"Our family had a wondeful time relaxing in the hot tub, on the deck, and down by the river. Rooms and beds were comfortable and spacious. Had to bring our own awning to go over the hot tub, as it is out in the open. Not a bad thing to say about this rental, and if we do come back to the area, will definitely stay again."

"Perfect location as we were visiting family nearby. Loved the spacious layout and amenities. Very family friendly!"

"Amazing, unique property! So beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed just sitting in the sun room and staring out at the lake. Great recommendation for Bullseye marketplace near by. T.K. Lawless park is right next door, wonderful trails for all! We would love to stay again, we certainly did not want to leave!"

The house was clean and well stocked with spices, pots, pans and cooking utensils. They had some wonderful surprises waiting for us when we got there. Ryan was amazing, attentive and got back...

"Very cute and clean property. Enjoyed the views of the lake. Second time renting, will be back."

"We booked this VRBO for a place to stay to go to the Notre Dame/OSU football game. It was a beautiful weekend to be on the lake and enjoy this lovely home. It was everything we could have asked for. Thank you, France, for your hospitality."

"Beautifully decorated. Kitchen appliances and utensils well stocked. Very clean, charming and peaceful. No closets or dressers in bedrooms was an inconvenience. Other than that a very nice stay!"

"The cottage is charmingly vintage but still quite comfortable. The hosts include thoughtful touches like spices, toiletries, fishing rods, laundry soap, etc., that aren't necessary certainly but that make for a welcoming stay. Donnell Lake is a quite busy little lake and wasn't our favorite for our quiet little paddleboards and sailboat, but we were also there over Labor Day, so it's probably not always quiet so busy. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying at the cottage, though. The...
