Serene perfect place to stay
Anyone looking for a comfy well appointed place in a serene setting with the nicest hosts imaginable should look no further. Highly recommended. Spent 3 nights here with my 10 year old son and we couldn’t have asked for more. 10/10

A thoroughly wonderful experience
My husband and I spent a week here in early September, and couldn't have wished for a lovelier time. I counted 44 bird species from the back deck, which overlooks the beautiful Kettle River. We swam in the river, played golf at the excellent course nearby, cycled the rail trail across the river, and canoed in Jewel Lake. The cottage is absolutely clean, and utterly charming. Debbie and Lanny are delightful hosts, as are their 7 curious turkeys. We're already planning our next visit.

Great little get away
The Little House is great, Lanny and Debbie were great hosts. The turkeys and chickens entertained the kids, they also loved the water right behind the house. Great little getaway from daily life, just what we needed.

Whether it's their warm hospitality, helpful recommendations, prompt responsiveness, or attention to detail, exceptional, they truly make a difference. We had a wonderful time with Debbie and Lanny, who exceeded our expectations. The cottage was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Overall, this cottage is a hidden gem, offering a delightful blend of comfort, style, and hospitality. It’s a place where you can create cherished memories and truly feel like you’ve found a home away from home. We're looking forward to this great experience again. Jagth, Shobha, Tim, Kit and Rehan 💝

A Home Away from Home
Wow! The house and location is absolutely breathtaking. The chickens that walk around during the day are adorable and the cows that are occasionally seen in the field is a lovely surprise. The float down the river is super relaxing and there is a lovely mix of sun and shade so there is no chance of overheating. From the property there is also the option to do a crisp morning dip into the river to start your day. The fresh eggs that are provided taste outstanding and are the perfect morning meal. 10/10 will be staying here again.

The cottage was fully stocked with everything you need for a week long vacation, or longer really! The owners went above and beyond to help us feel welcome, share about the area and make sure we always had everything we needed! The acerage is absolutely beautiful! So quiet and relaxing. We loved hanging out, and learning about the chickens! The property has access to the river, a fire pit and BBQ. Our family, with 2 teenagers, highly recommends this property!
