Quaint and cozy property offering 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths with open floor plan throughout the dining room, living room and kitchen space with vaulted ceilings. Rustic cabin situated on the canal just houses from the lake! Enjoy lake views from your front deck with plenty of space to dock your pontoon and water toys. Newly renovated laundry room. Great for fisherman, hunters and families. Easy access to ORV trails and lake access 1 block away for ice fisherman.

The lake can be quiteshallow at times just outside of our canal. We can't control the lake level or Mother Nature. It usually is plenty deep for a pontoon or an average fishing boat however you will probably have to tilt your motor up. Stay in the center of the canal and head straight out into the lake until you are in at least 3 feet of water.

Renters are expected to fill out the rental agreement with the host and return to the host before rental begins.

We have 3 outside cameras for security purposes.
Camera 1 is located on the SE corner of the cottage monitoring the side yard
Camera 2 is located on NE corner of the cottage monitoring the deck/dock.
Camera 3 is located on NW corner of the cottage monitoring the side yard
We have a Ring doorbell camera located by the front entrance to for security purposes.

    Top notch accommodation with attention to details, right on down to plenty of paper filters for coffee maker. All I had to do is bring my own coffee.

    Absolutely amazing time! The hosts have this place stocked. We normally travel with a lot of our own supplies, but this home had it all - fans, basic kitchen needs (bags/foil/etc). However the board games (found a new favorite) and children’s toys were such a wonderful addition! Our son was occupied the entire time! Water was perfect, VERY close to the boat launch and very easy to launch from. Home was easy to access from the canal and we had an added treat of a live band that played on the 4th (our son was very sad it was a short concert). Fireworks ended at a respectable time each night and it was great to see the shows). Even though we had some hot days, the house was never too hot with fans going. The hosts were very responsive and quick to help answer any questions. We had a great time! For those that have that sweet blood - come prepared! In the 2 minutes from running inside to grab spray our son got about 15 bites. Overall a great stay!

    We wanted a canal location for our pontoon. This place was perfect for our needs. We easily got on the water every day. Neighbors were great and the area was quiet. The living room furniture was very comfortable. There is no air conditioning but there were plenty of fans provided to help cool the place down.

    Best weekend with high school friends! Love that we could get our pontoon and dock right at the cabin!! Enjoyed the deck and had a fire. It couldn’t have been the more perfect weekend.

    Nice dock right out the back door. Unfortunately, the opening to the channel is only 1.5 feet deep. We barely got our boat in and out of the dock. Nice cabin, but no air conditioning. Luckily, we didn't need it. Very relaxing stay.

    Awesome place to stay! Beautiful sunrise in the morning. Great view of the lake from the back patio. Comfortable beds with plenty of pillows. Michelle and Tom are extremely friendly and a pleasure to work with. I’m from Arizona on a golf trip and I know I will be staying at the Pickled Perch the next time I’m in town ?
