This place was wonderful! It was better than advertised. The room had everything you need for your stay, Sherry the host obviously put a lot of thought into it. Sherry was great to work with and the Horseshoe bar and grill had excellent pizza. The view of the lake is beautiful, especially when the sun comes up. We would definitely recommend this cottage and will hopefully stay there again.

Hi Robert! I see you said the room was clean and comfortable. I was wondering if you would mind to change the star rating from 1 to 5 please? A "1" is the lowest possible rating. Thank you!!

Great place to stay at Horseshoe Lake

My friend and I stayed here for a weekend deer hunt at Horseshoe Lake. The Mallard Room was very clean and has modern upgrades. The porch and patio area were also great for hanging out each night and you can see the lake from the front door. I would definitely stay here again the next time I’m in the area. The check-in process was easy, too.

Best kept secret

Our room was so comfy and clean. Location was perfect of where I wanted to be. Love the view of the lake and had a rabbit who visited in the mornings. The hostess goes out of her way to take care of you. Will be staying here often.

Rested Mallard

My first time renting with Vrbo so I was unsure of the process, but it ended up being very easy. The property was very clean (important to me) and was in the perfect location of where I was needing it to be.

Cute and Comfy Cabin

Stayed at the Rested Duck while visiting family in the area. Getting in and out was easy, the host was easy to contact and helpful, and the cabin was cute and comfy, with heating or AC as needed, a small refrigerator and microwave, and a Keurig and k-cups for coffee in the morning. Sitting on the enclosed porch when it got cold outside was an ideal middle ground.
