Great Place for a Summer Getaway!

We came with extended family…grandparents down to middle school aged grandchildren. The cabin was clean and spacious. Everyone had their own space but we had lots of room for family games and meals. We loved the kayaks and it was easy to get our boat in the water and hooked up to the dock for tubing and skiing. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking big meals and the bathrooms were well stocked with towels. We had a great time celebrating the 4th of July as a family and the cabin was the perfect location!

Great for a short getaway!

6 adults and 2 dogs for 4 days, and it didn't feel crowded at all.We brought our pontoon for a weekend of fishing. Nice, sturdy dock to tie to! The lake was calm and quiet with lots of fish to be caught. The host is easy to get in touch with and very responsive. Those steps... Luckily for us, it was nice outside so we didn't have to fight the weather to go from upstairs to down and vice versa, because not everyone in my party felt comfortable using them. That's my only hangup, but we definitely plan to visit again!

Lovely cabin and location

Really nice property with fun games, hammock, kayak, fire ring (wood provided!). Spiral stairs and sloped rock path were a bit treacherous. Could use some additional kitchen utensils, like chef knife and metal spatula. Pontoon mentioned an ad not available.

Wonderful Retreat

Buttercup Hideaway offered so many options to relax and recreate. The surrounding trees created privacy for the big yard area. The house had a wonderful view of the lake and was stocked with various supplies and had many thoughtful touches. We cook as a family and the kitchen had the tools we needed to make our meals. The Weber grill was in good working condition (we often find grills in rentals do not work well). We would recommend staying at Buttercup Hideaway!

Good Property

We all enjoyed our stay. The floor plan is open and the view is nice. We were impressed with the fire pit, the seating options and the yard games. The games downstairs were also a hit. The bedrooms were comfortable and we appreciated the black out curtains. It might be a place we would enjoy again.

Fishing frenzy

We had a great time catching lots of fish from the dock and out on our boat. Plenty of room inside for our rainy Monday. Landscaping around the house could use some clean up and weeding.

Summer Vacation

This property was amazing for our summer vacation. The house was well stocked, the bedrooms were large with comfortable beds, there were multiple gathering areas for socializing and playing games, and the air conditioning was wonderful for a hot week. Outside we loved the swimming area and were able to fish right off the dock. The bonfire area was very nice and hammocks and swings were relaxing. The hosts were very accommodating. They provided many supplies that other rentals do not, which was appreciated. A great stay, highly recommend!

Amazing house

We had such a great time at your cabin! Our grandkids thought the spiral staircase was “fun” but tough to go down with a dog. We just walked around to get him inside. Everything was just as it looked online. Had plenty of dishes for our group so the dishwasher was a lifesaver. Grandkids caught fish off the dock so that was a big deal for them. We rented pontoon for a day and just floated in lake with grandkids jumping off pontoon and floating around. We would definitely love to come back again!! Thanks for a great family week!!

Family vacation

The house worked great for our group. It was clean and well stocked. Joe was very helpful and responsive during our stay. The lake is small and not very busy which was great for us. The only disappointment was that the lake was green and full of seaweed by the dock, so we weren't able to swim at the shore. But we were able to rent a pontoon so that we could go to middle of the lake and swim off the boat. Overall, the stay was very good I would recommend this cabin.
