Lake living at its finest in this comfy cottage

Escape to this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront home that combines comfort, style, and natural beauty. Nestled right on the water, this open-concept home features a spacious eat-in kitchen perfect for gathering, cooking, and enjoying lake views while you dine.

Ideal for families, couples, or small groups this home offers everything you'll need for a peaceful and memorable stay. Bring a pole and enjoy the great fishing this lake provides or use the 3 kayaks for a day you'll never forget. Relax on this quiet lake in a hammock by yourself or at the campfire with family and friends. And you won't want to miss dining at The Douglas Lake Bar and Steakhouse, known to the locals as “The DLB", offering great food and live music on the lakeside patio in July and August.

Very cute and cozy cottage stay! We had a nice relaxing stay here. We loved the open kitchen and living room area for cooking/serving food. Due to the time of year (mid-June) and being on the water, the May flies were outside pretty bad but that is to be expected anywhere you go north. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Family Getaway

The house was a nice place in a quiet area. It was nice to have space where we could enjoy a meal together and relax after being out and busy all day. Really enjoyed lake access and the use of kayaks and the fire pit. (Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes were active when we visited.)

Great Property

Very spacious, well-appointed, clean cottage on Douglas Lake. Everything was as described and fit our family's needs. Kitchen is large with lots of cabinet space. Plenty of room for our group to spread out. Loved the screened-in porch and the covered outdoor patio. Would definitely stay here again!
