Great stay by the water!

We had a fabulous stay in early April watching the ice melt and the ducks. You can't beat the view of the lake and everything you need is at the house. The house was very clean and well kept. We hope to stay again!

Great cottage

We went for ice fishing - cottage was cute and had everything we needed. Great communication with hosts. It snowed a lot and they took care of the property well. But I am convinced there are no fish in Big Cobb! :)
