Large Family Big Barbee Lake Cottage
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Big Barbee Lake
I grew up on this lake. My grandparents owened this cottage from 1958 to the late 70's. I was so happy to get this cottage back into the family 9 years ago. My grandparents owened 27 cottages at one time and rented them weekly. I learned alot from them and hope your stay will be comfortable and a relaxing vacation.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The ski show in Warsaw is awesome! It is free to view and is it so good! Worth watching and is quality entertainment.

We had the best time at the lakes. Kathy was very helpful in answering our questions and made suggestions to us as to where to go and what to do. Her cottage was clean and it was our "home away from home." We got to participate in the Pirate's Parade, which was a blast! We are hoping to come back next year to be in the Pirate's Parade again!

I have been coming up to these lakes for the past 12 years and look forward to it every year. Kathy is great and very knowledgable. Her cottage is clean and well maintained. It is also just the right size for my family. We enjoy going out on the lake and doing some fishing. This is a very relaxful place to come to.

I had the best time at the lakes this summer! Kathy is so enjoyable and makes you feel right at home. The bunkhouse was great! It included everything....the only thing we needed was food. We grilled out at night, sat under the awning to read, and went down to the pier to take the pontoon out on the lake! It was a very relaxful vacation! We met new friends and can't wait to come back!
Owner response:Thank you so much for the review. I hope to see you and your family again this year.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the place. The amenities offered by Kathy went way beyond any we have had anywhere else. Kathy went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Being "off season" we had most of the place to ourselves & it was very quiet & relaxing. The only thing keeping this from getting an excellent rating is we did have some trouble with the boat motor & we wish we could have caught more fish. All in all it is a great place & we would definitely recommend it to others & would return here ourselves.
