Please note the lake is drained through summer 2027 so water activities are not possible!

The day bed is located in the open dining area and has a roll-out twin bed. Each room has storage for clothing in dressers and closets. The house shares one bathroom with a relaxing rain shower.

Enjoy your days outside in our seating areas, cooking on the grill or in the fully stocked kitchen, swim in the lake out to our floating platform, ride kayaks and paddle boards, and play games from our fully stocked game shelf.

We stayed here for the weekend of our son’s wedding. The view is spectacular and the cottage is so cozy! My favorite part was the little touches of vintage decor. Lots of room to relax and visit with family.

Great weekend getaway

Three families - 6 adults, 4 kids, and our dog. Perfect location - lake was great - kids had a blast kayaking - adults enjoyed the fire pit - all enjoyed the house! Not too far from the Wild Animal Park where we went on Saturday with enough time to fully enjoy the house and lake!

Happy Times!

Property was just as advertised. Very cozy inside, lovely outside, with gorgeous view of lake. We used the kayaks, paddle board, and floating platform. Very peaceful vacation, friendly people around us, and easy communication with owner. Swimming was a lot of fun. At first grassiness of lake was hard to handle but after a short time in, it became fascinating on it's own. We loved looking below with goggles to see the vegetation and fish! Absolutely no complaints here! Thank you Taylor!

Great place!

This was an extremely cozy house with an unbeatable lake view. We were for women friends and so having four bedrooms was great. The house could sleep a lot more people too. We would definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Taylor Morris

Host profile image

I grew up in the area enjoying the lake and small town living! I have also lived in New York City and Indonesia, ask me about my adventures in finance, scuba diving, cooking, and my love of reality TV.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is my family’s home away from home, and we hope you feel the same way! I hope you enjoy the kitchen where we make milkshakes, use the grill to cook steaks from the local farmers market, sit on the back porch to enjoy sunset drinks, and play with the kayaks at sunrise.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is furnished with cozy finishes, updated to provide the comforts you are accustom to yet still homey and comfortable
