We did not feel like we were just 10 minutes from home! We felt so relaxed and our son had a blast fishing. There were so many things to do at the property. The blackstone grill made meals so easy! The cottage was charming and very cute. The yard between the cottage and lake front was very spacious. We have stayed in quite a few VRBO properties and this is definitely our favorite so far! To think it’s only 10 mins away from where we live, is the best! The hosts were amazing! They thought of so many details to make anyone’s stay easier. We plan to be back! ##### LAURA W.

Aug 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Everything about our stay at this lovely place has been perfect. The house was so beautiful, neat, clean and the decor was so pretty! The view was so amazing that we enjoyed watching the fish jumping, the turtles popping up their heads and the ducks and geese on the water. The furniture and the bed were so comfortable. It is very highly rated and recommended. We loved being there! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f4cef952-02f2-4fb5-8c03-09965307606f-1755275960500.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Betty N.
