'Spare Nichols' 1880s Lakeside Cottage

The Cottage is close to the park and all the activities. Very clean! And plenty of room for the family. The kids loved playing lakesideopoly! We spent alot of time on the balcony and front porch!

We loved the coziness of Spare Nichols. The kitchen was stocked with all necessary items for yummy meals at home. And the new grill was a fun bonus. We loved the quaintness and friendliness of Lakeside! Purchasing parking pass and guest day passes online was an easy process and the best option for us

Well taken care of historic lakeside cottage. Very cozy beds with bright and cheery interior. Perfect location for all Lakeside activities, boutiques and eateries. We loved everything about our stay here!

We loved the town. So much to do and it felt very safe and friendly. A true gem.

Spent a week during the Fall at this lovely vintage cottage. Cozy and clean living spaces. Perfect for a couple or small group. Kitchen has all you need - and a cute dining space too. Peaceful and quiet in the Fall after the season is over - just a quick stroll to lake as well as a small convenience store -- a perfect location. Will certainly return!

This cottage is airy and cute. Very clean. Perfect for a family. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, walking to nearby parks, and eating in the cool dining area. My kids said they wanted to live in the cottage forever! We will definitely be back.

The property was nice and close to downtown lakeside. We enjoyed our stay but feel that the gate fees should be posted in the listing. It's $35 dollars per person per day. Plus parking outside of the gate.It adds up if you stay several days. The link for fees is listed in the description but not clickable. Communication could have been better as well. Overall, beautiful community but not thrilled with the extra charges.

I did not want to leave this adorable cottage. It may be tiny, but it has everything you need to enjoy a simple stay in Lakeside. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the 3 different porches were perfect for enjoying the outdoors. My favorite part was being able to sit on the front porch and hear the music from Hoover Auditorium. I will definitely be back!

Very clean and organized. The beds are very comfortable and the 2 porches (especially the one off of the master bedroom) made it great for me and my daughter. I loved sitting up there with my coffee. Im so happy the tree is there too, to provide shade. The location is great, and the lists Gwen put together took the guesswork out of trying to find any supplies, as well as making checkout easy. I do wish the check-out time was later than 10 am. It just seemed a bit too early. 11 or noon would have worked better for us, especially since the fee paid at the gate gave us until 7 pm.

This was our 3rd stay at Spare Nichols. The house is clean and in a fantastic location! It was another great stay!
