Our host was wonderful and he even offered to pick up items we might need at Wal-Mart! The cottage has everything you could possibly want or need. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to prepare meals without having to supply anything extra. We made one trip to Wal-Mart for some things we had forgotten to bring. It was a very calm and peaceful place to stay.

Wonderful host and place

We got a warm welcome from your host, David. He made us feel right at home. The house was beautiful and had every accommodation we could ask for. The weather was perfect (but hot) and David gave us some fishing tips. The dock was perfect and the area was quiet and peaceful. We will definitely be going back as soon as we can. Thank David for being a wonderful host!

Relaxing and comfortable home away from home with Great Lake views.

We loved the cottage. It was perfectly situated with split bedrooms and bath and a large fully equipped kitchen and great room in middle. The large back screened porch was great for having coffee in the morning and relaxing with a book in the evening. The boat dock was perfect for our boat and my sons jet skis with boat ramp visible from dock. Our host David made us feel so welcome and we’re already planning for another stay in two months! We had a great time. Thanks David, we’ll see you soon.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The house was beautiful and accommodated for a large party, great location near everything. Host was very responsive which we liked. Unaware of the horrible dock conditions and water conditions around the dock prior to booking. Definitely would have picked a different house if we knew ahead of time because we had children and adults wanting to swim. The AC unit was set at 74 and it made it impossible to be comfortable within the house during the night because it was hot outside.

Great Lake Retreat

The owner is an excellent host! The house was very clean and well equipped. The quiet cove is great for swimming or floating. The new dock is very nice and equipped with bumpers and cleats for tying off your boat. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had such a wonderful time we didn’t want to leave!!!!

The property was 10 times better than the photos!!! The house and beautiful porch were lovely. The kitchen was better equipped than my own! The owners who live next door couldn’t be more accommodating or friendly. The lake is beautiful and great for all kinds of boating and swimming. David and Cindy were wonderful hosts! Our grandson had the best time of all!!! None of us wanted to leave!!! Thank you! Sue, Al and Braeden

Would do it again in a minute!

This was the perfect location for our trip. The house was so comfortable, so many applicances/utensils available to make the Thanksgiving dinner we had planned. Plenty of space, immaculate, great yard, wonderful dock / space on the water. Can't say enough about this place and the owners. It was just like being at home. If we do this again, we will definitely stay here!

Bring your boat!

What a wonderful week! Pictures don't capture what a wonderful property this is. David and Cindy are the best hosts! We brought our 21ft skiff and there was plenty of room on the dock for both David's boat and ours. Launch is just down the street, visible from the dock. Everything you could possibly need to cook or grill with was included. The entire back of the house is a screened porch. Step off the porch and just steps to the lake. We went to dinner at Fayz at the Lake on our boat! We will be back!
