Jul 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic get-away!! We had a really fun time at this cottage! Our boys (15 yrs old) as well as us adults had an amazing time fishing off the dock and taking the pontoon out for fishing in the big lake! Enjoying coffee in the morning and having a cocktail in the evening on the deck was peaceful and relaxing! Everything was super clean and had everything you would need (except spices...salt and pepper provided...but no other spices which is fine...but many homes do have additional spices...so just sharing that you should bring your own). She even had s'more material laid out for guests that we did not use because we were all too tired from fishing to make a bon fire! :) Owner was super responsive and very kind!We will definitely book again if we are in St Helen! Highly recommend to anyone looking for canal/lake life lodging! ![Out on Lake St Helen looking for the big catch!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e2dc77e8-8051-4348-857f-528c20a09b03-1752433333150.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### The Scott F.
