Birthday getaway

The house was adorable and very clean loved the pellet stove and hot tub. One thing that was a bummer was there was no toilet paper and paper towel as well. We literally were not there except to sleep and ran out as the role of each was at its endWe had to take down one of the alarms as it was beeping all night until my husband figured out which one to take down.

Family & friends fishing fun

The Chateau was very clean and nicely decorated. A warm comfortable home invited us all in to relax. The fishing was difficult but the time spent at the cottage was relaxing and stress free. The hosts had a nice book out with all the instructions and attractions, as well as a nice bottle of wine.

Cute cabin getaway

We loved the cabin! Kitchen is well stocked! The property is nicely shaded and we took advantage of that with our hammocks! Super hot while we were there so only used the hot tub once but can see that it’s a nice bonus perk!

We come yearly, my best friend and I. We started staying exclusively at this property last year because it checks EVERY box for us. Close to town yet semi secluded. Hot tub, beautiful view of big bucks and herring, close trout fishing. Love it!

Week of rest and relaxation

Cottage was super cute. Very clean and cozy. We were a little disappointed that the wet land in the back was dried up but it was still a very peaceful view. Enjoyed the hot tub however do wish it had a little bit more privacy from neighbors, fortunately they were not home during our stay. Over all we had a nice relaxing time.

Great vacation home

We used this home as a base to take day trips from. It was the perfect little cottage tucked in the woods. We also stayed there one day and just relaxed because it rained all day. It's nice and quiet.

Great cottage!

We have no complaints. Spotlessly clean, comfy beds, plenty of space indoors. We made use of the fire pit every night. Loved the hot tub! The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking our meals. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and the 20 or so turkeys running through the yard from the swing. The lake is a 5 minute walk. There is access to launch your kayaks, but not a lot of space to sit in the sand. It was a joy to stay here!
