Great little place. Will rent again. Wish I had a boat, but I caught plenty of fish off the pier. House has everything you could possibly need to have a great stay! Beds were comfy and there was plenty of room for the three of our party. Thank you Barbara.

We very much enjoyed our family vacation on Gun Lake. Cottage was very clean, well stocked and accurate as listed. We especially enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks provided as well. Would definitely return!

Serenity on the lake

We had a wonderful time! The house was comfortable, beautifully decorated and well kept, and and the size and layout worked well for us (two adults and teen boy). The yard and deck were a nice place to hang out, and we had a great time on the lake too. The owner was very friendly, helpful, and responsive to our questions and (minor) issues. We would definitely stay here again!

Alyssa and her family were excellent guests. They left the house spotless and were very understanding while a few glitches were taken care of. I would definitely host them again.

Absolutely Welcoming!

We had a wonderful time! We utilized all the amenities! No time to be bored! We did kayaking, and paddle boards. My nephews and I enjoyed playing bags and some type of ladder game! We played basketball and pickleball nearby. The common areas are awesome. Ping pong was a blast. We had a family competition. Just perfect for 6 or 7 guests.
