A little piece of Heaven

The entire property is just as quaint and perfect as possible. The cabin and the lake are wonderful, but what makes it so endearing is all the personal touches and guest involvement. From all the hand painted rocks to the hand painted pictures, the owners of this property take amazing care and want everyone to feel that they've left a little of themselves to share with future travelers.

The cottage was exactly as shown online - GREAT!

This cottage was perfect for us. It was very clean and we had all of the necessary utensils. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the deck which looked out into the forest,but had sun for tanning. My fishing was a little frustrating at first, but when I started using worms I had fantastic results. The grass area was plentiful enough for staking my young dog who became intrigued with the squirrels and chipmunks. Overall, this was a place which offered peace and quiet while giving us the opportunity to enjoy the beach and boating. We plan to return.

A nice getaway

This cottage was nice! It was decorated cute and had the basics needed for time away from home. There were some “creature comforts” that made me miss home though, that with just a little adjustments, I’d give this rental a higher rating. I am not one to complain so please take these as just suggestions. In the bedroom, there was no where to hang or put clothes out. There was a very large papasan chair that could be replaced with a table or a clothes rack/shelf. There was also no side tables next to the bed even though there was space. It was just these tiny shelves attached to the wall that felt more of an inconvenience when I’m fumbling around in the dark. There were also too many little lights all around. In the living room space, there were maybe 8 or so light switches/fixtures to turn off/on. Also, the day bed mattress was 100 times better than the main queen mattress. The queen mattress was very loud and bouncy - it felt like one of those pullout couch mattresses and we had rough nights sleeping. Lastly, we booked this rental because of the beautiful shower which it was beautiful, but there was very very low water pressure so the shower experience wasn’t what I had hoped for. Overall, the rental provided what we needed but just didn’t offer the “home away from home” feeling you really like with rentals.

Loved the jacuzzi tub and the back deck

We had a fantastic stay! The cabin was beautiful and well stocked. The jacuzzi tub was a wonderful surprise addition and we made sure to enjoy it even in the rain! The location was interesting for us and we enjoyed the Salmon River areas offerings. Our very easily fixed complaint was with the sheets and plastic mattress cover that kept coming off. The bed and sheets could also have been more comfortable. But this is always a feature that I feel VRBO owners should drop their good money on quality bedding. 100% of your visitors are going to sleep there! Just a suggestion. We would absolutely stay here again in the future.

Idylle am See

Bereits im Vorfeld haben wir von Brian genaue Informationen zum Checkin, Checkout, der Nutzung der Boote, der Feuerstelle...erhalten. Ebenso eine gute Beschreibung, wo die Hütte liegt. Bei unserer Ankunft an der Hütte Nr. 4 hat diese uns (Familie mit zwei erwachsen Kindern 25 / 20 Jahre) sofort begeistert. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail war sie dekoriert und ausgeleuchtet. Die Betten waren sehr angenehm, das Bad sehr chick. Mit viel Freude nutzten wir die beiden Abende unseres Aufenthaltes den Gasgrill. Die Umgebung ist ein Traum. Überall Chipmunks im Laub und Squirrels an den Bäumen. Auf dem See macht es unheimlich Spaß mit dem Kajak zu fahren. Wir waren zwei mal unterwegs und konnten in dem verzweigten Gebiet immer wieder was entdecken. Denn obwohl der See gar nicht so groß ist, gibt es doch einige Inseln und Biegungen zu erkunden. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
