This has truly been the perfect home away from home. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and incredibly well appointed. It has everything you need to settle in and actually feel at home, rather than simply staying in a rental.The view of the lake is absolutely beautiful, and we especially loved how quiet and private the property feels. It has been such a peaceful place to come back to at the end of the day.We’ve had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this home to anyone visiting the area. Comfortable, peaceful, beautiful, and welcoming. We would happily stay here again.

Very spacious home, wonderful for a family group. Beds were comfortable! Many practical amenities, with everything being easily located. House was very easy to find, plenty of driveway parking, and perfect for a weekend after a Wildcat football win! Reasons we gave it 4/5… Though tasteful, we found there to be too many knick-nacks and decorations on surfaces(night stands, dressers, end tables, dining table)that were in the way. Also, as I am a former caretaker of a 17 bed weekend rental home, and a detail person,the cleaning could be better(bathroom sinks weren’t spotless, kitchen sink stoppers dirty, bathroom floor had a little dirt, many wax warmers need cleaned). Again, overall it was clean, I just notice the little things.All in all, this was very well-suited for our family, and very comfortable! Host Jan was very accommodating and accessible! Very reasonable price for all the space!

Relaxing and beautiful

This place was great- loved the relaxing deck in the mornings with coffee and wine in the evenings. Lots of nature and very quiet. The sunroom was fabulous. Location was easy to find with great access. Never turned on the tv or stereo- just lots of great conversations and creativity.

Lovely home and beautiful lake view!

We had a wonderful time at the Cozy Cottage! It is hardly a cottage but a beautiful vacation home. Our stay in Manhattan is always great but staying at this property made the weekend all that much better. My married children and grandson were with us and we had so much space. The lake view, location to KSU football stadium, and Jan's lovely decor couldn't have been better. We will stay there as often as it's available for our Manhattan stay.

Weekend Getaway

Jan was a pleasure to work with, great communication! Wonderful home, beautiful location, everything we hoped it would be and more! Weather didn’t cooperate so we didn’t get to use the outdoor space much, hope to make it back and enjoy the deck/view/firepit/grill etc more next time. If you’re in the neighborhood I highly recommend you grab this gem, you won’t regret it!

Very welcoming, cozy, and inviting home. Lots of room for my visit with my 3 adult grandsons, lovely places to gather both inside and out, and good private spaces too. Beautiful lake view! Jan is a very responsive host. Our only regret is that we had work obligations on this trip. We plan to stay again when we have time to just hang out at the lake. Thanks Jan!

Family Weekend @ KSU

Easy drive to K-State campus. Quiet get away, close to the marina with pretty views off deck at sunrise & sunset. Like a comfortable visit to grandma's place, full of knicknacks from the owners' own story. Plenty of room on two floors. Nice upgrades to basement gathering space. Good communication.
