Very cute small cottage. Owner was responsive to any and all concerns found during our 9 day stay. Having the pontoon available to use as part of the rental was awesome! St. Helen is a cute town and close by beach and playground/park was nice. We would recommend, especially if you enjoy boating and fishing.
The property and location were great! Things we loved: So clean! Comfortable beds, enclosed porch, boat, and nice decor. The owner Julie was very nice and very responsive. We had a great time!
Amazing cottage and hosts!! Every part of the process was great( they even brought over a propane tank at the last minute)!! The cottage is exactly as described and was in excellent condition. The back porch area was awesome to sit on and the canal is so nice and peaceful. We used the owners pontoon when we were there and it was great as well, perfect for a day on the lake!! Would definitely recommend!!
We totally enjoyed our stay at this property located on a peaceful canal. The cottage was extremely clean, well equipped and exactly as described. We enjoyed the pontoon, fishing and beautiful sunsets on Lake Saint Helen along with our 15 year old grandson. The host was amazing and went over and above to make our stay even more enjoyable. We made memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you
Beautiful home. Great design and decorations. Well appointed. Immaculately clean. Very welcoming and comfortable stay. Our host Julie was wonderful. Quickly responded to my inquiries. Promptly answered my questions. Appreciated working with her. We will definitely consider renting with her next year. Great experience.
We had such an amazing stay! From check-in all the way through our stay, communication with Julie was so great. If we had any questions she was so quick to respond. We had mentioned in an early conversation upon booking that we were traveling to the area to celebrate our anniversaries and enjoy some golf. Upon walking into the home, there was a bottle of champagne, chocolates and a sweet card left for us by the host! Such a sweet gesture and shows they pay attention to the details. The home had everything we needed and more! We have been doing our annual golf trip for years and this home was by far our best stay!!! We would highly recommend this home for anyone coming to the area and we will definitely return if we are in the area again. Thank you John and Julie for such great hospitality!!!
We had a really fun time at this cottage! Our boys (15 yrs old) as well as us adults had an amazing time fishing off the dock and taking the pontoon out for fishing in the big lake! Enjoying coffee in the morning and having a cocktail in the evening on the deck was peaceful and relaxing! Everything was super clean and had everything you would need (except spices...salt and pepper provided...but no other spices which is fine...but many homes do have additional spices...so just sharing that you should bring your own). She even had s'more material laid out for guests that we did not use because we were all too tired from fishing to make a bon fire! :) Owner was super responsive and very kind!We will definitely book again if we are in St Helen! Highly recommend to anyone looking for canal/lake life lodging!
