Cant say enough good things about our stay. Angelina and Sam made us feel like family and made sure we had anything we needed. The comfort of the cottage is so peaceful we extended our stay and did not wish to leave. Swimming in the pool was very enjoyable, they even supply several floaties for our son and life vest. The fishing I may add is the best, a good supply of Bass and Bream that will not disappoint anyone willing to try their luck. Paddle boats and a small fishing boat tied at the dock for our use made fun on the lake possible. My favorite was to sit on the back screened in patio drinking coffee and taking the peaceful beauty of the property in setting my mind and thoughts at ease. We will definitely return here and do it again. Thank you so much Sam and Angelina.....

Own Piece of Private Heaven!
What an amazing experience, I don't even know where to begin! Driving onto the property was breathtaking, you crest a hill and BAM gorgeous right on the pond. The owner was very kind and accommodating to any of our needs. She gives you a tour and then you are on your own to enjoy the beauty and serenity. We stayed with 5 adults and 3 children and could not get enough. The pool was refreshing, ping pong was a blast, the pond and john boat was a lot of fun. We couldn't have asked for a better time and a better host! Thank you for allowing us to have this memory! We will be back!

Disappointed/Was not ready
We wanted warm place with private pool and private fishing. Pool not open or even getting ready to be...paddle boat and fishing boat BOTH broken.. Also it said sauna ,didnt see it ,so assuming it wasn't ready either. No wifi or tv ..Not alot of privacy, their house is so close ,when we tried to sit out in sun,we had company..Do not get me wrong the people were so nice ,the bedding and linens were clean..We had to leave early,due to home issues ,but they patched the paddle boat and was trying to fix fishing boat.

This is a very pretty location. If you can get past everything else, it’s a decent place. To start with, I usually don’t review many places, but I felt compelled to pass this info on. When the owner writes to contact her to arrange a meeting to a key and tour, she won’t respond. I was so stressed I called the agency. They could not get ahold of her and were rebooking me. Less then 45 minutes before arrival she finally called back. She lives on property so don’t worry, she’s there. When she says bring paper products, that means less than 1 flush worth of toilet paper, no trash bags, very few paper towels. It it’s something you expect to use at a rental, bring it. There was everything you need in the kitchen besides knives and cookie sheets. It’s a rustic cabin, with lots of antique dusty stuff. Make sure if it’s winter, you bring extra layers in the downstairs, you will need them. But upstairs where you sleep will be nice and warm. No matter how you adjust the thermostat. There are lots of geese. Make sure to wear shoes and watch where you sit. The faucets drip all night and yep the fans squeak. There are window and portable Ac units just an FYI. The lighting is pour for family activities and the tv is an antique, utilizing DVD player. If you can deal with that it looks like a nice place for an outdoor weekend. The owners did leave you alone and understood your privacy.
