This fit the bill for an unplanned birthday overnight. Everything went smoothly and was as described. We regret our stay was too short to enjoy some of the amenities but we hope to return.

Enjoyed Our Stay!
We enjoyed our cabin. Only a couple of concerns: the air conditioner was old and never stopped running (it didn’t interfere with out sleeping) and the shower was more of a mist instead of a spray. My wife was afraid to wash her hair. She was concerned about being able to wash out the soap. However, we would consider staying there again if we were in the area.

Cozy Cottage on the Lake
We loved being right on the lake and taking the boats out this morning was a highlight.
Though smaller than we expected, this was rustic stay on a beautiful lake.

I loved these cottages. It felt like a little community right on the lake. Everyone was friendly, staff and other guests included, and the proprietor Nancy even gave us a customized mug for our stay. The lake is serene and is great for boating and swimming. They have a lot of kayaks and water toys for your use.
The cottage itself was cozy; we loved having the front porch to relax on and watch the sun over the water. It comes with a pretty complete kitchenette that we would have utilized more if we were spending more time in the cottage.
The bed was pretty uncomfortable, it was too firm and our muscles definitely hurt after a few nights on it. We also wish there had been more hooks/shelves to put things like wet towels and bathing suits.
We would definitely return!

I didnt need to bring a thing except clothes and food. Cottages are clean and well equipped and remind me of something my grandparents might have stayed at which I liked. The cottage was literally 3 yards to the lake. I had fun kayaking in the kayaks they had provided. Nancy and Lee are great hosts, and I really enjoyed my vacation.

The owners were accommodating. The place was clean and the bed was comfortable. There are good places to eat nearby. There is also a grocery store, not too far away. They have nice gas grills at each cottage and screened in porches. But...the salmon cottage was just too small for the two of us. The cottage was leaning toward the lake and sits just off a busy highway. It is a one room bed, and kitchenette with a dorm type refrigerator. The "beach" area was a small area in front of another cabin. The kayaks and paddle boat left a lot to be desired, but they are free to use. There may have been better ones already in use? I can see where

My boyfriend and I went up with our dog, the cottages were truly pet friendly, the cottages were clean and comfortable!! We ended up having the best time while we were there and plan to book again next year!
Clean rustic cabin. Simple kitchen with basic items. Internet with Netflix. Each cabin had individual gas BBQ as well as fire ring. Sandy beach for young free use of Kayaks. Owner was on site and quick to check on guests. Price per week for reasonable. Not anything I would complain
Right on the lake. Very small but functional beach. Somewhat near a main road, so you get traffic noise during certain hours. Nothing that impacts sleeping etc.
Perfect place to take kids. Children were up at the crack of dawn to take out kayaks and paddle boats. They went fishing all day long and had a blast.
Very clean accommodations
One of the twin beds was a little uncomfortable.
Screened in porch, fire pit, and BBQ grill
This is a place family memories are made
Will return
