About this property

Bluegill lake -Lake front retreat- Dog friendly - additional charge

Lakefront, fishing, row boat, paddle boat, floating dock and slide, bring kayaks enjoy and relax. Three bedrooms one bathroom, plenty of space, and things to do. Fire pit right out the back door. Great WiFi for you work from home individually trying to get in a couple of days away from your home office. Extra monitor, mouse, and keyboard available bring your our cords and/or docking station. Flat top grill and charcoal grill available - you must clean. I try to supply condiments and spices so you don't have to bring those things with you. Minutes from Harrison, close to many ORV/snowmobile trails. Golf course within 1 mile. Dogs are welcome upon approval; just like to review things before renting. Dog run right next to the house for easy exercise and potty breaks. The lakefront next to the dock is clear water and pretty sand for swimming. Lots of fish. This is a no-wake lake, the boat launch is within walking distance. Parking for four cars, maybe a trailer or two as well. I have removed the cleaning fee's I think it is confusing at check out. There is a pet fee, please add when booking. Please message me with questions.

ABSOLUTELY No smoking, Fires in the wood stove, events, or parties You will be asked to leave with a financial penalty and forfeit of any prepaid funds.

If you need more space the neighbors also do VRBO no pets allowed but nice for a couple families to get together. please see link below. https://www.vrbo.com/3487950

A+++ vacation spot

We've stayed here multiple times, it's always a great retreat on a quiet lake. There's plenty to do, the property is clean, and the house is large enough to accommodate 8 adults.

Perfect Cottage for the Winter

4 adults and 4 kids fit perfect in this cottage. We couldn’t have had a better host. Very accommodating and friendly. Options for ice fishing and close to skiing and snowboarding made this the perfect place for us to stay. We had pets with us and the dog run next to the house was a bonus. Lots of options for kids to have fun with games and activities. Highly recommend choosing this cottage.

Excellent vacation experience!

We loved staying here! The house was neat, clean, and cozy. Comfortable bed and well stocked kitchen. Roomy bathroom. We needed to contact the owner to clarify something and she responded immediately. We liked how steady the dock was being a couple of seniors whose equilibrium isnt what it used to be. Loved being right on the water as it was a beautiful view and good fishing. So peaceful. Best rental we’ve ever stayed in! Wished we’d booked even longer. Maybe next year!

Quiet Getaway

We enjoyed the calmness of Bluegill Lake. The lake is small enough to see the whole thing from the dock. The house was very clean and neat and better looking in person than the pictures. Fully stocked kitchen and a supply closet for essentials were available for purchase. The kids really enjoyed the paddle boat and slide (huge selling point for us when booking!) We had some water issues during our stay which is why I’m leaving 4 stars instead of 5. The host was super responsive! We would book again!

Relaxing family weekend!

We loved our stay! Bluegill Lake is a no wake lake so it was perfect for our younger children to play and swim all day! We enjoyed the paddle boat and brought kayaks as well. Large fire pit and backyard to play in! House was very clean and set up perfect for renters. Extra touches like video games, golden tee and a great swing chair in backyard! Owner was so easy to work with and very responsive. We had one issue and it was fixed within 30 minutes of calling on a holiday weekend! Thanks for an excellent family weekend!

Wonderful time

My family and I had a wonderful time. The cottage was very clean and perfect for our needs. The grandkids had a wonderful time swimming and fishing. My son loved using the Blackstone, he was in heaven. The home had AC which we never had to use due to a floor fan in each room which proved "just right" for all of us. There were all sizes of life jackets, which was good, since we forgot the ones for the little kids. All in all this is a wonderful, quiet, relaxing cabin for everyone to enjoy! Thank you so much!

Summer vacation 2023

We wanted a place to get away from the pressures of home, and this was great! It was very neat and clean. It's hard to find a place for a family of 8, much less with 2 dogs, so this was perfect. The lake is nice and the kids enjoyed the raft and water slide. The kids loved the video games and board games in the evenings, and we had nice fires outside every night. The owner has provided for so many of the little things you didn't think you'd need, like usb ports in the outlet, or manuals for all of the kitchen appliances in one drawer. It was a great experience. Thanks!
