We had a very peaceful stay at Skinny Dipper cabin. It was clean and supplied most of our needs. We had 4 people staying and only 3 full size plates, but we made do! There is AC, but not in the bedrooms so they got a little stuffy and we had towels, but no washcloths- our problem, because we never communicated with the host! I’m sure they would have resolved all issues. But the whole experience was lovely! The lake was so pretty and having access to it with kayak, canoe or rowboat was very appreciated! We did some fishing and just enjoyed the beauty!

Great stay

We camped with a couple friend of ours here at the Skinny Dipper cottage. We enjoyed our time together. Our toddlers especially loved the playground and open space to run, along with the fishing dock just across the creek. We’ll be back.

This cabin provided exactly what we needed. Some time away to reflect and relax and reconnect with friends. I LOVE the new stove and refrigerator! They fit perfectly!

Decent property but misleading post

My impression was our cabin would be lakefront which is what i put in the search. While the property itself is lake front, our actual cabin was not and there was no view of the lake where we were. I found this misleading and I'm not sure this was mentioned somewhere but it certainly wasn't the impression i was under by the listing, pictures etc Otherwise the stay was as expected, kitchen could be stocked a little better such as a wine opener. It's the little things. We had a nice time all in all but are not likely to return.

Enjoyed our stay

The hosts were very friendly and responsive.There was an issue with the hot water and the host came out immediately to fix the issue.The only thing I would say is that some of the pictures online do not depict the actual cabin and area correctly. For example we thought there was a gas grill because that was the picture that was shown on the site of the “Skinny Dipping” cabin. But that grill was located at another cabin on the grounds. Also from the pictures it appeared as though it was closer to the water. Some of the other cabins are. But the description does say access to a shared beach and does not say waterfront. So that’s partially my misunderstanding by not paying close attention to the description.The cabin was super clean!! Which is one of the things that is most important to me! The appliances were well maintained and clean!There are a few small amenities that would have made cooking a bit easier but mostly it was stocked as well as most.This particular cabin does not have a driveway right up to the cabin for unloading. Not a big issue if you know ahead of time. My husband has breathing issues and when we contacted the host he was very understanding and came out immediately to assist us and granting us permission to drive up to the cabin to drop my husband off.I would definitely recommend this cabin or others on the same property! I just think knowing a few of these things ahead would make your stay even better!!!

Skinny Dipper Cottage is a quaint, rustic cottage near a small lake. Do not expect anything very large or fancy. It is very much a cottage as the name suggests but cute and campy. We had a few issues while we were there, but the host was very responsive to phone calls. There are no toiletries provided apart from toilet paper and hand soap, so bring your own items. They also could have stocked up a bit more on the essentials to accommodate larger groups. Linens and towels are provided. There's lots of geese outside, so watch out for goose poop on the lawn! Our group spent most of our time elsewhere, but the nearby lake looked really nice. This cottage is perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway by the lake with family or friends.

We were disappointed, the listing states waterfront. We couldn’t see any water from the place we stayed.

Summer Getaway

Owner was super friendly and responsive to our needs. We filled the cabin to capacity but spent all our time in the lake, grilling, or by the fire pit. Rained a couple day but who cares. Brought kayaks with us but the guys used camp-supplied boats for fishing. The beach is tiny...just big enough to get to the water. It was a lovely vacay.

wonderful stay

Overall everything was perfect. The lake was perfect for kayaking and the kayaking rental rates are ridiculously awesome! The only downside is that the well-water smells so bad that it makes the cabin stink, and they should invest a little more into making the cabins feel cozy.

This was just what I was looking for. A place that I could go fishing without having to haul a boat around.

Perfect Weekend

I enjoyed my weekend at this property. Being on the no wake section of the two lakes, allows for an experience without the watercraft moving all around you.

Loved this cozy cottage for a quick weekend getaway. The cottage was very clean when we arrived. We loved enjoying the kayaks and that it was pet friendly. Only downside if the water does have a weird smell to it but

Water had a terrible smell. Probably the worse we’ve ever encountered

The location was great and the sleeping areas were great. The water had an unpleasant order to it.

Thanks Bob and Ruthann for staying with us and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes, the well water here has a lot of iron and minerals in it. We have it tested regularly and it has always tested safe for drinking and cooking, but we do recommend that guests bring drinking water. Hope to see you again soon!
