Fishing enthusiasts will love the variety of species—pike, walleye, bass, and more. Step onto the 100' dock (available in the warmer months) to soak in the beauty of the lake, or take the kayaks out for a serene paddle along the shoreline. Come and relax, reset and find some peace in our busy lives!

We stayed for two days and it was the perfect family escape. The home was exactly as described, but the romantic scenery was even better in person! Having the entire place to ourselves was a major plus, and the kids absolutely lived in the heated pool and hot tub. It was great to find a spot that felt so cozy and private while keeping the kids entertained. We can't wait to book this Vrbo again!

This home was absolutely charming, beautifully maintained, very clean, and immediately welcoming from the moment we arrived. Even though we stayed during the colder month of March, the house felt warm, cozy, and inviting, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. One of the standout features of our stay was the stunning lake view, which added so much to the overall experience. Waking up to that peaceful scenery each day was truly a highlight and made our time there even more special.

This property has everything you need for a perfect stay. The small pool is the neatest thing. Great hot tub. Honestly the perfect little house to be used for a getaway. I think the best thing was how versatile both the property and hosts were. So many options for every type of stay and family. 3 bed types, great for couples or families, romantic, or kid friendly fun, lots of activities and events in the surrounding area, seating inside and outside, place for meals or enjoying a fire. The master suite “shed” is unbelievable when you walk inside. Safe and friendly neighborhood. Very quiet. The hosts are accommodating and even pet friendly. We will stay again!

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Sandy Cottage. The home was extremely well equipped with everything we needed, including kitchen essentials, extra towels, sheets, shampoo, and soap all thoughtfully provided. We loved the quiet setting and waking up to the sunrise over Lake Jordan while watching people ice fish. The private master suite just steps from the home was the perfect place to wind down, and the skylight windows made it so peaceful to look up and see the stars at night. Tim was a fantastic host, very responsive and helpful. The perfect spot for a quiet mental and physical reset. We would absolutely stay again and plan to!

Beautiful cottage with plenty of amenities for the whole family.

Beautiful cottage on the lake. Me and my girls had a nice time with the hot tub and Kayaks. Plenty of wood for the firepit. Had fun fishing and even seen a crawfish for the first time. Home was newly renovated and very clean. Beds were very comfortable. When assistance was needed owners of cottage were very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay a great experience.

Barry Nice

We stayed over the weekend for the Barry Roubaix bike race and a friend's 50th birthday. Overall, the property was great. Extremely clean and new. Beautiful views, comfortable beds in master and out building. Bunk beds were a little short, geared more towards younger children. The check-in process was easy, though some documents got lost in spam folders. Would suggest that some of the key information be printed in locations around the home. When we ran into some missing information, owners were quick to respond to texts all weekend, anytime of day.Would be happy to rent again.

Hey so grateful you guys stayed there! Hope you make it back again and thanks for the feedback about some of the documents going into the spam filter! That can sure be frustrating. I'll try to figure out a way that we can text someone to let them know that email is sent so that doesn't happen again. Thanks again
