    We enjoyed a quiet relaxing getaway at this home. Everything was there that we needed for meal prep, campfires and fun. The boat options were great! The view of the water was calming. And Kevin was kind, quick to respond and helpful with any questions we had. Thank you.

    We enjoyed our stay at the lake with good fishing and exploring the lake in the paddle boat. The view of the water from the cottage and yard was picturesque and serene. While the neighbors are close, it was no issue at all. The neighbors were friendly and the overall area was peaceful. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed and more. We appreciated the AC since it was really hot during our visit. It was a pleasant surprise to be welcomed with a nice message and a bottle of wine. Definitely recommend this cottage! Thank you Kevin for the great hospitality :)

    Everything was just as described! Having my two year-old granddaughter there it was really convenient having all of those items for her. It was nice to be able to take the paddle boat or the kayaks out. Very relaxing!

    The cottage was home away from home. We attended a wedding in Coleman and wanted a quiet on the water! This was great! It was really nice, clean and inviting. Also, the beds were incredibly comfortable. Thank you!

    We wanted to get out of the city and unplug for a weekend and this was just the place! Very family friendly and truly a home away from home. My picky teen requested to stay there next year already!

    Though the lake is very small, one gets the essence of a cottage on the lake. Very comfortable place, all was as described.

    This cottage was perfect for my wife and I to relax and for our kids (10 and 7) to play in the water and chase the fish (and turtles). We took out the canoes and kyaks and tried our hands at fishing off the dock as well. Having firewood onsite was a nice surprise. The host, Kevin, was super informative and responsive. Highly recommend this place!

    Our family had the best time fishing, sitting around the fire, trolling around the lake in the kayaks and paddle boat, and relaxing inside. The house really had everything you could need. We cooked several meals at the house. Grocery store is only 10 minutes away. We found 2 great restaurants - Trail’s Head for pizza, and Sheri’s Diner for fantastic breakfast (and sandwiches). Neighbors were friendly. Would definitely stay here again next summer. I think it would be great in the fall, too!
