We thoroughly enjoyed out stay. We had 6 people sharing the house and there was plenty of room. It was nice to have 2 bathrooms and a half bath (one bath downstairs does have a higher toilet). (The walk-in shower on the first floor is a bit small). It was convenient to have two bedrooms and two baths on the main floor for those of use with bad knees. We were in town for a celebration of life so it was nice for the three groups to share a house so we could spend time together and catch up. The weather was nice enough that we were able to use the deck and put the fire pit and heater several times. I had to do some cooking for the celebration and the kitchen was well stocked. Just a warning for anyone who is handicapped - there are a couple of steps going into the house but then there is a high step going into the kitchen and another going down into the living room. The three of use with bad knees did figure out the best way to navigate this step but a handle of some sort would have helped. We were here in the fall so the conditions were not right for us to go in the lake but then home is right on the water and there are plenty of water activities available. We would love to come back in the summer sometime.
I did contact the owner with questions a couple of times and she responded right away with answers to my questions.
Everything from the property to the host was top notch. Home is well appointed, in a great area, supported by a host who ensured we had a great stay!

This was a wonderful property that had everything we needed for a great weekend. Our 2 year old had a blast playing in the water and there were plenty of toys. Lots to do in lake city and great neighborhood. Thanks again for letting us rent your lake house!

This property is great. Everything you need is available on the property. No need to overpack with supplies. The beds were super comfortable. We had a great time fishing, swimming and paddle boarding. So nice to be right on the water.

From the owner: "Lisa, Thank you for the five-star review. I am so happy you enjoyed the cottage and all the fun things we have for families to use on the lake and the beach. You were great guests and we would love to host you again next year."
- very comfortable house, great beds and pillows, no complaints!
- the house has everything you could need and well labeled to be able to find anything in the house. It's probably the first house we didn't have to go to the store to get random household items for in the kitchen.
- the cove the house is on is perfect for protecting boats on the dock and if its windy on the main area of the lake, the cove is warm to play in the water and hang out. Our pontoon did great on the dock with no issues overnight. The frontage is not a sandy bottom, but no weeds and is not mucky. Kids were able to catch fish off the dock all day.
- the house was super clean and there were supplies available to keep it clean
- neighbors are quiet and it was a calm, relaxing spot
- the deck was fantastic with great furniture, a dining table, grill and the fireplace
- great enough we re-booked for next summer before we left
- owner is super responsive and checks in for needs throughout the stay
From the owner: "Lynn, Thank you for your 5-star review and kind words about your stay. I am so happy that you enjoyed your time at our cottage on the lake and will be returning next year. I also appreciate your feedback to help us provide guests with the best stay possible. Our goal is to have families relax, enjoy, and make memories."
