Most of us enjoyed watching the pelicans and egrets on the deck. We played cards with our teens. I dont think the teens liked "unplugging" but I know it recharged all of our mental batteries. It was a gorgeous view and the bed was comfortable!!! Thanks for the stay John! ##### Kelsey G. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer C.

This place was perfect for the 2 people and 2 dogs to get away for the July 4th Weekend. The dogs loved the long walks in the meadow and along the road. The deck was a great place to sit in the sun and watch the swans. John was communicative and very nice. This is really a great place away from the hub-bub of the busy and noisy world. We did take the dogs into Morris (about 30 minute drive) on Saturday to an off leash dog park and DQ for pup cups afterwards. Other than that we worked remotely one day, watched movies, and read. Wifi and Roku were great to be able to work and log in to our own accounts for watching what we wanted. Would go back, especially with our dog, to avoid the fireworks and other holiday noises. It truly is a serene setting. ##### Jennifer C. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica C.

From the photos on the website the cabin looks secluded. However, even though we saw cars, we only saw the host one time for about 5 minutes and no one else. It was very quiet and private. It was rustic, cozy, and clean. Very small (we expected that). We appreciated being able to bring our dogs. We had a very relaxing 2 days. We would have appreciated if the chairs by the Fire pit had been cleaned off and one of them was broken. Overall, we had a lovely time. ##### Shawn K.

This cottage on a beautiful pond teeming with wildlife was a perfect place for me. The deck was a wonderful space to drink in the natural beauty. The hosts were cordial, but not intrusive. I stayed 3 extra days because I didn't want to leave. Also, an autobiography of the history and life of this area gave me an even deeper impression of this protected wetland site. ##### Maryellen K.

Must bring water to drink. It's on a farm so owner is right beside you, dog runs loose and a cat. Pros: It's very quiet, even with them beside us we didn't hear much noise more the ducks on the lake over everything. Owner very responsive and helpful when needed. Pretty much have everything there you need minus normal things you would pack to a hotel. Great views, lots of ducks, pelicans, birds, and squirrels. Overall a good relaxing weekend. ##### James H.

We were looking for a quiet get-away for the weekend and we were not disappointed. The cottage was small, yet just what we needed as we enjoyed the deck and watching the pelicans. We were able to cook all our meals as there was a stocked kitchen with plates, utensils, etc. We used a cooler on a deck for extra storage since the fridge is under the counter. Cottonwood Lake is within 5 minutes and stocked with fish. ##### Rich G. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy R. Jul 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We went to enjoy the serenity! This was our second stay at this cottage. We specifically selected this property based on its remote location where we would not be able to hear fireworks. The only noise we heard was the birds singing to us! You are still within a half hour from restaurants and groceries. The hosts are THE BEST. Communication is prompt and thorough. We were able to take our small dog with us as well. The cottage is intimate but has everything you need. The water is very hard, so we took extra for me so I could rinse my hair......yes, my husband rolled his eyes on this request, but went along with it. We take bottled water for drinking and making tea/coffee and any cooking. The shower has great hot water and toilet flushes great. Nice, functional newer kitchen. The very best part was the large deck off the kitchen where we sat for many hours watching all the wildlife. We noticed very few bugs of any kind and we were there over July 4th. ##### Sandy R.

Jul 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely place The property was lovely, kitchen was well equipped, and the view of the lake/pond was beautiful. We got to see a couple of pelicans, and herons. ##### Leslie H.
