It was very nice, we all enjoyed ourselves. The dock was nice because it was wide at the end where we could fish easily. It was also very nice renting the pontoon boat. We really loved that.

We had an excellent weekend at Murphy Cottage! We have an annual weekend with our cousins and we love lakefront properties. The house was immaculate and very well maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals and we were delighted to have two refrigerators. The scenery was awesome and the hosts couldn’t have been better. They provided all the information necessary and helped with a small issue before we attended. We would definitely recommend this property!

Do not hesitate on this rental! We had a fantastic week at the Murphy Cottage! They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. We had 6 adults and 6 kids ages 10 and under. There was so much to do. The place is so clean, the beds are comfortable and there is so much space to unwind and relax. The lake is beautiful. We had so much fun swimming, fishing, boating, making smores, playing games and making memories to last a lifetime. Thank you so much to Lynn and Vic for sharing their little slice of Heaven with us We will be back!

Immaculately clean, family (pet) friendly lake house. Very quiet neighborhood but close (20 minutes) to town for shopping, restaurants, casino, etc. Hosts were very accommodating and great communication. Plenty of space for our group to hang out together. Very well appointed kitchen with 2 refrigerators which came in handy for Thanksgiving. Would highly recommend & will stay again when in the area.
