About this property

Affordable Charming Vintage Lake Cottage · Cozy & Welcoming

Please Read Before Booking**

This is a vintage lake cottage, not a modern or newly built home. It has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully styled, but it does show the character and quirks that come with age.

Guests may notice things like:
• uneven floors or surfaces
• creaky boards
• a unique, non-symmetrical layout
• older construction details that reflect the home’s history

These features are part of the cottage’s charm and are typical of homes from this era. If you’re looking for sleek finishes, perfect lines, or hotel-style accommodations, this may not be the best fit — and we want you to find a place you’ll truly enjoy.

If, however, you appreciate warmth, comfort, and a home that feels lived-in and welcoming, many guests find this cottage to be a peaceful and memorable retreat.

It's an older home, but exactly what we expected. Reminded us of Grandma's place. Plenty of room for 5 of us and dog. Loved the screened in and outside sitting area. Would definitely stay again.

This was our 3rd stay at this cozy lakefront home. It is comfortable and affordable. The neighbors are very friendly and the host is responsive and courteous. The home is pet friendly, which is always something we look for in a rental, as my mom travels with her small dog. The screened-in porch on the back is great, especially with all the biting insects from the lake (it's a wonderful place to sit during the rain!) I recommend this home for any family trip or a get-together with friends. There is room for everyone! Thank you, Amy, for another memorable family vacation.

Im really sorry you felt the home was not clean. Most all our guests have rated it high on cleanliness. As far as “Having a lot of issues”the only one you made me aware of was the tv. Guests After you did not have an issue so i believe that was user error. Regardless i hope you took in the scenery no matter what “piece” of the home you were in.

A very eclectic cabin that has had several additions over the years. If your not expecting a lot it has its charm, and for the price, not a bad place to get away. It is a bit away from everything but the owner gave us great info on local restaurants and such. It is and older home so some things are a bit dated, but nice to be near the lake and large yard and patio for entertaining.

About the host

Hosted by amy thomas

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for 26 years and we have two boys. My husband works as a manager and bi-vocational pastor. I am a stay at home Mom and a consultant for Gold Canyon candles.

Why they chose this property

My inlaws lived in South Coon for many years before my father in law passed away in 2009. We had to sell their home on five acres to move my mother in law closer to us. This home gave us an opportunity to get back in South 'Coon for a getaway ourselves and to hopefully provide for our boys futures.

What makes this property unique

beautiful water view with convenience at a affordable price
