Stayed Jul 26, 2025Our family of 5 had an excellent stay at Wavesong Cottage! The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The shade trees and provided fans kept the house and yard comfortable on warm days. The beach was absolutely amazing and we spent lots of time swimming, paddling on our SUPs, and taking long walks. There are 81 stairs down to the beach. The steps are in good shape and there is a hand rail. There were 8 Adirondack chairs down at the beach and 8 more up around the deck area as well as a picnic table - so plenty of outdoor seating.We would definitely stay at Wavesong again!

Stayed Jun 21, 2025Owner has equipped the property very well, and also taken time to label everything and leave clear instructions for use. This might seem like a small detail, but is so helpful when you are in someone else’s space. The property was beautifully/ comfortably furnished. The quiet, wooded location, view, and beach were OUTSTANDING. We’ve stayed on the Big Lake several times, and we all agreed that this property is our #1 FAVORITE!

Stayed Jun 7, 2025The Wavesong Cottage is a beautiful home with a fabulous view of lake from inside and out. Very well stocked, with comfortable bedding and linens, paper & cleaning products, and gas grill for cooking. While there is no oven, there is a large toaster oven. Guest should be aware the cottage sits approximately 7 stories up stairs from the beach. Overall, it was a great cottage for our family vacation!

Stayed Sep 14, 2024This place was perfect. My sister and I needed a getaway of peace and quiet and Wavesong was the perfect place. The beach was awesome and relaxing on the deck was great after a day on the beach. There was everything you would need in the house. I would definitely stay here again.

Stayed Aug 3, 2024Loved this vacation rental! The beach is fantastic, while there was a smattering of stones at waters edge, after a couple short steps it is all sand as deep as you can walk in the water. Chairs were provided both on the beach and in the yard so no need to move furniture down the bluff stairs. Everything was provided for a fire; wood, lighter, fire tongs, even marshmallow roasting sticks! The grill has propane hard wired into it, so no need to worry about a tank going empty on you. The hammock is in the most perfect spot to enjoy the breeze coming off the water or relax next to the fire. They have truly thought of everything you might need or want to enjoy a perfect out door afternoon on the most beautiful lake in the world. The house was also very modern and comfortable, perfect for gathering with friends or family. We enjoyed many games around the dining room table while we waited for the sunset each night. The true joy of a vacation like this is spending quality time with your loved ones and with everything provided at this rental you are setup perfectly to maximize that time in comfort and luxury.

Stayed Jul 6, 2024We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wavesong. As noted, everything was clean. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and cooking items/pots & pans. Plenty of nice towels was very much appreciated. Note that cell service is very spotty but wifi connectivity was good. Remember to write down the door code and wifi password before arriving - I didn’t and had to drive back out to a main road to get a connection and access the letter from the host, Julie. Lesson learned! Thank you for providing such an awesome home!
