Be aware that this rental is a cottage on the homeowners property. The owners were very respectful regarding our privacy. The shower head has absolutely no pressure and the well water is a bit smelly. Everything else was great. Loved sitting out on the dock at night having a cocktail. Overall, far better than staying in a hotel.

In town for concert

When we arrived was greeted promptly, owners were very helpful and showed us around. Did not use lake area much as this was a last minute booking. Would definitely stay again if ever back in that area.

About the host

Hosted by Cherri Prince

Host profile image
Our family loves living on this beautiful lake and we love to have guests stay in the cottage. We moved here in 2008 and immediately fell in love with this property. My husband wanted to raise our kids the way he was a lake where you can fish, swim and kayak the day away. I am a writer and author of a children's book called Lollipop Seeds that Sprout for Kind Deeds. Hence the name, Lollipop Cottage!

Why they chose this property

This almost 2 acre property is often described as a resort. Our goal is for guests to feel like they are staying in a park, with lush green grass and tropical plants to a gazebo (perfect for our kids wedding someday!) a lakeside hammock and even a zipline. Relax and renew yourself.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the sunsets over the lake. We've had the best conversations over a glass of wine in the gazebo. We travel a lot on business so we designed the cottage interior to match what we love about the best hotels we stay in---flat screen tv, roomy sitting area with plenty of sun, comfy bed and of course coffee.
