Beautiful , peaceful, amazing place for kids, family, all around extremely happy.
The owner were very nice,the house needs a lot of work, we went to close the window and a pane of glass fell out no one was hurt ,there were 7 of us 1 standing board 1 kayak 1 tube not inflated had to buy a pump turns out it had a hole in it.the kitchen needs a nice big cast iron cooking skillet, we had to go buy one.all in all we had a good time.
Wonderful stay. Everyone really enjoyed the feel of the place. Many terrific spots around the island to explore.
We had the best weekend on this private island! But there were a few tradeoffs to renting such a unique property. The boat launch had very limited hours, so we had some issues with getting out boat in the water. Also, make sure you bring plenty of jugs of water with you since the water on the island is not good to drink. Additionally, there is no place to dock your own boat that is not on the island, which causes some issues for getting off the island to go to the store. So there were a few hiccups, but we still loved our stay and would consider returning!
Great time spent with family. We were surprised to find a huge fridge. The 1920’s property is charming , with a lovely fireplace. The huge porch is amazing, even when it rained we still had a great time.
This place is awesome plain and simple. Beautiful views, every amenity you could ask for, owners are super nice. We didn’t even have a boat but wasn’t an issue at all as they had cayaks, a paddle boat, paddle board, and tons of tubes to float around the island on. Probably the hottest fishing spot on the lake is right off this islands dock as well. Everything I could’ve hoped for and more. Would have given it 6 stars if I could.
We had a great time.
Having an island of several acres to yourself is a great way to spend time with close family. Fishing from the shore or boat produced bluegill, crappie and large mouth bass. The property is older so dont expect a fully renovated cabin. The screened in porch is huge. There was no air-conditioning, but the canopy of trees and the breeze that comes from being in the middle of a lake helped keep things cool even when in the 90s. For those who need their own bathroom, this may not be for you. You access the full bath through one of 2 bedrooms. There is also a toilet room just outside and a shower located just off the screened in porch. No tv, no wifi, and you're in the middle of nowhere so you may or may not have a cell signal. But thats not why youre going to vacation on an island isolated from the rest of the world. We will likely stay here again.
Everything about are experience was above expectations. The host was fast and friendly when communicating. The cabin and island were better than we could have ever expected. I wish I could just live here.
What a secluded vintage treasure of a unique cottage. Lots of areas to relax/read/zen/swim, or watch the boats go by pulling kids on their water toys. Beds are comfy and lots of kitchen amenities stocked for large parties…..they have it all~ There are many unique items to admire throughout the property. PLEASE BE GENTLE ON THIS WELL CARED FOR COTTAGE. There is no WiFi, but cell service is excellent! The checkin process is unique, so please be patient!! You will love the hospitality!! We will be back!
Very unique cottage located in the middle of Evans Lake!
