Great place for a family vacation! The pond was clean and calm, great for kayaking and paddle boarding and the hosts had all of that there for you. Lots of outdoor seating, and a fire pit right in front of the water was so awesome!

This house has been such a great place for my family to gather! It is clean and easy to keep tidy with plenty of space to move about! Granny Kent Cottage is very family friendly and a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the sunrise with a cup of coffee on the dock! We look forward to next year!

Great cabin by lake

We really enjoyed our stay. The location right on the lake was amazing. The host provided kayaks, floaties, and a paddleboard. The interior was pretty cozy. The view from the 1st floor was amazing.

Beautiful - even in the rain!

This house sits on a beautiful lake with gorgeous views from the living room and upstairs. Even though it was raining all day Saturday of our weekend away, we enjoyed our stay and took advantage of the kitchen and comfy couch. It was great to bring our dog, too - he had a great time.
