Crappie Cottage on the Waterfront in Quiet Cove provides Flexible Family Retreat

Access to the location is NOT motorcycle friendly and 4WD or AWD at minimum is necessary to safely negotiate the access road in and out of the property. The roadway is steep with sharp turns, but maintained. The house and areas were clean and all questions or needs were addressed in a timely manner. Very much enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. We found multiple (4-6) light bulbs burnt out in track lighting and/or area lighting simply not working and landscaping could use some attention as well, but the home was fully functional and very nice. This location is perfect for a fishing trip or family lake excursion. Would very much consider returning to this VRBO!

My family (husband, 3 teenagers, and dog) and I thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at Crabbie Cottage in late August 2017. The cottage was extremely clean, bright, comfortable, and well-provisioned: there were ample towels, an emergency medical kit under the kitchen sink, and everything we could need for grilling. A looseleaf binder provided helpful information, such as operating instructions and restaurant recommendations. The owners responded to questions promptly (both when I e-mailed in advance or phoned once we were there) and did more than expected whenever a slight difficulty arose: e.g. Candy brought a suitable baking dish when I mentioned wanting to make a birthday cake and an extra electric fan in case we needed it. They were also very friendly! We spent most of our time hanging around inside or on the decks or taking advantage of the private dock, where we found a kayak and plenty of "toys" for playing with in the water. Our family would definitely hope to stay there again if vacationing in the area.

Everything was great! The location in a quiet cove was perfect for our family and we used the swim dock a lot. Everything we needed was in the house. The only problem was our dogs with the small ticks. We had to pick off a ton of them every night. A tick collar for your dog would be a good idea.

My husband and I, long with our 4 adult children thoroughly enjoyed our week spent at the Crappie Cottage. Being at the back of the cove and the amount of waterfront at our disposal, made it a perfect spot for swimming/floating on the lake. We also rented the optional annex, which gave us all plenty of space. Both the cottage and the annex were updated and tastefully and comfortably decorated. Jerry and Candy provided everything we needed other than food and clothing.....things we would have never expected from floats for the lake, to pain relievers in the vanity drawers. So thoughtful! They also were very responsive to any requests or contacts both before and during our stay. but gave us our space and privacy to fully enjoy our vacation.

Our family enjoyed the Crappie Cottage. The home was perfect for our 7 person group. The kids enjoyed fishing from the docks and playing at the "beach". We grilled out every night on the Weber grill. The dock was great for our rented boat as well. The location was perfect for swimming and accessing great coves for boating. The owners are very accommodating and responded very quickly to any question we had. We will consider returning.
