We had a great time here! This property was a great getaway from the city and to relax a bit. SO quiet. I wish the weather had been warmer, but we still enjoyed the paddle boats, the grill, and fishing. Our dog also loved the property. It's very private with plenty of space for him to run around. We will definitely be back :)

The lake view was absolutely breathtaking! The peace and quiet of the star lite nights was EXACTLY what we needed to reset from our day to day stressful city lives. Will definitely go back.

Perfect little getaway

Loved it here - cabin was perfect size and extremely clean. Best part, that king bed was extremely comfortable. Cabin situated on the end of the road next to the owners who were available to answer questions and very kind. Our dogs loved the yard and the lake. It was so great to find a place that would allow more than one dog (rare find). Truly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Relax

The property is exactly as the pictures show. The patio is private and offers a beautiful view of the lake. The lake was very weedy in mid-July. Kiel is a quick drive into town for groceries. If you want a quiet getaway, you'll be pleased.

Grandpa’s Cabin on the lake :)

Our second stay at Richard and Mary’s cute Cabin on the lake. Such a fun trip. Kayaking on the lake and riding the waves at Koehler Andrew National Park at the beach with our teen son & two dogs. A nice week of fun and R&R. Thank you Richard & Mary!!!!! ❤️

Quiet and relaxing retreat

In the area for a wedding, we did not have opportunity to go out on the water; but we sure enjoyed the view and the peace and quiet. The super clean and airy cottage felt plenty spacious for the two of us. Richard and Mary were warm and attentive without being intrusive. We would happily return if back in the area.

Lake House Life =)

What a wonderful stay with Richard and Mary! The bedroom windows and sliding glass door look out over the lake, the lake breeze is especially pleasant in the evening, and the A/C made for comfortable sleeping in a wonderful bed. The reading chair with a view of the lake was perfect -- and so was the chance to take the new pup out for her first pedal boat ride just at sunset. I look forward to returning for further adventures and relaxation!

Highly Recommend

My with and I, both in our 70’s with husband needing walker. We had planned to have a last summer trip, and this could not have been nicer. Extremely clean, well suited for a walker, beautiful lakeside view with adjoining fire pit. The owners were both very accomadating and readily available for any questions. It was a wonderful way for us to end the summer. Thank you to the owners.

Relaxing at grandpas cabin

Awesome time, stores near by for food. Peaceful location, went out on lake in kayaks and paddle board. Wish I had a fishing license. Saw a lot of little fish by dock. Lots of turtles stick heads out of water. Saw geese, Herons, Egrets, cardinals, several other smaller birds. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary. Great romantic getaway. Owners were great, checked in, made sure we had everything we needed. We ran out is salt called them and got salt with in 2 minutes. We enjoyed our time and recommend location.

Grandpas Place was very comfy and cozy. Very quiet location, others were there in the neighboring places but you couldn't tell. The only item i wish was there was a first aid kit, only because I needed a band-aid, lol.
