Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
Tom grew up in this neighborhood and has many fond memories. When we were first married, we spent a lot of time near Mill Creek raising our 3 sons and enjoying the beauty and fun Mill Creek Lake has to offer. We still enjoy returning to the area for relaxation and family time, and now creating many memories with our grandchildren. Tom is a carpenter and Theresa is an interior decorator and work closely together. After purchasing this property, they spent many hours creating a vacation home for others to enjoy.
Why the Owner Chose Marshall
The location of this vacation rental has great opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. With a view of Mill Creek Lake, it is a pleasure to just relax on the front porch or go for long walks along the Mill Creek Dam When not on the lake boating and swimming, we like to take a picnic to our boat dock and watch all the boats. There is just something sacred about sitting on the dock at sundown when the water has calmed to look like a large piece of glass! If we want to drop a line and fish awhile, it is only a short walk back to the cottage with our prize catch of the day.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
The cottage is within a short driving distance into town for shopping for supplies, go antiquing or visit the art gallery. There is an artist reception every third Saturday. If you like history you can drive 20 minutes to a small town nearby and visit the Lincoln School Museum. Right downtown Marshall, you can visit the newly restored Harlan Hall, a historical landmark. You could take in a movie in a nearby town, or visit some of the finest wineries in our local area. Mill Creek Park, only 3 miles away, has events nearly every weekend. There is a great little cafe in the park called the Fisherman's Table that serves up great cheeseburgers to enjoy while sitting under their pavilion at the picnic tables.
Or maybe you just prefer some quiet time to relax and read a good book. Your vacation with us is sure to be of great satisfaction.

Walking to the dock and seeing the little "fairy house", but most of all spending time with our family. The cottage was perfect for our family. Fond memories to treasure forever. Merry Christmas!

Relaxation and watching the wild life. We did scenic driving and enjoyed the beautiful colors of fall. This was a perfect place for a get-away. No need to bring anything! Loved that everything we needed was already here. Weather was perfect - the cottage perfect and hate to leave! I will definitely recommend your cottage - can't wait to return! Thanks!

The cottage was very nice. My nephews had the best time fishing! My old college friends were staying down the road, so it was perfect distance to walk to their cabin too. The weather was 100 degrees hot! But we had a really great time. Thank you!

Thank you for such an amazing place to stay. I would recommend this cottage to anyone. We are all looking forward to coming back to spend more time here. Next time, we will have to make it a longer stay. The mid 80 degree sunny weather was awesome. We fished, played soccer, enjoyed the campfire, and laughed our nights away. We didn't need anything. We had everything and stuff we didn't have this awesome place had it! Our favorite moment and special highlights were when the guys beat the girls in soccer! Every moment here had some type of special meaning.
