Wish I stayed longer

The house was very well appointed and had plenty of bed options for all of us. We were there for an event happening on one of the small islands, so most of my time was spent there. But the early mornings found me sitting in front of this cottage at the water’s, enjoying the sights and sounds. I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful lake front property!

This was a great house for our “mom’s weekend” to celebrate a 40th birthday. The house was immaculate and communication was great. The sunsets were priceless. We hope to bring our kids back next summer.

Great!!

We've stayed here several times and it's always been great. The only problem is my 90 year-old mother who can't navigate very well. She will probably not be able to come again. Otherwise, superb! I highly recommend it!

Nice Weekend Get-Away

Cute litle cottage with plenty of room for family of 7...lovely decor and view of the lake! Perfect location on Indian lake, close to cute restaurants/bars/donut shop/pizza/groceries! The only complaint is the AC did not work great; but given the extreme heat...probably why. We will be back!

Beautiful house. Great Fishing

The house is very nice with an excellent view. It was clean and easy to find things. The owner left instruction for how to work the T.V., the check-out process, and other helpful tips which was very nice to have. Fishing off their property was excellent. Over the weekend I managed to land 10+ nice and fat catfish, lots of bluegill, and a few keeper walleye. All in all a good place to stay.

Family get a way

We had a great time. Fishing, taking long walks, and just hanging out in the back yard watching the boats go by. Lots of sailboats which looked so beautiful on the lake. We loved our stay! The cottage was amazing. Everything was so nice and was furnished with absolutely everything anyone would need. Beautiful place. We will definitely go again!

Family Getaway

Myself and my family have been going to Indian Lake for many years. We absolutely loved the Madison Cottage. It was the perfect size and location. The house was decorated beautifully, very clean, and well stocked with everything we needed. The rest of my family stayed in the home next door during this same timeframe. It had been a few years since we’ve all been to the lake due to my husband being on a transplant list. He did receive a transplant back in August of 2022 and this was the perfect location to celebrate his 1 yr anniversary. We definitely plan to return next summer.

Wonderful family trip

Our trip to The Madison Cottage was wonderful. The views were amazing and we all had fun kayaking and swimming right off the dock. The house was extremely clean and well stocked. We will definitely return in the future.

Second stay at Madison Cottage

Spent the weekend at Madison Cottage, very clean and inviting home and location. We(myself, my husband and our son and his wife and family) stayed here for the second time. The home is very well kept, and had almost everything we needed for our stay. Still needs living room lights that are not coming from the ceiling. Both my husband and son crochet and the over the shoulder light is just not available. Other than that we all had a great time. Enjoyed playing cards at the dining room table, sitting by the lake or mini trips into town to enjoy the local area. All in all, lots of fun for everyone. Many thanks!

Great location

Very clean, has everything you need! The house was so cute with nice lake decor. The location on the water was wonderful. The kids and adults were outside the whole time enjoying the lake and the view. We participated in the Labor Day Ring of Fire and that was cool to see. Would love to go and stay again!

Birthday Weekend!

I rented this house for a long weekend with my family for my 60 something birthday. The house more than exceded my expectations. I enjoyed the spaciousness and yet convienent access to everything in this house. The outdoor firepit that we didn't have to haul out and back was a defninte plus. Firewood and toilet paper would be a great addition to the many available amenities. Had a great time and caught a variety of fish! Thank-you, your rental property is well worth a return trip.

Fun at the Lake

This is our 3rd stay with Matt & Shelly, and we had a great time! Their place is in an awesome location, it's clean/updated, and has an amazing backyard for the kids to swim in the lake/fish/have a campfire. Already planning to come back next summer!
