Great weekend!

Overall the stay was great. The sleeping arrangements are a little weird as the double futon is in the bedroom and the trundle beds are in the living room, but we made it work.

Weekend Getaway

My husband and I came out for a little weekend getaway. The place was just what we needed. Quiet, clean, and with lovely views of the lake. The lake is very shallow, so if bringing a boat, be sure to do your research on the lake beforehand.

Quiet lake house for short getaway

We booked this place for a short weekend trip between busy summer activities. It’s in a quiet location right on Cedar Lake. The kitchen and carpet could use a little updating, but it was clean and has everything needed for a short stay. We spent most of the time sitting on the dock and screened in porch. We really enjoyed our stay!

Nice place to stay for a visit to Nashua.

Cosy and clean place to stay while visiting Nashua. The weather didn’t cooperate, but the house has a good view of the lake and is close to a paved trail for walking, exploring or biking with little kids.

Perfect relaxing getaway.

This is the perfect place for a weekend trip. Enjoying meals from the screened in porch over looking the lake was wonderful. Relaxing in the hot tub looking up at the stars. Sitting by the fire at night or watching movies on the very comfortable sectional. Even caught some catfish right from the backyard. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and the host was very helpful and answered any questions we had very quickly.

What a lovely place to come to and relax after dropping our son off at Coe College. The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect stay: cozy, clean home, kitchen packed with all the things one needs for cooking, comfortable bed, incredible views of the lake-THE SUNSET! We would definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Kipp

My parents bought the tiny house and transformed it to the place of their dreams. We boated, fished and loved every minute of each others company. I want all my guests to have times like that with the ones they love.

Why they chose this property

My Dad trusted me to keep his project alive and make sure our family continues the legacy of hard work and great fun.

What makes this property unique

The hot tub is small enough that it is easily filled with clean water after each visit. This limits excess chemical usage in trying to 'keep' the same water.
