Courtney was an excellent host and made our stay truly enjoyable. The house had everything we needed, from well-stocked essentials to thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. It was also such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, serene getaway.

This is a beautiful property with an exceptional host! The home was stocked with everything you'd need, it was clean, and very comfortable. The outdoor space was beautiful, filled with large mature trees, and ample space with three separate patios, a pellet and propane grill combo, a well lit corn hole set up, and ambient lighting throughout the yard. I will definitely be returning to this property. Thank you, Courtney!

We really enjoyed our relaxing stay in this cozy lake cottage, everything we needed was supplied. Lake levels were down, so not very good view, but we still enjoyed ourselves! The host was very communicative and helpful. We will be back, perfect for a couple!

Cutest cottage! The host was so thoughtful - house is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The bar on the porch was perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks. And sitting out on the top deck was so pleasant. Perfect stay!
