This rental was clean, in quiet neighborhood and communication with owner was excellent. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything, Suzi!
Suzi is awesome, very responsive and helpful. If you are looking for a place that is convenient, clean, and has enough space, this is it. The cottage has all the things as advertised and some things that were not but very helpful.Don't question whether you should stay at Lakeside Cottage!!!
We had such a relaxing time at The Cottage! Everything was perfect - coffee on the front porch swing in the mornings, napping in the comfortable bed during a rainy Saturday, and an easy walk around the Lake on Sunday! We will be back!!
The Lakeside Cottage was perfect for our multi-generational family to stay while in town celebrating my son’s college graduation. It was just as pictured! Beautifully updated. Large front porch for catching up with family. The large kitchen and dining table were perfect for multiple family meals. And the hiking trail across the street and along the lake was such a beautiful escape.. Our host was super responsive, very kind and accommodating. I recommend this home to anyone looking for a pet friendly home for their family. Such a gem!Thank you, Suzi and Kip for sharing your home.
The host was fantastic. Left us a treat and even a baby toy for our new grand baby! She responded right away when we needed help with the lock. It had everything we needed. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable.

Thank you so much, Tammy! I decided to go ahead and replace that lock after your stay. The new one is much easier to operate! And thank you so much for leaving the house super clean!
The property was great. Extremely clean and had most everything we needed in the kitchen. We were in town for a cooking competition so we had brought some specialty items with us.The property had more amenities that were listed. Will definitely recommend to friends coming to the area.
The hosts were very responsive and offered way more than expected. We loved the comfort and location of this home. We brought the family for an event (everyone enjoyed their stay), and the dogs enjoyed being able to walk to the lake! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us. This was an amazing experience!
We had to get out of our house for an open house weekend and the home was so accommodating for our 2 dogs and daughter they had everything they needed plus fun extras that made the staycation special
This was our home for a month while our house was being remodeled. It was perfect for us. It is spacious with comfortable beds and abundant kitchenware - there was nothing extra we needed. The appliances are high-end, and the house is very clean. We really enjoyed the front porch swing. Suzi's communication is great, and she is very hospitable. I highly recommend this property for short or long stays.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope the home improvements went well and that you were pleased. We would love to host you again in the future!
Inviting & relaxing, makes you want to stay longer
Very inviting, able to relax and just enjoy our stay. We came into town for church & to visit family. Perfect place away from the busy city but close to everything. Hidden gem I’d say. Had everything you would need for a short or long stay. Kids enjoyed the games & mermaid room. Beds were comfy and house was cold just right for Tx temps. Outside had nice areas to relax and just enjoy the wooded view.

Thank you so much! You and your group are welcome anytime.
We can’t wait to come back! Suzi has curated such a wonderful space. We had such a great time celebrating my best friend’s 40th! The Christmas decor was so cute and the entire house was just so warm and inviting! It didn’t feel like a stale and cold vacation spot. It felt like we were staying at a friend’s lake house! Loved it so much!
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this cutest house ever. From the moment we arrived we were charmed by the cozy atmosphere. The decor is absolutely adorable, adding a lovely touch to our gathering and Trailer Swift was an added bonus. This house is truly perfect for small gatherings like ours. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion in style.
