We really love the location of this cottage. The deck out back, the bonfire area and the sandy bottom in the lake are great. Great outdoor toys and outdoor kitchen. Inside has a nice kitchen, dining and living room spaces along with plenty of bedrooms for all. Host was great. We had a mix up on our arrival date he was very generous in making it up to us. Hoping we can stay again next summer.

Family wedding weekend

This was the perfect lake house for our family of 11 to enjoy our nieces wedding at Woodland Weddings ! The bedrooms accommodated all the guests, the kitchen and large dining table made for a perfect charcuterie brunch ! The patio on the lake has a gorgeous view and the sunrise over the lake was beautiful !

Lovely stay

We enjoyed our time in this pleasant lakefront home. It was clean and sunny, with lots of extra amenities. There was an issue with the gas being turned off, but this was resolved ASAP by the owner. Especially enjoyed the fire pit out back, and the neighborhood was nice for strolling around. Would return!

Great place for a bigger group

We had 10 adult family members here for a celebration with our cottage down the street that could not accommodate that many. It was great for all the options for seating, large tables indoors and out for meals. Grill and fire pit were great. Very clean. Owners very responsive. Would definitely use again or recommend for families large or small.

More spacious than it looks

Did a brothers hunting trip here, we really enjoyed the place. Had plenty of room to accommodate 10+ adults. The weather wasn't the best so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor amenities but they were available. The only gripe was the hvac was either too hot or too cold and never felt like it was steady temp in the house.

Nice property but not the best communication from the owner. 8 out of 10

I surprised my wife with this rental for her birthday. This property was actually owned for 25 years by my wife's family before they sold it in 2008. The cottage had some nice upgrades, like the kitchen and adding AC upstairs, since my in-laws owned it. It did retain much of the same charm including some furniture that my mother-in-law left, which I thought was pretty cool. However, the upstairs shower was the exact stall that we used to have and probably could use an upgrade. I'm pretty sure it's the same because the door would "stick" in the same way. Not a huge deal as the shower still did work. But there were 2 main issues in this trip. First, when we went to use the Keurig, we found that it was dirty and it looked as though the filter had not been changed in a very long time (if ever). Secondly, the listing said that a paddleboat was included but there was nothing in the lift. I reached out to the owner the same day for both of these issues. I also sent another message asking about renting the golf cart in the garage. The next day I got a response and was told the paddleboat was out for repair. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time as we were looking forward to using it. They did apologize for the Keurig coffee maker being dirty and said they needed to do a better job in the future. They never responded to the golf cart message. Since we didn't have the paddleboat, it would have been nice to have use of the golf cart for something more to do. Rating 8 of 10

We were looking for a special place to celebrate a big anniversary with our family - and we found it!! The house is beautiful and the property is perfect with a great deck, dock, fire pit and yard. Plenty of beds for everyone and lots of seating and tables inside. We made great memories for sure! The Hendricks were very helpful with anything we needed.

Perfect Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at your beautiful, spacious, & updated home. We loved that there were several seating areas to relax in & lots of windows to see the awesome views of the lake & watch the sunrise. The 5 upstair bedrooms were very accommodating for our group & the beds were very comfortable. The owners were friendly & very quick to reply to our messages. We didn't have any time to enjoy the outdoor amenities, but they are also a 5 star rating. I definitely recommend this vacation rental! Thanks Dave & Carolyn!
