They thought of all the details. I can’t wait to bring my family here for a summer getaway. It’s a true treasure ##### Candy E. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer H. Jun 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family trip Jacob was really great at communicating with us about everything. Quick to respond and answered all our questions. House was clean and fully stocked for us that was wonderful. We had a little issue when we first arrived there were mice stuck in the window wells outside but it is very rural area and we had extremely hot weather. Jacob offered to come take care of that but we were able to help them out by putting a long stick in there for them to get out. The house was all newly remodeled. The view was stunning. The lake just a few steps off the back deck. The beach was much smaller then we originally thought but we had a ton of rain and we could tell the lake was up. My family had a wonderful stay there and made a lot of new memories. Fishing was so fun off the dock. One thing to note is they must be on a well again very rural farm land area, so the water smelled a bit of eggs. We only had use of the one bathroom upstairs the other bathroom as two were advertised, the door was locked so we could not use it. That was a bit of a pain for my husband who slept in the bedroom downstairs. All in all i highly reccomend this lake home to anyone. It was a great location, very quiet, very clean and the management was wonderful to work with. ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly C.

Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Lake Cottage The Lake Marth Cottage was a nice VRBO. Hosts were easy to work with and responsive. The amenities are fairly simple / basic but accurate to the descriptions. The lake itself is smallish but pleasant for paddling, swimming and fishing (we are amateures but the kids caught several small fish which was fun for them) . Other homeowners / vacationers were friendly. We enjoyed our stay. ##### Brian H.
