About this property

Perfect lake front cottage! Now with stairs to the water!

Nestled on a private mountain top overlooking Pickwick lake. This cottage was recently completely remodeled and offers the most relaxing stay. This property has beautiful lake views and its secluded spot on the lake, right across from bear creek, will be the perfect lake getaway for a couple or a small family. We have just added stairs down to the water! We also added a dock and a gazebo with amazing views.
There are two public boat ramps conveniently located 5 minutes ( less than a mile ) from property.

This was the cutest little cottage with fantastic views . It was also very peaceful & quiet if you are looking to just relax. We had a wonderful time . The only thing I might add for information only is to take all your groceries, as there is not a store close by . Also if you are elderly or have mobility issues and want to fish the steps down to the water are a challenge. The deck & stairs are beautifully done with several places to rest , but still a challenge for some , but the view is beautiful without going down to the water as well . Thank you for a nice , relaxing weekend.

This cabin was an amazing escape! Beautiful sunsets in the morning and refreshing views sitting by the water. The space was perfect for a short get away. I’d recommend bringing all the food you want to cook as stores are not close and you’ll want to soak up all the time by the water and by a cozy fire! The hosts responded quickly to all questions and the cabin had everything we needed. Will definitely be returning to stay again in the future!
