A perfect get away place with a lake view and the sunrise.
Quiet, cozy. Beautifully decorated. Everything I needed was there. It was nice to wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck watching the sunrise. Close to everywhere you need to go.

Quiet time on Lake
Cottage was just as described in very comfortable. Mid week there’s just no activity on the lake so it’s very private. Good communication with owner and absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Adorable cottage. Very clean looks exactly as pictured. Peaceful coffee on the back deck was so nice just hearing birds and looking at the lake. I would definitely recommend this hidden gem.

My family and I absolutely adored the cottage and the peaceful town it was situated in. The view was breathtaking and the cottage itself was immaculately clean and charming. We felt right at home and were able to prepare all of our meals in the kitchen, which we enjoyed on the patio overlooking the lake. The locals were incredibly friendly and spending time by the beach was exactly what we needed to rejuvenate. I cannot speak highly enough of the host - she was incredibly responsive and kind, ensuring that our stay was flawless. We are already looking forward to returning in the future!

The perfect Lakehouse getaway
We absolutely loved our stay here. Exactly what we were looking for. Fishing, beautiful views, cozy coffee spot and close to the beach. The sunroom was everyone’s favorite spot. Our three kids loved the big upstairs bedroom that stayed cool and quiet for a midday nap. Well stocked kitchen cabinets had anything you might have forgotten. Five star for sure!

Peace and tranquility are what comes to mind about this property. This adorable lake cottage is updated beautifully with all new appliances. It was an extremely quiet area of the lake. We loved having coffee on the new deck and watched a huge thunderstorm safely inside the sun porch. We will definitely visit this property again

Girls trip
Our trip was truly magical. The cabin was charming and perfect. The pictures do not do this place justice. Everything was so clean and beautiful. I truly loved the ceilings in the place. You will see what I am talking about when you book. The beds were comfy and made up with the most beautiful bedding. We truly appreciated the large plush bath towels provided and stocked shower wash/shampoo to clean off the river after a long day. The host thought of everything right down to providing coffee ☕, beach towels and even comfy chairs for around the fire. I have been to do many rentals that provided nothing. It's just so much more to pack and drag arounf. So truly it was appreciated that so much though was put into our comfort. We enjoyed a very fun and relaxing trip down the beautiful Abusable river and a trip on the river queen. The locals are so friendly and fun. We enjoyed some karaoke at the local bowling alley and hit a couple more watering holes stoped for some local ice cream and visited the local beach. Truly amazing little town and beautiful location for a low key relaxing glamping trip. Lots of memories were made and tons of laughs were shared.
