Perfect stay for a mini weekend getaway. Cabin was clean and stock full of games and floats. Very close to a gas station and local bar which is all we needed! Would definitely come back.

Loved the property, it was perfect for us. We used the beach area and dock everyday. The house is very quaint and homey. Our family loved the board games, yard games, and the multiple hang out spots. Loved having our coffee on the front deck every morning. Will definitely be back!

Amazing Fourth of July!

My family and I stayed at the Relax and Reset Cottage for the Fourth and had such a great weekend. The property is very well maintained, the lake is beautiful, the staff was super responsive with our questions, and the area of gorgeous. Highly recommend a start and hopefully will be coming back!

Great place! Right on the water so you’d never need to leave. Plenty to do near by and it was a great way to spend the weekend! I would say bring ice bc the ice maker didn’t work but that’s easy!

Beautiful lake house with a wonderful private beach! My 2 and 4 year old spent so much time in the sand. Also nice fishing off the dock and on the lake, my husband took the canoe and the boat out multiple times and caught quite a few fish. The house is very clean, older but kept up nicely. We were able to make breakfast every morning in the kitchen and smores around the campfire every night! The beds are comfortable and bedrooms have nice curtains to dim the rooms for naptime for the kids. There’s even a Wii that we enjoyed playing! The yard games were nice to provide as well, we played croquet and kicked the balls around. We also visited Roche-a-Cri state park and hiked the 303 stairs, highly recommend, was very fun and the view was amazing! Truly such a fun weekend away!

Very nice place for a family vacation. Plenty of room for a group of six to eight. Many water toys supplied. House is well furnished and equipped. Was nice to have a dock for our boat. Only setback was that the canoe that was supposed to be there was not.

This cottage was great for all of our needs and had the charm of a lake house of the past. Very comfortable and easy to clean despite the private beach!The only issue we had was with consistent heat on the flat-top stove. I would plan to grill or use the oven if you are eating in.

We really enjoyed our stay. Except almost getting locked in the bathroom the door handle may need to be changed several of us had issues with it. So we stopped closing it all the way. The back door is a little tricky as well. Other than the door issues we loved it.

The cottage was perfect for our family of 8. There was enough room for all of us to sleep plus more. Everything was clean and well kept. The kitchen was stocked with nearly every appliance you could ask for. There were air conditioners in nearly every room. The yard was great and had lots of yard toys, bikes and floats for the lake. A canoe was provided for us to use. The neighbors were very friendly. One confusion was the key lock. There are two in the same area. The one in the door is the one with the key. A few of the door knobs would slip and we did get stuck in the bathroom. Other than that, it was perfect! We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great cottage overall! Very spacious living areas and kitchen. Kitchen was older but well equipped and worked great for our group. Great deck and bonfire pit. Our only complaints were the yard and swimming area. Unfortunately, there were weeds throughout the yard with small, very sharp burrs that were difficult to see and we all (including small children) kept stepping on them - could not safely walk around the grass without shoes on. The beach was great! However the swimming area was extremely weedy so we did not swim much - we did take our paddleboard & floaties out well past the dock and enjoyed swimming out there. It would have been great (especially for the kids) to have the shallow area with less weeds. We did ask about this prior to booking (since the pictures also show how weedy it is) and the owner told us that the water gets "weeded" by the county once a month in the summer, so we must have been unlucky on our timing.

Super cute cottage! Old but sucha a cute vibe and very well kept. Outdoor area was amazing, the kids loved swimming and playing in the sand. We had a very relaxing time. Host is super quick to respond! Lots of floats for the water as well!

I describe this house a Monet. Very beautiful upfront but as you move closer the more blurry it gets. The kitchen is unusable, prepare to use the charcoal grill or microwave for any warm food. We enjoyed the living room seating. The beds are rock hard and with needing a hip replacement I cried most nights. No central air but air conditioning units in each major area except the landlocked bunk beds my boys were most looking forward to. The outdoor fire pit seating is broken, lots of bugs and lake grass. It was nice to sit out side on the beach and look at the lake. I’m sure it’s even better if you had a boat to get to the middle of it to. Would recommend again
