Beautiful property for a family trip! Ample beach toys and firewood were provided for use and Anne was in communication with us the entirety of the trip making sure we were well taken care of. We definitely will be back!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled you and your family enjoyed the weekend, from the firepit to the kayaks. I’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
This was the perfect stay for a chill family weekend! You have everything you need for a good time. It’s small but we spent most of our time outside so it didn’t matter. We would definitely stay here again!
Enjoyed a lovely stay. More than spacious enough for a couple or small family. Beautiful views of the lake. Kitchen was adequately equipped for most tasks. Suggest a baking pan and vegetable peeler would helpful additions.

This lovely little cottage was perfect for my daughter, mom, and I on our girl’s weekend. Temps dipped into the 40s but the space heaters kept us cozy. Kitchen had the basics plus a little extra (foil & coffee) which was appreciated. Good firewood and friendly neighbors. Would stay here again!
We loved our vacation at the Splash Inn! Check in is smooth & easy. The cottage is wonderful with a great view of the lake. We had a good time using the paddle boat, kayak & paddle board. Plenty of life jackets available as well! We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Anne is the best!
Our stay at the splash inn was one of our best vacations yet. The beach was very nice and well maintained, the water was clean and warm. We had a great time just swimming, fishing, and enjoying the paddle boat and kayaks. The lake and sand are perfect for little kids to enjoy time in the water.Very nice and quiet lake community with very friendly neighbors. Can't wait to stay here again.

Kathy was a wonderful guest and great and communicator. They left the place in great condition! Highly recommend to any host. We'd love to have them come again.
Communicating with the owners was easy and quick from start to finish. The house was clean and had just enough space for our family of 4. The sandy beach was absolutely amazing and kept us entertained all day! We would definitely stay here again.
