Perfect cottage for couple or small family. Beautiful setting with lake view and plenty of water toys: kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats, etc provided.
What a great property. We enjoyed our stay and had all the amenities we could ever need. The outdoor shower was a 10/10!! A little gem on a quiet lake with the clear waters and sandy bottom that the Chain offers without the crowds and chaos. A great spot and a great host!
We had a great fall stay. The property was great and we were able to bring our dogs. Beautiful lake and we kayaked multiple times. It was great having the kayaks there. The lake has the clearest water I have ever seen. We will definitely consider rebooking in the summer.
Great place, plenty of room. We had possible severe weather, wish what to do in severe weather was listed. Smelled very musty on arrival. Some improvement with open windows. Blinds in sun room very musty. Honestly only downfall. Wish we could have enjoyed the back yard more but the weather didn’t permit.

Apologies for the musty smell — you were our first guests this season, and we truly appreciate your understanding. We’ll make sure to air things out and have a dehumidifier available, especially after rainy weather like we had that weekend. Sorry the weather didn’t cooperate this time — we’d love to have you back in the summer when it’s at its best!
Wife, mother of two, love for making memories and travel.
Why they chose this property
The crystal clear spring fed lake and sunsets! The aquamarine colored water.
What makes this property unique
Although just minutes away from town and the busy Chain O' Lakes, you feel like your away from it all. You have a choice in enjoying a full rec lake with ability to water ski or boat or you can scale it down and relax on a kayak, paddleboard and swimming. the location makes you feel like your "so far away from it all" without having to drive hours up north to get away.
