This is our second time staying at this “lake house”. It’s in a great location with its own lake. The kitchen was updated and the lower level/basement seemed to be pretty new which was great. WIFI is spotty but that’s to be expected when you’re in the woods that also made my kids stay outside most of the time, which I didn’t mind. My kids were fishing pretty much every day even in the 90 degree heat. There are ample fish in the lake plus a few surprises as my son caught a 5lb large mouth. We had a few issues with the AC and batteries missing in remotes which i contacted the owner about. Very prompt responses which was refreshing. Overall, we had a great time and my kids can’t wait to go back. Thank you!

Our stay was great, could not get any of the TV to work . A pile of wires in corner, said it all. Everything else was perfect and comfortable!!! We all enjoyed the stay very much. Decorated nicely. Could use a ping pong table or pool table. 😍

Great and peaceful view of little lake, jacuzzi is amazing and the house itself very clean, warm and nice environment feels here

Beautiful house on a beautiful piece of land. My family of 13, from 5 years old to 83 years old had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving. We enjoyed the spacious and comfortable house and loved exploring the pond and property.

Our family of 14 loved staying at this location. Plenty of room and lots to explore.

The house is great, location lovely. We had a wonderful time despite the drawbacks. Drawbacks: 4 rails missing on upper deck railing... very dangerous for small children! Master bedroom windows wide open when we arrived and were stuck open the entire time. Air conditioner in master bedroom broke two days into trip; thankfully that's when the hot weather stopped! Air conditioner in a downstairs bedroom iced over and leaked. Paddle boat sunk and in bad shape; obviously has been that way for awhile, so we only had one boat instead of the promised two. Tried to contact owner, which was difficult since VRBO's system did not deliver some of the time, would not allow me to send my cell # to him so we could communicate via text. Owners response to sunk boat: "its a shame that renters don't respect our property"... (not my problem!! House was advertised to have two boats!) Owners response to windows stuck open in master bedroom: "Maybe you can removed screens and pull the windows closed"... (this would have involved moving the king sized bed to get to the window and hanging out of a 2nd story window to try to fix). Also, "Private Lake" is not accurate. Its more of a pond, and there is another house just across the pond, where there was a party with VERY loud music on Saturday night. Thankfully, they were gone by Sunday. We just gave up on trying to get anything fixed while we were there, and enjoyed the rest of our trip. Fishing great, pond lovely, house clean.

We were very disappointed to find that the bottom floor was blocked off, which included another bathroom and more bedrooms, even though those spaces were included in the listing. We only had available to us 2 bathrooms, 1 room with 2 twin bunks, 1 room with a Queen, 1 room with a king, and the loft. In addition, there was nowhere to put trash outside, and the animals picked through it, leaving a mess. There were some plumbing issues, as well (backed up drain), which we fixed ourselves. Donald was responsive on the last 2 issues, but these were things we needed to attend to which we didn't expect. We would have appreciated a heads-up about bringing our own garbage bags. Other than these things, it was a nice space, but we would probably not stay there again.

My family and I had a great time on our 3-night stay. I easily reached the owner when I had difficulty entering the door (I was at the wrong door haha). We very much enjoyed the canoe and paddleboat. The kitchen was freshly renovated and furnished with everything we needed to prepare large group meals. The cottage offers the best of both worlds: a rustic feel but with modern benefits (a/c, TV’s in every room, bathroom vents, updated appliances). I pile definitely return.
