Living our best life on the lake...
Our dream is to one day own a home near a lake. We got a taste of it and definitely would like more of it. Cora Cottage on Fox Lake is just magical and magnificent. The moment we stepped in, we were mesmerized by the view and sounds of the water. In the house itself, you'll find yourself saying that it feels like home; clean, beautiful, and wonderful.

Great view
Nice clean home with a great view. It was wonderful to have laundry on site. And the house had everything we needed from towels to cooking supplies to water, coffee and snacks. And the water pressure and mattresses were great! We slept so well! The neighborhood was nice and quiet. I do think it could be a little cuter. But they are working on it. There is a brand new park area that’s beautiful and a great nearby place to rent any boat you might want.

We loved we could dock our boat right on this property. Maria, the host made sure we had the extras I forgot, like coffe/tea/sugar/honey/creamer/etc. She also left snacks for adults/fur babies!! This home is very well cared for does not look like a rental that would allow your fur baby, so glad we found it!! We’ll definitely be back next year!

Cora Cottage
Lovely little cottage that has been lovingly rehabbed. Online pictures are completely accurate. Celebrated by father’s 80th birthday there and it was a hit. We were able to fish right off the pier and were consistently getting bites and catching small fish like bluegill and perch. The one drawback is that the walk from the house could be treacherous for some as it is quite steep. Overall, great place!

Beautiful, updated and spotless home with ever amenity you could need. A large deck on top and covered patio below to relax and watch the boats. Deck by the water was perfect place to watch the sunset. We stayed a week and wished it were longer!

Beautiful lake views
The lake views were beautiful and so nice that it was pet friendly. It was very clean and the decor was top notch. The little extras from the owners were a lovely touch. If you bring pets, be aware there is only a spiral staircase to the lower level and the green space is steeply graded. My pet could not navigate the stairs inside so we had to use the outside stairs which do not have lights for nighttime.

Perfect stay
Everything was great from the moment we booked the house. Had great communication with the owner house was beautiful and very clean. There was a beautiful view of the lake. There was plenty of room for the family couldn’t have asked for more. She even had snacks for the dog and the kids turned out great but highly recommend again and for friends and family. We would definitely rent this house again, hands-down.

Lovely lake house!
Beautifully appointed with everything you’d need (except a hair dryer if you use one but that’s normal). What a wonderfully peaceful place to stay…I enjoyed a quiet cup of coffee on the upstairs deck with the sun keeping me warm on a seasonal December day. My husband and 12 year old enjoyed a few games of darts the night before-lots of board games too, to keep you entertained during the off lake season. Comfortable beds and lots of attention to detail-it was like staying with family (but only if your family is not around and not annoying like mine :)
