The cottage was well equipped and we had plenty of space for the 6 of us. We spent most of our time on the spacious deck or down by the water on the dock or in the boat. We really enjoyed being able to swim or dive from the dock and do some fishing.Our Host was always quick to respond to any questions.

Another fantastic week at Burris Camp

Our second stay at this cottage was just as good as the first. We love everything about this place. The owners take very good care of it, and it is well equipped with everything you could need for a cottage week. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic time at the cottage. Worked perfectly for three families. Was a little disappointed that there was no beach, but this whole lake is rocky shoreline. Also notified a week before rental that bonfires were not permitted and there was no A/C or TV. Turned out we didn't need A/C and didn't miss TV. Cottage has a great deck and is always cool inside, nice on hot days. Great dock and swimming area. Would def go again.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at our family cottage. I will recheck our cottage description as I believe it mentions that we do not have AC or TV provided. The inability to have a fire has been disappointing for us also. The Charleston Lake pass we provide however enables families to attend their evening programs (which may included a camp fire) as well as use the beach they have there.

Relaxing vacation spot!

I rented this property for a week-long vacation with my children and grandchildren. It was absolutely perfect! The swimming and fishing from the deck was amazing and the house had everything we needed. The floor plan is perfect for a group, with each of two bedrooms sharing a bathroom. Cozy but not crowded!

Awesome Place to stay

This cottage on the lake was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the swimming and kayaking in the lake and even on a couple of rainy days, we enjoyed the coziness of the cottage. We were able to purchase groceries and gas close by which was a plus. The instructions and checklist provided for our stay and checkout was very helpful and the owners were quick to respond to questions I had texted to them. We had a wonderful stay and I would recommend it to others for cost and its beauty.

Fantastic summer holiday!

We loved our time at this cottage. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is the most well equipped kitchen I've ever seen! The owners are responsive to any questions. The Charleston Lake park pass is great - we used to to do activities with our kids. We loved our time on Charleston Lake!

Can we come back!

Before we even had left the kids were begging to come back - great size - worked really well for six adults and three children. The cottage has everything - deck big enough we played spike ball on it and the swimming off the dock was fantastic - water lovely and clear.

Cozy cottage

We had a great time at this cottage. The place was well taken care of and full of supplies. The fishing was excellent. The only down side to this property it the tight driveway. Its very hard to maneuver a boat arount the stone roads leading to the cottage and there is no place to park your boat.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay at our cottage. Although there is a small area at the top of the driveway to park a boat, getting it into that position is a challenge with the winding and narrow roads.

We have been coming to this cottage for multiple years. Love the cottage, swimming, fishing and relaxation immensely. The cottage is completely equipped with all your needs. No TV is a super plus to truly enjoy your family and peacefulness.

Wonderful

The cottage was excellent accomodation for our extended family vacation, and plenty big for rainy days. Very private and a beautiful setting. We made almost daily use of the park pass provided for enjoying a beach, fantastic hiking and kayaking. Much appreciated as boat traffic in front of cottage made swimming unappealing. You provided everything guests could possibly want!

We had a lovely stay on beautiful Charleston Lake! Swimming, kayaking, boating, relaxing on the deck and dock. All the beds were very comfortable, with nice bedding. Plenty of towels available. Nice comfy furniture in the living room. Only issue we had was the wifi dropped very frequently. We weren't trying to watch anything, so not the end of the world, but it would be difficult to work from here. Lots of stairs if that's an issue for anyone. Very responsive owners who have a wonderful spot on the lake!

Perfect 2 weeks stay

We stayed in the house for 2 weeks with 5 adults and a toddler and the place was perfect. Plenty of space, great location on the lake and close to the park, and well kitted with ample kook/kitchenware to easily host 5 additional people for dinner. The wifi worked really well connecting multiple devices and even managed to perform some ad-hoc work.

Our family vacation in paradise

Great property with everything and more to offer. Never seen a cottage so well equipped. Enjoyed it's hominess and the interesting pictures. Our family enjoyed the many games, books, the deck and water. Mattresses so comfortable too. The only downfall was the stairs, front and back of the cottage. That being said, no one tripped and fell. Altogether, a remarkable property for an awesome family vacation.

Relaxing vacation

We had such a relaxing vacation! The cottage was comfortable and we enjoyed reading and puzzles in the comfy living room, family meals indoors and out, and lots of time on the dock and in/on the water. The cottage is extremely well equipped, especially the kitchen. Beds were very comfortable. Fans and a beautifully treed lot kept us cool on the few hot nights. The lake water is gorgeous for swimming and we saw lots of wildlife and caught plenty of fish. Hosts are so helpful, kind and communicative. Thank you Pamela and Rose!

Charleston Lake Vacation

Beautiful, well equipped with everything needed for your stay. The perfect getaway with great swimming from the dock, fishing on the lake or just relaxing on the shady deck. Will definitely return as long as we’re accepted. Accommodated a family of 6 and two well trained pets with no issues whatsoever. The only note I would post is the amount of steps to the cottage unloading and loading for elderly or disabled

Peaceful family getaway

My family of six had a wonderful stay at the property. The configuration of rooms and beds was ideal for the group (everyone got their own bed/room!) and the accommodation was simple but appropriate for the location. For a getaway with access to all the water entertainment we could ask for it was ideal. The dock and the canoe were particular hits! Thanks for a wonderful break!

Beautiful vacation spot

The cottage was fully equipped, clean and private if you want to get away from it all. I would highly recommend the cottage, lake and location. WiFi worked better than mine at home which allowed my son to connect and take care,of a very important work project. The only thing I would mention ( which is not a negative but a heads up ) is unloading and loading there is a grade of steps or path to carry down and back up from the cottage. It also sits a bit higher than the lake with a few steps to access the lake. Again, not a,negative just advise for,the elderly or physically handicapped. I would give this rental a 5 out of 5 rating. Fishing was excellent as well as swimming from the dock. Lastly, please don’t take my return week in 2019. Lol
