About this property

Great family cottage on quiet Hess Lake

Beautiful outdoor living spaces on quiet all sports lake. Great family space! Shallow water for kids to swim, a dock to park your boat and room to sleep up 10!

Three levels provide great space to spread out.

Main level features large bathroom and open living kitchen, dinning and living room with pull out couch. Double sliders open to a large well appointed deck with eating and sitting area.

Spiral staircase leads upstairs to a great sleeping loft with two double beds and one queen.

Another spiral staircase leads to the walk out lower lever with an additional full bath, bedroom with double bed, washer, dryer and wet bar. Walk out to additional outdoor living space.

Lake is just a few steps down. Nice grassy sitting area with firepit and hammock overlooks dock and shallow water for playing. Great for fishing, kayaking, swimming or boating.

Best for children a little older
We stayed here with 4 adults, 6 year old, 2 year old and 3 month. It has a great outdoor space and shallow water by the dock for easy wading. It isn’t anything fancy, though it is comfy and meets the needs you could possibly have on a lake vacation. The place was overall clean but there were a few locations in the kitchen and another area that were not and I needed to clean them. For children the spiral stairs are steep, the vertical bars are larger than a child’s head and can easily fit an entire child through them. The beds are comfy and there is plenty of blankets and pillows if needed. The top loft area (room with the three beds) didn’t seem to benefit from the AC and got very hot during the day so the three stand up fans are a must to use, but if the nights are cooler it cools off quickly. We would stay again 😊

Boating
We loved having coffee on the deck overlooking the lake. Had a great time on the lake and really enjoyed the sandbar. We are planning to come back next year

Communication.
Communication directly with the property owner would have been much better. The process of logging into the VRBO site and communicating through another party is not ideal.

Great little cottage
We had a great time here with our family. The place was very clean, well decorated, and had everything we needed. Beautiful views from the deck. Close to the water which was nice. The Lake is all about water sports (not great for fishing). Definitely glad we brought our boat! The stairs are a little dicey if you have little ones or elderly, but it was fine for us. The owner was responsive amd helpful. We would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Diane North

Host profile image
Our family loves the outdoors, especially water! Unfortunately we are not able to enjoy our cottage all the time, so our lose is your benefit! You get to use this wonderful lake front property while we are otherwise occupied.

Why they chose this property

Relatively quiet all sports lake with an up-north feel. Close enough for great day trips and shopping but far enough to feel away.
