Can't wait to return

We arrived to the home and did our walk thru. We met by one of the owners, who made certain we had everything we needed. After going out to the patio we knew we had the right place. The area was clean, the lake was clear and there was very easy access. An unfortunate storm came up but the family of the owners showed up made certain we had everything we need and cleaned up very quickly. The whole family cant wait to return.

Beautiful lake

Cottage was perfect for our stay. The lake is beautiful, great fishing. We loved our stay except for the row boat. It peeling paint terribly and would stick to our skin. Would have loved a fish cleaning station with water outside. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Super Place

The cottage is small but plenty of room for an extra blow up bed and we all fit nicely. The cottage isn't why we rented it, it was the outside dock, shade, beach?, and a non busy lake!! Owners so helpful and accommodating, we would definitely rebook this. Thank you!!

A beautiful lake cottage getaway!

We loved this peaceful and beautiful cabin on Lake Gilead. The deck and view is amazing! The owners were super friendly and helped with anything we needed. You can swim, fish, or take a small boat on the lake. We also enjoyed the fire chimenea. The cabin is rustic, not fancy, but has all the basic needs. We were very pleased with our stay!

Amazing quiet lake

The pictures do not do the property justice. The cottage is basic but has everything you need for a lake getaway. The lake was absolutely perfect. It was very quiet. Felt very safe swimming around & neighbors were very friendly. The deck was great & had lots of outdoor space.

Best cabin EVER!

We rented the cabin for a girls trip away, which we do twice a year. This cabin was by far the best one we’ve ever rented! The owners are amazing! The deck is huge and perfect for relaxing, we loved having the row boat to use and the place was super clean! We can’t wait to go back!!!!!!!!

Nice Cottage

This was our first family vacation and we had a great time. The grandkids loved swimming, fishing and jumping off the dock. Very cute place, well stocked, I would suggest bringing water shoes for the rocky waters.

Outstanding view -peaceful place

This place was perfect for me and my two children. The kids loved swimming and floating on their inner tubes and boogie boards. The deck to this property is fantastic. Watching the sun go down at night and playing board games on the deck. It also helped that the weather was near perfect all week. The owners of this property are great people. They even helped me with my car as I was having car troubles. They also seemed open minded and available to any suggestions or improvements that could be made to make their place as good as possible. Great place to spend with family or friends

Great place

The deck is awesome and provides a great place for eating, drinking, relaxing and anything else you could ask for. We caught well over 100 fish in 3 full days right off the dock. Really a fisherman's dream spot. All species of Bass, and Panfish, as well as Catfish and even a yellow perch. Fun times. We didn't spend much time indoors but it had more than enough space to comfortably sleep many more than what we had in our party. Everything was clean, and the air hockey table was a nice surprise. Would stay again, but certainly book during the week for a more peaceful lake experience.

The perfect getway from city

We had a great stay! As others reviewers stated, the cabin is pretty basic but what it misses in amenities it gets in location. It is very quiet and the lake is perfect! We went kayaking and swimming all day long! The kids had a blast! Highly recommend! Thanks Nate for a wonderful time!

Cousin Time is Bonding TIme

We had a wonderful time with our grandchildren at the site. It was just right for them to be cozy and we love watching them interact. They loved catching fish, swimming, taking walks, and gazing at the sunset. They are all asking to go back to the "lake house". We will!
