We celebrated our 20th anniversary in this lovely cabin filled with art. Cozy and very comfortable. We love Goshorn Lake Resort’s amenities and would certainly rent this property again.

This cottage was adorable and perfect for my stay. It is small, but it had everything that I needed. I especially loved the screened in porch. The art throughout the cottage is quirky and led to many interesting conversations. The location is perfect and close to everything I needed. The beach is lovely with many amenities, including a play structure for children and kayaks. There’s also a basketball court near the beach and a wide expanse of grass perfect for games or picnics. The pool is beautiful and clean. I loved the serene setting- it felt very private. I especially appreciated the excellent communication with the host who saw to my every need! I highly recommend this adorable little cottage for your next getaway!

Perfect Location

This resort was very well maintained and offered a pool and private access to Goshorn Lake. The stay in Cottage 10 was great. It was very cozy and comfortable, and it was in a great location close to downtown.

We enjoyed our stay. The lake and beach were perfect for young kids and we had fun at the pool too. The cottage was small but cute, functional, and fairly clean. We'd consider staying here again in the future.

My kids and I loved the Illustrator Cottage! It's on the small size, but well laid out. The fold out kitchen table is a nice touch. Check-in couldn't have been easier. And the facilities ar Goshorn Lake were fantastic. We will definitely be back!
The lake was a big hit!

Illustrator Cottage was a quaint retreat. The vibe was retro, comfortable and perfectly coordinated. The resort had so much to offer in addition to our cottage. Boats, kayaks, swimming, game room, fishing dock, beach, pool and more! It was so close to everything. We couldn’t have asked for more!
Ready for our 30th anniversary dinner date! From flip flops to fancy (ish).

The whole experience was great from beginning to end. Although i communicated with the staff via text and email - there still were no issues. They were very helpful, professional, and pleasant. All the amenities were great! The cottage was fully stocked and immaculate. We are thinking about making this an annual trip gong forward. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice get away.

So happy to be back at Goshorn Lake

I love this resort. I used to bring my children each summer when they were small. It's a lovely resort and everyone is very friendly. The Illustrator cabin was perfect for just the 2 of us. Cute and cozy. We'll definitely be back!

Great getaway

More amenities in the house than I expected The fishing, kayaking, swimming, basketball and other activities there were just what we needed to get off of electronics and disconnect. My kids didn't even ask to turn on the TV I'd would bring extra blankets next time, otherwise, great time and wish we had a longer stay. Looking forward to doing it again

Goshorn Lake

Wonderfull family oriented group of charming cottages. Park right at your front door. A short walk to a private beach on a picturesque 27 acre lake. Nice pool. Basketball court. Sand volleyball. Quiet. Relaxing.
