We came here for Memorial Day weekend to have slow and relaxing time away from stress and devices. This was perfect for what we needed and the view of the lake was beautiful. The fire pit by the water was perfect for smores and enjoying fishing. Would recommend this to others who need an affordable getaway near the water

This was a quick one night stay. Perfect for what we needed. Would have liked to spend a weekend instead of one night. The deck/patio near the lake was superb to relax and decompress after a long day.

Great get-away!!

We had a wonderful stay at this house! It was incredibly clean and cozy; peaceful and welcoming! We loved having the lake front property for our quick stay, too! Everything was truly so nice here, I would book another stay at this lovely home in a heartbeat if our travels took us back down to Colon! Thank you!

Cozy cottage. Nice personal touches. Great hosts.

My husband and I stayed a couple nights for an anniversary getaway. The peaceful lakeview is perfect for the cozy cottage. We watched turtles, swans, and ducks and listened to the sounds of a loon and other songbirds. The hosts were communicative and friendly the entire process. We would stay here again.

Lakefront Fun

The house is cute with a great view of the lake. We spendt time eating on the patio and enjoying the view. There were good restaurants not too far away, and a Dollar General that we had to run to for some things. The check-in and check-out process was so easy.
