Good size yard for the dog to run around in. The lake is right there and so is the local bar. All the neighbors were friendly so wave hello if you see them. Bringing your own golf cart is a huge move, it's a two minute drive. Driving your car works too, there's plenty of parking. The local towns are nice to explore. If you're from a big city the night sky is amazing to look at. ##### Alan T. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy L.

My wife and I stayed at Kate's place with our dog over the holiday weekend and it was everything you could imagine - this place is amazing! The entire property is stocked with everything you need - from cookware, to linens, games, a fire pit - a huge fenced in property for kids/dogs to run around in and everything you could imagine - it's just such a wonderful place to stay. Kate is super responsive and kind - any questions that we had were answered in a super prompt time. The property itself is clean and comfortable, we felt right at home. We enjoyed our time at the sandy beach near the property, the walks around the area were peaceful and the locals around the area were so kind. We cannot wait to be back again - one of the best places you can stay in the area and such a fantastic spot! Looking forward to the next time we're there! Thanks again! ##### Jeremy L.

Sep 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful, Comfy, and Relaxing "Mini" I'm a senior and stayed at this comfy little cottage with my little dog. Beautiful hydrangeas around the front of the house and a lovely patio highlight the fenced property. Inside it was spotless, comfortably furnished, and the host thought of everything you would need to prepare a meal, watch television, read a book, or enjoy a barbecue on the patio. I slept well, and my dog enjoyed the yard so much that it was hard to get him back inside. The host left a bottle of wine, snacks, coffee K-cups, and plenty of fresh drinking water- greatly appreciated since the tap water has a lot of iron in it. Neighbors are nice and friendly, and I felt very safe at all times. The fish fry at Reilly's was a treat as well as fresh baked goods that I bought at the bakery in Princeton- both businesses recommended by the host. The lake was only a few minutes walk away and the water was clear and inviting. I highly recommend a short drive to the county park nearby, where there is a beach, boat launch, and picnic benches. If you are looking for some time to relax and reset, this is the place for you to be in early Fall. I highly recommend the Minnow and I am planning to return. It was the nicest, cleanest, most comfortable rental I have ever stayed in, and I've rented quite a few. Very dog friendly, too! Thank you! ##### joanne b.

Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristin U. Nov 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy An excellent retreat to kick off retirement. We just hung out, drank wine and coffee (compliments of the hosts), read some great mystery novels and made a huge batch of chili for the coming winter season. Everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and pleasant. The amenities were abundant and the hosts truly went above and beyond expectations. Lovely little getaway cottage!!! ##### Kristin U.
