Excellent stay. The host was very responsive, allowing for late check out and immediately in touch to provide an additional umbrella for shade. Warm lake, not too busy in terms of boats. Spectacular garden and fire pit area. Would highly recommend.

Our group of 8 really enjoyed our week long stay. The cottage is very well equipped. Kitchen has high quality appliances and flatware. Portage Road can be a bit noisy and the stairs in the cottage are a bit steep so a challenge for older folks.

Cottage and location are amazing, we had 7 people stay and had plenty of room. The dock extends out so its great for swimming and everyone enjoyed the water toys that were included. Its nice and close to Huntsville and other small towns that offer plenty to do on a rainy day. The bay is super quiet with very little boat traffic so evening canoe and fishing excursions were very peaceful. We will plan on coming back in the future.

Beautiful property

The view was spectacular, however the beds and couches could be upgraded to something a little more comfortable. There were many ants in the house. So much space to relax and plenty of seating. Very peaceful area.

Great house in an excellent location

This is a very comfortable and nicely designed house in a beautiful location- right on the lake. Great area to walk around and close to Hidden Valley and Huntsville and Algonquin. We would recommend the house and hope to return.

Wonderful stay!

Really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage! We were a family of 8 plus our dogs and the cottage had more than enough space for all of us! It’s a very spacious cottage with comfy beds and big rooms! So many things to do on the water (paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming). A gorgeous firepit where we ended each night! The kitchen had everything we needed to make each meal. We spent 4 days there and wished we had stayed for longer. Plus it’s a short drive to local stores or Huntsville if you need anything. Would definitely book this place again

The dock and view were absolutely perfect — we loved having the kayaks and paddle boards right there. The kids had a blast paddling over to the public dock for their daily lake-jumping sessions. Most evenings we ate dinner out on the deck, soaking in the view. There were so many thoughtful touches that made our stay extra comfortable, from the ice machine to the choice of coffee makers. Indy was incredibly responsive and made everything easy. A experience all around!
