Check in was easy. Nice kitchen. Very clean space. Bathroom was very clean. It is right near a public park/beach area. We didn't check out the park, but being close to it wasn't bad. No extra noise, etc. We caught fish off the dock. We had a good time.

Fantastic location!

Was easy to find the property following the directions provided. Had a hard time getting into the lock box but the property/location was fantastic! The surrounding location was beautiful roads to travel around. Stayed with my husband and our 4 kids. The younger ones absolutely loved the sandy shallow private swimming area right outside the cottage. The teens spent most of the week out on the paddle boat. Even talked dad into taking one ride. Everyone really enjoyed fishing. They caught plenty of sun fish and blue gill and a few bass. Shout out to Jackie's airport restaurant they had the best breakfast and dinner we had! We all had a great time.

Restful Week

The weather was perfect - 80s during the day and 60s at night. Enjoyed using the paddleboat, canoe, and rowboat. The cottage was very clean and stocked with everything you may need. Only down side of the week was the fish were not biting. Definitely would love to rent again.

Very Relaxing

We had a spectacular week at the lake! We were on and in the lake every day, and had a fire most nights. There was a great breeze, so we spent a lot of time on the deck. While it is an all sports lake, the no wake periods in the morning and early evening were perfect for kayaking and paddle boating! The owners are great to work with! A storm knocked out the power the morning we planned to check in. And John kept us informed about the status and offered to let us come up the next day. Thankfully it was back on quickly, and we made it with no delays.

Great little lake house

The house was extremely clean the lake has a great Sandy Beach to walk into although I will say the lake is extremely active with jet skis and speed boats flying by a little scary but doable there's a great little public Beach right next door the only downfall to this property is there is no air conditioning or dishwasher but the homeowner did provide fans for every bedroom and two of the bedrooms also have a ceiling fan as well as the kitchen the homeowners could not have been more friendly or easy to work with

Fish, Fun and Family Time

This was a lovely cottage that was perfect for myself, my husband and our 2 grown sons. Even though it was a rainy week, we had a great time hanging out, fishing off one of the supplied boats and then cooking together. The cottage had everything we needed and the hosts were very available and quick to reply to any messages. The park next door was convenient and surprisingly quiet. Relaxing on the deck was peaceful and I looked forward to the daily visits from the pileated woodpeckers. The surrounding towns were conveniently located and held their own charms. We hope to come back again!

Perfect get away!

This was the perfect place for our Mother-Daughters get away! The house was amazingly clean with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. While we spent very little time indoors, the living area is well sized and the shelves are stocked with books and games to be enjoyed in front of the little fireplace during cooler months. The lake is beautiful, clean and clear making it the perfect view while sipping morning coffee on the deck, and dinner at dusk when the sky reflected its beauty across the water. So peaceful and relaxing! Evening fires outside, near the quiet lake were the perfect way to end the day. We are already making plans to go back next year and highly recommend!!
