Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Peaceful location. Clean and welcoming. Everyone in our party loved it and would like to stay again. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Highly recommend! ##### JEFFREY M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesse K. Apr 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous getaway We had a wonderful stay here over three nights in mid-April. We loved the style and personal touches of the property, and our dog loved how dog friendly it was and especially loved being able to prance around the beach and pull sticks out of the lake. Our visit was fantastic, and we’d happily come back sometime — well worth it! ##### Jesse K. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg P. Oct 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely quiet lakehouse Beautiful Cottage located on a private two acre lot with lovely views of the lake which my two water loving labs thoroughly enjoyed swimming in. ##### Greg P.

Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing and comfortable The house was clean and well set up and the architecture was really cool! It was too cold to kayak but we enjoyed the lake view and the nearby hiking. ##### Naomi L. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise S. Sep 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Lakefront Cottage Comfortable, quiet, well-appointed cottage on beautiful Forest Lake. Great three-season enclosed porch overlooking the lake. We enjoyed the spectacular views from the lovely rustic dining table also on the three season porch. If you're looking for an out-of-the way, special escape, look no further. Mink Hollow is a little gem! ##### Denise S. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynne S. Jun 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely lakefront house in the woods Nice large older cottage with some significant renovations (kitchen and bathroom) while maintaining lots of charm throughout. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed in first floor "master", nice shower, very comfortable living room furniture, big table on sun porch for a family. We did not take advantage of many of the listed amenities such as grill, canoe, outdoor chairs, etc. Good wifi. Two tvs that we didn't turn on. Washer and dryer downstairs. The place was very clean with no trace that dogs or other pets are sometimes in the house. Anyone with mobility challenges should consult with the very responsive owner, Jamie, about their limitations, as you cannot really avoid some stairs. ##### Lynne S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward Z. May 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Property to get a way and relax! The house was clean and as described. Very private location, nice and quite. We look forward to going back to this property but for a longer stay! ##### Edward Z.
