Beautiful weekend getaway

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this cottage. We brought our small fishing boat and had no issue getting it in the water using the boat ramp; it was wonderful to be able to launch from the dock at sunrise. Caught cut-throat trout in the lake and even some crayfish in our trap near the dock :) The cottage was wonderful and everything was so well thought out. It rained on and off all weekend yet we had a great time enjoying the deck as there is a couch and fire table sheltered by an awning, the BBQ is sheltered and hot tub sheltered as well. There are many indoor and outdoor games to enjoy, and the cottage is just a cozy and comfortable spot to spend time. Would recommend to anyone, you will love it here!

Fantastic property

Lovely, quiet little cabin overlooking the lake. The place was spotless upon check in and the host’s had even left complimentary snacks/beverages out. They left comprehensive, easy to understand, instructions for everything and were quick to answer if needed.

Adorable cabin with breath taking view

What a lovely cottage on a gorgeous lake. Lisa was great to communicate with from booking, directions, check in and all the little details that go with it all. She made sure the cottage was clean, cozy and very stocked with everything you could think you'd need. There were a few extra lovely surprises too. The lake is gorgeous, the hot tub clean, fire pit relaxing. We even had a herd of elk visit us one evening. Overall it was a fantastic stay and we will be back!

Historical lakeside getaway.

Such a beautiful historical cottage that envelopes you with serenity as you walk through the door. Everything that you can think of has been provided, cozy comfort just oozes character. I loved being able to swim from the beach then soak in the hot tub.

Getaway Haven

There aren’t enough words to accurately describe just how magical this place is!!! The owners have gone above and beyond to make the stay the most relaxing and enjoyable it can be, with a true cabin-in-the-woods cozy vibe! We loved relaxing in the hottub, playing the board games that were available, and taking our morning coffee down to the dock! Can’t recommend this spot enough!!!
