We had a lovely weekend baking Christmas cookies, enjoying our view of the lake, playing board games, and walking over to the restaurant for breakfast and dinner. 🤗

Great little hidden gem! The dock in the morning with coffee was my favorite! It is literally steps away from the restaurant which was wonderful too a little loud in the morning when they were opening but not bad. It was a great vacation.

We were looking for a place on a lake to escape the heat and try out our paddle boards. This place wound up being the perfect spot! On a "no wake" lake with direct access to the water. Lots of privacy! We loved watching the dragonflies and bats!

The Lake House

The Lake House

This was our first time to spend the weekend on Anderson Island. We have purchased land there and want to see what it’s like living on an island! We had the best weekend and access to the lake and being able to walk next door to the restaurant was cool! We live in an apartment so it was so nice to have outdoor space, especially for our Morkies, Mork and Mindy. Everyday at 6:30 am a deer would come into the yard! Added bonus! Booking for another weekend in September! ❤️ Thank you to the Homeowner for sharing your home.

Lovely cottage on the lake. Fully stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. We had a great time and so did our dog Baloo. He never wanted to stop swimming and fetching. We played games and had a wonderful time.

Wonderful!, this older home seems to cradle you. We felt comfortable right away. Spent alot of time on the dock sunning and fishing. It supplied us three great trout dinners. High quality fish in this lake. Would love to come again.

Ended up perfect

Ended up perfect

Initial communication was an issue, along with cleanliness upon arrival (scheduling issue with cleaning service). But the owner made everything right (had service come out and fix immediately). Our stay was wonderful after that, and it's a beautiful home in a very tranquil location. Will be definitely returning!

Very relaxing and comfortable stay

Very relaxing and comfortable stay

We had a really nice stay at the lake cabin. The views are beautiful- morning and evening. Very quiet. The amenities can't be beat. Two different fireplaces- one in and out. The house was clean and comfortable. The island is charming - get used to waving- because everyone does it on the island. The general store is friendly and the prepared meals are terrific. Whoever makes the chicken and dumplings is a star. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We just booked another visit for the holiday season.

Pandemic Staycation

Pandemic Staycation

Our family was searching for a little staycation during this pandemic to get away from it all. We quickly found this Anderson Island home and from the pictures of the location and views I quickly booked it since it was available. When we arrived the home itself had more wear on it then I had expected from the pictures but in the end it had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. I wouldn't recommend this property for anyone with very small children as there is a lot of smaller knick knacks and such around the house. But, for our almost 3 yo it was a treasure chest of fun - with lots of parental supervision! We all enjoyed the lake that was right outside our front door, enjoyed coffee and evenings sitting on the deck, tried our hand at fishing, and our daughter enjoyed the tree swing and dirt and water to play in as well. It was nice that the water was very shallow around the dock and beach since we had a little one around. I also appreciated that the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, pots, etc! So, if you're looking for a cozy little house to stay in this is for you - not modern but like being at grandma's house.

Such a great time! Jimmy and Bonnie’s place is full of antique charm, Kitchen fully stocked with supplies, plenty of towels, blankets. Being your food, eat out on the Calm, quiet lakeside patio. Jimmy was super responsive to questions and as friendly as can be. Our family will undoubtedly return.
