Awesome place.
Very quaint and private. The grounds are roomy with a private lake for fishing and kayaking. The cottage is spacious with amenities provided. The hosts are perfect and bring fresh eggs in the morning. This was our 4th year staying here.

Always A Great Time!
This was our second visit, and we had a wonderful time! It was cold and rainy when we arrived, and a fire was waiting for us so the house was warm and welcoming. We take our two small dogs with us, and this is a great place for them too! Looking forward to visiting again!

A wonderful, unique, " magical" property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this well- kept, wonderfully decorated, quiet and peaceful cabin. The lake and trail around it were peaceful and pleasant. The proximity to Chain O Lakes S.P. allowed us to hike for longer distances and kayak. We hope to return in the Fall. Loved the little decorated cabins and sheds nearby, and thenpeacocks and chickens.

Relaxing Location
We chose the spot for its quiet and country atmosphere. We were not disappointed. The place was full of wildlife, the pond was beautiful and the fountain in it was very relaxing. We watched a small painter turtle and bull frog on the shore each morning and evening. We definitely would like to visit again. And spend more time at the property this time.

A PRIVATE PARADISE
This place was perfect! Secluded & private. The hosts were friendly & accomodating. Loved the fresh eggs, walking around the lake, the animals, and my husband loved the fishing!! He caught so many fish!! The use of the paddleboat & row boat is a big plus too! New fridge & stove too! Loved the comfy bed. Small town not too far away if you want to get out for awhile. We'll be back.

Wonderful Memories
It was just like going back to our childhood cabin on the lake. Warm and cozy felt like stepping back in time. Rebecca and Don were great. The fresh eggs were out of this world. We are definitely going back in June. Very quite and peaceful. A great place to decompress. Highly recommend.

A Must Stay!
One of the best weekends was spent at this charming cottage. Rebecca and Don were such lovely hosts. The property is off the beaten path and so quirky and charming. We fell in love with it! Our dog was in heaven, as well. Walk right out to the back to your little piece of Heaven with the lake, trees and everything in between! We absolutely cannot wait to return! Thank you for a memorable experience and your gracious hospitality.

Private Paradise
Was a wonderful getaway with my youngest son. We had a blast! My son lost count somewhere around 40 fish caught he said. It was harder keeping him supplied with bait than anything else. Great place, great location, wonderful owners!! I would recommend this rental to anyone looking to fish, grill, and just get away from everything and everyone! Two thumbs up all around!!

Peaceful
A unique and peacefully quite property. Go out on the lake in the rowboat and catch some fish or just drift along and take in natures activities. You can hike around the lake and explore and check out all the buildings if you wish. They even have peacocks and chickens. The house is clean and well maintained. You will find everything you need except groceries. If you like peace and quiet this place has your name on it.
