A well stocked lovely place to stay. The weather one morning was very cool, and it created a fog over the the still glassy waters of the lake. So cozy to seat, watch and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Another great stay!!

This is our 3rd year in a row staying at Debbie’s cottage, and it was wonderful. We love having our boat docked for a week of tubing, water skiing, fishing, swimming and fishing. We are already booked for next year!

This place was spotless. Newly rebuilt I would guess. So well stocked that I cannot even imagine something that was not there. We came in the Fall so it was very quiet. The host was fantastic and offered to let us come in early. When we got a flat tire from in town on our last morning she offered to let us stay inside all day as we waited for AAA. She could not have been more accommodating. We would easily stay here again.

Fall Getaway

Overall great trip with my wife and daughter. Nice little cottage along the lake. Place is small, but we knew that going into it when we reserved. Everything worked out great. She even brought in an outdoor gas firepit for us!!

Great place for a little get away! Right on the water just like they said! Enjoyed a lot

The host was great and replied quickly for any thing we needed, got in the house and immediately were amazed by the view, went on the canoe in the lake which was absolutely beautiful. And nothing beats waking up in the morning and having coffee with this view. 5/5 all across the board!

Lake cottage

Clean and nice cottage on Highland Lake. We had a good time here but it should be noted that space is very limited, there’s no washing/drying machine or dishwasher and wifi was weak (we had trouble with Zoom and streaming).

HI Sean, Your feedback is very important to us and much appreciated. In the description it does state what appliances are included and, as much as it would be nice, our little cottage does not have a washer/dryer or dishwasher. We have never had any issues with the WiFi being slow but will definitely call the cable company to investigate! Thank you again for your feedback.

Awesome week at the cottage!

This was our family’s second year staying at the cottage, and it was another fun week! We bring our own boat, so it was great to have it docked there all week to fish, water ski, go tubing, and going on evening rides around the lake. We love the cottage, and it has everything we need for our small family.
