We enjoyed the beautiful wrap around porch.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
This cute cottage was perfect for our Ren Faire girls weekend. It was cozy without feeling crowded and was close to everything we wanted. We had an amazing time.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Great house. Close to the ice cream store, breakfast place, lake and across the street from the play ground. Beds were comfortable and it was furnished with everything you would need. This does not pertain to the listing but if you google restaurants nearby it will tell you timbers is a 4 minute walk but they must has moved because its a mile more from that point so you may not want to walk. Owner was very responsive and communicated in a timely manner. We would definitely rent again.

Property had almost* everything we expected (less a crockpot). The front porch was a highlight. Great location - with a park across the street, food within walking distance & almost a straight shot to the Renaissance Faire. We also took a nearby hike.
