Lakeside Iola Hideaway: Stunning Nature Views

We're so glad the cottage felt comfortable and had everything you needed, even with a busy weekend out exploring. Thank you for noticing the little touches like the wellness reminders and the eclectic artwork throughout the space, those details mean a lot to us. It's wonderful to know it made for a cozy home base, and we appreciate you taking the time to share this 5-star review.

We are delighted to hear that you found the cabin comfortable and clean during your stay. Goodahl Lake is a natural glacial lake, and local vegetation like lily pads can vary depending on the season, which sometimes presents a unique challenge for dock fishing in mid to late summer. To help beat the summer heat, we have equipped the home with portable A/C units and our local team is always available to ensure guests are as comfortable as possible. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and hope you had a relaxing getaway overall.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're so glad the space worked out well for your family and your dog, and that the walk down to the dock made it easy to launch your canoe. It sounds like you had a great time fishing for panfish and northern pike, and we love that the quiet, natural setting added to the experience. Knowing you found the home immaculate and one of the nicer properties you've stayed at means a lot to us. We're grateful you took the time to share your experience!

We're so glad this cabin gave you the peaceful, waterfront escape you were looking for. It's wonderful to hear the sounds of nature took center stage and that the A/C kept things comfortable through the evenings. We put a lot of thought into stocking the cabin with everything needed for a relaxing week in the woods, so it means a lot to know that came through. Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review.

Homeowner's Response: "Hi Joe, thank you for choosing our home to celebrate such a special occasion! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. However, we're a bit confused by the 3-star rating and would love to understand more about your experience. We did our best to make your anniversary memorable with a complimentary bottle of wine and homemade cookies, and we appreciate your cooperation regarding the pet fee.We hope that you had a pleasant stay overall, and we'd welcome any additional feedback to help us improve."

From the owner: ''Thanks for the kind review. Actually, it is less than 4 miles to Iola and (July's) Old Car Showgrounds.''
