What a perfect little house and setting. We brought our two toddler children and one infant and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The kids slept great on the twin sized pull out couches. We loved the screened in porch for meals and the kids enjoyed the hot tub and roasting marshmallows at night as well as the Franklin books! Overall 10/10 experience! Sharon was an excellent host.

My husband and I stayed here with our 7 week old! It was absolutely amazing! Never saw any neighbors. Very quiet and private. The house was so clean, and comfortable. Loved the sun room! We used the hot tub as well! We went to the Dairy Treat in town and it was the best ice cream we have had! We did not catch any fish, so that was disappointing but the lake/river was super high! We would stay here again!!

A cozy cottage
This property is in a nice lakeside neighborhood although it is close to a railroad track and busy road. It is clean, cozy and convenient with everything you can possibly need in kitchen etc.
Only two issues: it was very difficult to open the door. It was as if the lock had trouble working with the key? I’m sure it’s fixable. Also, the hot tub jets only work on one side. Which they may not be aware of. All n all, we enjoyed staying there and it is very comfortable. We had to leave day early but it wasn’t because we were unhappy.

Weekend Getaway
My husband and I came out for a little weekend getaway. The place was just what we needed. Quiet, clean, and with lovely views of the lake. The lake is very shallow, so if bringing a boat, be sure to do your research on the lake beforehand.

Perfect relaxing getaway.
This is the perfect place for a weekend trip. Enjoying meals from the screened in porch over looking the lake was wonderful. Relaxing in the hot tub looking up at the stars. Sitting by the fire at night or watching movies on the very comfortable sectional. Even caught some catfish right from the backyard. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and the host was very helpful and answered any questions we had very quickly.

What a lovely place to come to and relax after dropping our son off at Coe College.
The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect stay: cozy, clean home, kitchen packed with all the things one needs for cooking, comfortable bed, incredible views of the lake-THE SUNSET!
We would definitely come back!
