My husband & I had a perfect week just chilling out in Lake St. Catherine & watching the Olympics. This home is small but very beautiful & well-appointed. My husband fished from the dock catching (& releasing) a northern pike & bass. We waded into the lake daily from the stony shore & spent hours just bobbing in the water-it was wonderful! We cooked all of our meals there finding everything we needed in the kitchen. The multipurpose oven was new for us but performed nicely. We originally hesitated to come due to the spiral stair & only 1 bathroom. We are in our late 60's but found the narrow stairway surprisingly secure to navigate. One suggestion for anyone who may be a light-sensitive sleeper is to bring a sleep mask. The many windows & skylight keep this home light & bright. We had a couple hot days but the fans kept us comfortable. We tried the kayaks but they were too small for my 6' husband to use, so we we mostly enjoyed the swimming. On our 1 rainy day we enjoyed the TV, a puzzle, & reading. It was really a wonderful relaxing week! The host is very communicative & attentive. The instructions for the house are well-developed, comprehensive, & clear. The neighborhood is quiet, the lake is gorgeous, & we wish we were still there!

Once again (4th time renters), my husband and I had a relaxing stay at this cottage. It’s perfect for a couples getaway. The cottage is exactly as described but better. Lots of natural light because of all the windows and although no air conditioning, we never felt like it was too warm, and we’ve been there during heatwaves with high humidity. The kitchen, though small has everything you need. There’s even spices, olive oil and balsamic vinegar so it’s pretty easy to do your own cooking. The one large bedroom is a spiral staircase, so if you have difficulty with stairs this may not be for you, but we didn’t mind it a bit. The hardest part is getting the suitcase up and down, but otherwise no issues. The dock is great, getting morning sun but nice and shady in the afternoon. We loved kayaking in the early morning when the lake was oh so still and quiet. The floating loungers were great to relax on the water and cool down. We saw ducks, geese, herons and a bald eagle, so lots of nature to see. I’m sure we’ll be back again. P.S. My husband thinks the cottage needs a name like many of the others around the lake, so he’s decided to call it Leaning Cedars Cottage, hence the description of this review.

The house was exactly as pictured. Clean and well maintained. Loved the open floor plan and all windows. Nice quiet place to sit on the dock and enjoy the leaves and the lake. Highly recommend!

This home was fantastic. You are literally right on the water. Quite peaceful and very relaxing. Fantastic place for two people to enjoy. Great area to explore and nice local restaurants. The kayaks are a definite plus. The owner is very quick to respond and answer any and all questions. You can find no better place to sit and look at the lake and watch the boats. Another plus was all the neighbors we met were very friendly and had great suggestions on places to see. We will definitely return to unwind and recharge.

Swimming from the dock every morning, Kayaking in the afternoon--an idyllic vacation.

Beautiful well equipped cottage with a wonderful quiet location on Lake St. Catherine. Hiking,biking, walking trails, and golf near by. We relaxed ,read and swam on the wide dock. Plenty of food options too!

This property is exactly as described in the overview and in the pictures. House was immaculate and stocked with everything you will need for a great vacation. Wonderful location right on the lake with spectacular views. Great communication from the owner.

This place is absolutely wonderful for two people. The views are fantastic, the cottage is perfectly outfitted, the hosts have left nothing out, it is a dream escape.
