Our stay at the red cottage

This cottage was very clean and comfortable for a restful stay. The lake view was amazing, especially the sunsets. The kayaking around the lake was excellent.

Clean and cozy

We stayed at the Cottage during the winter so I cannot say much about the lake but even in the winter, the lake view was amazing in the mornings while drinking my coffee! The cottage has a huge sliding glass door that over looks the lake so you can see everything right from the living room. The cleanliness and organization surpassed my expectations and the pictures do not do this place justice.The owner was also great with communication. She checked in with us to see if we needed anything but also let us enjoy our time without bothering us. I would definitely return to the Red Cottage again!

A Hidden Gem

We loved staying at this cottage and immediately felt comfortable and at home. Upon entering we were greeted with an uninhibited view of the lake, which we enjoyed while sitting on the spacious deck. Since traveling for the previous 6 nights, we decided to prepare several of our meals here. The kitchen is very well stocked and even has 2 types of coffee makers since some may want to make a pot of coffee or just a single cup. A nice touch is the outdoor seating and grill set up just off the kitchen. You can comfortably sit out there and enjoy the outdoors while eating or playing games. There was 3 of us and we had plenty of space for a lovely respite.

Wonderful!

The lakefront cabin was even better than described in the listing. It’s only 20 steps to the lake from the deck and the view is spectacular! It was very quiet the week we stayed and so peaceful. The cabin is extremely clean and the kitchen very well stocked with items needed for cooking. The cabin is nicely furnished and the beds are comfortable. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

Weekend get away

The red cottage is a wonderful place right on the lake. It was very clean and well stocked with anything you’d need. The sunset was beautiful. I would recommend the red cottage to anyone looking for a nice affordable place to stay on a lake.

If you always wished you could live on the lake (but it’s not happening in this lifetime) this is your place!! Even with an all vacation rainy forecast, sunset cottage managed to pull off a beautiful sunset to cap our lake living experience!

Beautiful View and Good Fishing

The property was wonderful. We were extremely offended that the owner came to the house unannounced twice once with someone giving her an estimate for something. The kitchen faucet was extremely loose and the supply lines in the kitchen were switched hot was cold and cold was hot. That is a simple task that my wife could complete within 5 minutes. The sliding doors needs graphite. That is another simple task. There is a true ANT infestation in the kitchen area. My wife spent hours battling the tiny grease ants from the kitchen. Cathy had put several aunt traps in the kitchen. They were aunt traps that attract ants. They were recommended by the same neighbor that she had watching us. Yes, watching her renters, those were her words. Not mine. We turned away the contractors that came to secure the siding. Overall we enjoyed our anniversary getaway. Thank you!

Great Location for a Relaxing Getaway

We arrived to an impeccably clean cottage. The sunsets were incredible. The location was near the boat launch, which helped navigate to/from the dock with the boat. The hosts were responsive and helpful. Recommend this property, two nights were not enough!

Great experience!

We were there for only a couple of days as we were attending a family event nearby. We wished we had tacked on a couple more days to enjoy this home and the lake! Very clean, very well managed. Would stay there again!

Beautiful sunsets

The lake view is wondeful. There are swans and ducks on the lake that swim by at sunset making that time of evening particularly lovely. The kitchen, dining and living room are open concept and open onto the back deck, which makes the space feel roomy.

Great stay!

The cabin was very clean and perfectly furnished and stocked. The color makes it very easy to spot from the water which is a benefit both for those who know the chain of lakes and those who are unfamiliar. The owner checked in on us by text to be sure we were all set, which was awesome, but we needed nothing and had no issues. I would not hesitate to book this again. Thank you!
