Birthday vacation

When we walked into your cabin, we were just amazed, how beautiful and peaceful it was there. We just loved all the photos of the fish and decorations in the cabin and lures. It took me back to my grandma and grandpa when they were fishing together, and I still have her That she gave me when she and I would go fishing.There was no noise no traffic and beautiful sunsets that we could watch out the window or just by stepping outdoors and walking onto the lake. We also enjoyed ice fishing in Iola and at the cabin on Hatch Lake although we didn’t have any luck it was a lot of fun , but maybe next time we will, we enjoyed the restaurants in the area as recommended by the host we definitely would love to come back and stay Thank you for allowing us to stay at your cabin. It was everything we were looking for.

Cute & Cozy Cottage

Cute and cozy cottage in a nice neighborhood. The lake was pretty, good for kayaking, not as much for swimming. Firepit was full of water cuz of all the rain we've had. Water has a lot of iron in it, but you can refill at iola sentry for 50 cents. Very clean and great that we can bring our dog. Lots to do in the area, Iola is very cute. Host very responsive. Very clean and we lived

Last minute getaway

We were looking for something on a lake with great fishing just to relax. This property was perfect. Nothing luxurious, big or fancy. Just a place to relax and enjoy great weather. The deck is great, kayaks and floatation raft were great.

Carmen’s Clean, Cozy, Cute, Comfortable Cottage

We stayed for the weekend to visit relatives for a camping trip, but we aren’t campers so we stayed at this cottage. In our opinion it’s much for comfortable than a sleeping bag. The view of Hatch Lake and sunsets are lovely and in the morning the Loons were making their beautiful sounds.

Family getaway

Was a nice getaway for our family. Great view right on lake. We enjoyed the firepit right by the lake with the view. Sunset was amazing. Our son loved getting in the water off the dock. Wish was better access from shore though but right off dock water still shallow to swim. Did a little kayaking which was fun and was our son's first kayak adventure and he loved it. The pie at Crystal Cafe in town was delicious!

About the host

Hosted by CARMEN

Host profile image
Hello and welcome to our cottage! I work full time and decided I wanted to have something to show for my hard work that was close to my house for me and my children to enjoy. We all love to fish and swim so what a perfect place to have!

Why they chose this property

I looked long and hard to purchase the perfect cabin for us that would also work for my parents, which means no steps to the water! I wanted my mom and dad to walk out on the dock and fish with no worries of steps or walking up or down hills.

Also, what a beautiful sunset!
