About this property

Lakefront Cottage w/ Hot Tub & Private Sand Beach

This property is newly renovated specifically with our guests in mind. Each bedroom includes extra blankets and pillows for comfort and mirrors in all bedrooms in attempts to help keep the bathrooms less crowded. All bedrooms are outfitted with blackout blinds, so no early morning wake ups on vacation! The sleeper sofa mattress is brand new and is memory foam, so no more uncomfortable nights sleep on a sleeper sofa. Both televisions in the house are roku TVs so you can sign into any streaming service you desire. The kitchen is fully stocked with baking sheets, crock pots, ample pots and pans, cutting boards, and wine and whiskey glasses for every person in your party. The finished basement has a ‘pup closet’ for your furry family members that has a doggy door inside leading to outside where there is a very large enclosed dog run. There are two large covered patios - one with a large propane grill for family feasts, and let’s not forget the hot tub.

Winter weekend get away
We absolutely loved staying at The Lilley Pad. It was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated the little extra touches that made our stay even nicer (hand lotion, shampoo/conditioner, etc). We would definitely recommend staying at this location.

Reuniting with family
We had a wonderful time vacationing in this clean, most accommodating home located on a lovely lake. Sarah was quickly responsive to any questions we had. We listened to the loons in the early morning and the bullfrogs and Whippoorwills at night. The fire pit was surrounded by many chairs where we toasted marshmallows and made s’mores. We fished, kyaked, paddled in the paddle boat, swam and visited with friendly people on the lake. I couldn’t imagine a better vacation!

Great stay at a thoughtfully designed spot
My partner and I were looking for a quick trip out of the city with our pups. We had everything we were looking for with this property. We spent must of our time cooking, relaxing in the hot tub, and (carefully) hiking nearby trails with the dogs. We appreciated the extra space to stretch out, and the hosts graciously allowed us to light the fireplace with some firewood we bought nearby. The only hiccup came during check out when the cleaning crew arrived too early, and wasnt too happy with us. The host is incredibly communicative, I would just suggest confirming check in and check out times to avoid a sour spot on a sweet stay.

Perfect quiet getaway.
Sarah was a fantastic host! We appreciated her timely responses. This VRBO is situated off the beaten path by quiet neighbors. The decor, coffee bar, ample pillows and blankets made for a wonderfully cozy stay. Love the open layout and counter space. Highlights include the hot tub overlooking the lake, enclosed deck (hearing the storm roll in while reading was just *chef’s kiss*), and little doggie room and fenced space for our little prince. Would DEF recommend.
