Perfect for Family Time!
Instead of staying at hotel, we opted to stay a VRBO. The Cousin's Cottage was perfect for our family. We could still participate in the Family Weekend HOCO events at Olivet but then spend our evenings together, around a table, playing games and relaxing, grilling out. We took advantage of a nice morning, sitting by the lake drinking our coffee. It was very enjoyable. There were plenty of beds for all our family members and we all got a good nights sleep!

Kayaking Vacation
This charming little cottage on the lake makes a great home base for all the wonderful activities and towns around Manteno. It is also a great place to hang out with great fishing and a lovely fire pit with a beautiful view of the lake. This is our 3rd summer staying here and it always feels like home thanks to Rondy and Annette!

About the host

Hosted by Annette LaMore

Host profile image
We have lived in Manteno all of our lives. Annette grew up on Lakeview Drive and knows the area and the lake very well. She spent her summers as a lifeguard when she was in high school. Rondy worked at his dad's gas station on Main Street. in fact, Rondy and Annette met at the gas station when she was 16 and he was 19. She pulled in to the pump to get gas for the first time after getting her driver's license. Rondy was working that day! There was an instant attraction between them. They broke up with the people they were going with and started dating. The rest is history!

Why they chose this property

Cousins Cottage is named for Annette's cousins who also lived on the lake at 71 W 5th. The cousins used to play in the backyard together. When their family moved to the other side of town the house was sold. Forty years later, when the house went up for sale, Rondy and Annette decided to purchase it and have been renting it out since.

What makes this property unique

Fishing is fun on Lake Manteno. Paddleboats are even more fun! You will enjoy the beauty of nature and all the wildllife you'll see. We have ducks, geese, turtles, frogs, lots of fish, many different kinds of birds including heron and hawks. Rabbits and squirrels love it here too!
