We had a great stay with our young family.We loved the upper porch, swings below, and the shallow sandy swimming area for our kids. Thank you being great hosts!
We had a wonderful stay. The house was very nice, spacious and clean. The view of the lake was absolutely beautiful and the water was so clear. The beach area was perfect for the grandchildren to swim and play. We could have used more refrigerator space due to our 5 year old granddaughter having diabetes and celiac disease so we did all the cooking at the lake house. Everyone would like to return next year for another vacation.
This was our second trip to this house on Rose Lake. The house is well stocked, very comfortable, and just as described. We love the crib for our littlest and the space to spread out for the rest of us. The swimming off the dock and sandy bottom made for excellent memories! Looking forward to coming back again soon.
Great Lake house for our sibling meet-up. House is just as described. Very comfortable. Beautiful mornings

Our happy place!
We adore the house at Rose Lake and have been back many times. It is so well maintained, amazingly comfortable beds, clean and well stocked! A lovely lake, well cared for home and perfectly relaxing vacation.
Our family met for a holiday gathering at this location and it proved to be the perfect getaway for all of us! The house was spacious, inviting, and beautifully decorated. Our hosts were very easy to communicate with and had left everything in order to make us feel welcome and comfortable.
This house was perfect for our family holiday weekend. Plenty of bedrooms and a large kitchen and family room made meals and games together easy. Kitchen was well stocked and the hosts were accommodating. Highly recommend.
Perfect for our family of 6 adults and 5 children ages 3-9 ears old. House was clean, great location on lake, very comfortable beds. Stocked with great lake toys! Fun things to do within an hour driving distance.
The home was perfect for our family! The hosts had everything we needed and it was very clean. The view was gorgeous, we were able to enjoy the lake. Our family was in 100% agreement … we’ll be back!!
Our group of friends thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at this beautiful lake home. The entire process was made very easy by the host. A great place for a group of friends or family to enjoy each other and the lake. We would definitely stay here again!
My family and I had a wonderful time at this on the lake get away. The place was spacious enough to fit our large group and had great amenities to accommodate our needs. Definitely recommend the hosts were awesome!!!

From the owner: "Wonderful! We are so glad your family enjoyed the stay at the cottage! Thank you for being such wonderful guests and we look forward to hosting you again next summer!"
This property is a great destination for a lake getaway! We were in the area for my son’s wedding. And although our schedule was pretty busy. We enjoyed being able to unwind by the lake with a beautiful fire. Definitely would like to stay again. When be we have more time!
House is spacious and clean, with large kitchen, nice lower level patio and a very nice upper deck with beautiful views. We really enjoyed the lake. Rented a pontoon boat and cruised around lake a bunch of times and anchored at the sand bar for afternoon relaxation on the lake. Shallow but clean lake, with a considerable amount of nature preserve as shoreline. Great stay!
Gorgeous view from porch! This place had all and more for my family and friends to visit for a quick weekend while in area for a football game. Fishing from the dock and space for larger group was perfect for us. We all came in from VA, OH, and IN for a fun Sept weekend! Thank you!!
