This was an excellent location toGet the extended family together! Plenty of room for everyone, the beds were comfortable and everything was extremely clean!
This was our second time staying at this house this year. We had so much fun the first time we had to come back. Everybody caught several bass and had a great family time.
Wonderful natural property boundaries. Very private! Lots of outdoor space with river and lake fishing. Close to Walmart and the cute town of West Branch
Fish Camp is a very casual place to stay that is great for us while visiting family in West Branch. Lots of fish decor to match the location. The bunk room is smaller than the photo shows. Fine for kids. Lots of seating outdoors and space for a family gathering. Beautiful views every day!
This place was great. It was very clean and comfortable. The different areas of the property are really neat. There is no beach area for swimming. There is a small area to step into the water but I would make sure to bring water shoes as it can get slimy in the lake.

Thanks for staying!
There is no beach area right there at fish camp, there is a less rocky spot you can wade in, but that's about it.
There are two vacant islands on the lake that have sandy/shallow areas that are good for swimming. They are pretty easy to get to on the kayaks or canoe.
Great views, fishing and amenities. Responsive host with fair pricing. Remote feel while close to shopping and entertainment. What mire could you ask for?

Thank you for staying!
I'm glad you got a chance to get out and see the area. Hope to see you again
We had a wonderful time at the cabin. Caught a lot of fish, had some amazing day trips, and had so much space for our family and dog. The shower on the main floor should have its own highlights on the listing, trust me when I say it's lovely!I would highly recommend staying here for the lovely cabin, but also the ability to go out the front to fish, kayak, paddleboard, swim or the back to catch an array of fish in the dam.

Thank you Jessica,
I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves and hope to see you again!
The house was very conveniently located to downtown West Branch, and even nicer than the listing would lead you to believe. The house was beautiful and clean, and we enjoyed the kayaks and canoe. The lake also holds some very large fish. The owner left a list of recommended restaurants and attractions close by which was much appreciated.

Thanks Brian,
Special thanks to my cleaning crew! They have done a terrific job keeping up. It's been a busy summer!
Hope to see you again!
The property was clean, well maintained and as advertised. The area is quiet with little traffic and the town of West Branch is very quaint! We enjoyed the kayaks and canoe very much! Fishing was slow at first but we switched the bait up and caught carp, perch, rock bass and blue gill, sadly no trout :( but it was still fun. The owner was quick to respond to questions before and during our stay. We wouldn't hesitate to book this property again!

Thank you for staying Tiffany. Better luck next time on the trout!
This charming cottage offers a prime location on a smaller, all-sports lake with a private, intimate feel — a rare combination. Situated right next to the lake's dam, the gentle waterfall sounds enhance the relaxing experience of sitting lakeside and soaking in the beautiful views.The cottage is thoughtfully stocked with everything you need for daily living and is well-maintained throughout. Guests can enjoy late-night evenings by the water on the lower level, while kids love the fantastic game room featuring a bar, pool table, foosball, and more.

Thanks Kurt,
We love to have you and your family stay at fish camp! you guys are welcome anytime, and you take some great pictures!
Over all had good time very relaxing, House is very nice and nice game room in basement. The terrain along bank for fishing is uneven and rocky. If you have a bad back like mine make sure you have back brace. A lot of geegse visit this property watch where you step, I would suggest a little peer be installed for fishing and launching of canoe. Enjoy

Hello Ray,
Sorry about the shoreline (and the geese). Since that part of the river is designated as "natural" owners can not make ANY improvements or changes to the shoreline. It's great for fishing, but can be tough for walking. There are several hundred feet of shoreline along the lake that is pretty flat and easy to access.

It's quite a charming and unique cottage. We enjoyed all of the fishing bling. We were a bit early for fishing, but managed to lose a few lures below the dam. A nice weekend getaway to a comfy cottage. We'll book again. Thanks.
The house is charming and a great location - the lake is beautiful and close to town. The host was great with communication. We will definitely book again!
Great place to fish and relax. The host was very responsive and even shared fishing secrets and spots with us. He was super nice and checked in with us. We go on lots of fishing trips and this has become one of my favorite ones. We booked again for next year already. Lots of big fish in the spillway lost so many because we didn’t have leaders on. There is a cool sporting store about 15 mins away called Deans. They have live bait, shiners, minnows and fat worms owners are super nice. They have wood and tackle too. They have kayaks and a canoe with the property we did not use them this time but plan to hopefully next time. It was also very nice to be able to bring our fur baby he loves to fish too. The house was very spacious and plenty of room for two couples. It has a rec room in the basement and we had fun hanging out there too. The upstairs bedroom is very spacious with a king bed and tv in the room. If you want your own space for a bit it’s perfect. It was vey peaceful even though it is in a neighborhood. Easy rules to follow and we absolutely loved this place. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you Allen for being a great host and for sharing your beautiful peace of Heaven with others.

Thank you for staying and I'm glad you got to get some fishing in. As you probably noticed by all the "bite offs", this time of year is great for pike and bass, while the trout tend to bite better in the spring and fall. Either way, there is always something biting!
