Perfect getaway! Clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced, with everything needed to have a great stay. Cottage is located right on the water and has a great fire pit and beautiful view from the hot tub.

Great place, nice kitchen, lake view, family loved the hot tub, ac unit made too much noise and jute box doesn’t work. Over a good place to stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
We had a wonderful peaceful stay. Kids and dog loved it. Deck felt very safe to let my kids enjoy the outdoor view without worrying they’d fall off, need close supervision on steps down to and on the dock. Kitchen had plenty of basics for preparing easy meals if desired, however no filtered water so definitely bring that; the tap is a bit sulfur-smelling and wouldn’t be great for large consumption. House was comfortable- comfy couches and beds and a nice big TV. We found the location very convenient for most things, about 15 minutes to SML state park and 15-20 minutes to most other things. We’ll definitely come back! The view is the best!!
