Perfect place for a quiet getaway. This property was the cleanest house I have ever rented from in the past. They had every amenity you could think of. We would love to stay there again in the future and enjoy the peacefulness of the area.

It was pleasant. Very quiet and wonderful view of the lake. Excellent fishing. I had a few things that required online access to complete, so I selected a locations that listed wifi. Unfortunately the wifi was extremely slow so U had a hard time sending email. That said if you want a remote spot where you feel left alone to fish, this is great. Most people do not rent a lake cabin for the internet access though...

Three Swans

We came up for a high school graduation in the local area as well as to spend time with our family. The Lakehouse was beautiful inside and perfect for our stay. It had ample entertainment along with anything that we may have needed for our stay.

Short pleasant stay

Our stay was cut short due to travel issues and owing to weather b4 we arrived, the lake level was elevated. We enjoyed the lake house, the view and the local area (Colon). Would have liked to have time on the lake - maybe next time.

Quiet cabin

Great place if your looking for a quite, off the beaten path place to get away. Lake is great with a nice deck. Lots of floats and life jackets available. The house is very well stocked with everything you need. Kitchen has all the essentials. The town of Colon is about 10 minutes with a small grocery store and a few local places to eat .

Fantastic spot

This property was amazing. It was perfect for our little friend group. It has so much to offer, boats, lake access, fire pits, board games, etc. for a great price. The only thing was the water was extra hard and stained your skin orange. That being said we knew about the water before staying there and we are used to hard water so it really wasn't that big of an issue.

Enjoyed our stay. Pretty remote if you want groceries or other supplies. Amish grocery stores nice

Communication with Freshwater was great. Worked with me on pricing to make it work. Very relaxing. Weekends were busier when the neighbors showed up. Fishing very convenient.

Very disappointed in the property. Exterior of the home was very dirty had to walk through cobwebs in order to get into the door. Property was not well kept looks more like a shack than a lake house. The pictures posted are very misleading of the actual home. The exterior property picture is just a picture of the front porch.The grill only halfway worked. Toilets were broken. You had to hold in the handle in order to get it flushed. Lighting was very scarce within the property. Being visually disabled it caused concerns. Many times when trying to utilize the lake, the neighbors in their motorized vehicles to go over the lake making my children have to exitThe bedrooms were odd. My husband and I had to use the smaller bedroom with a smaller bed. That way my two teen girls could have their own bed in the larger bedroom.

Quiet get away

Quaint little place with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was great for my time in Colon. There are some quirks about the place but the managers are upfront about them when you book. For example it is well water and does sometimes have a slight smell to it. The bed could have been a little better, but I didn't have any trouble sleeping.

Quiet Christmas getaway

Property is nice and quiet. We were there during a snowstorm, it was very nice. There is a lot of iron in the water which leads the water to look Brown. We were unaware of this and it was a little disconcerting. Truly, the only improvement I would add to this was to be informed of the water so that we could have brought more with us as the weather was quite dramatic and travel was difficult while we were there. The property managers were amazing! They helped with everything we had questions about. We had a lovely time.

Extremely well stocked and so fun!

My pals, my dogs, and I stayed at this cabin and we 100% plan on returning. The cabin was extremely well stocked with necessities (sunscreen, bug spray, hand lotion, q tips, tons of kitchen equipment, spices, etc) and fun things (floaties, floating dock, games, DVDs, kayaks, canoes, firewood, frisbee golf, etc.). There's tons of outside seating, too, which is great because the lake is so cute! We were there on a a Tuesday - Thursday and did not see any neighbors so while there are houses close by, we still had solitude and privacy. It was 97 degrees out while we were there, but the one AC unit in the living room did a great job of keeping the cabin cool enough for the dogs and for sleeping. The property contact was super helpful and responsive as well! Really truly recommend for a cozy, fun time!!

Decent location, old house

Overall the location was decent, however the house appears to have been built in the 50's, as it still has remnants of cloth insulated wiring and appliance disconnects from that era. Definitely not sealed well as there were quite a few flies and ants around. The bathroom fan also needs to be replaced as it is making quite a racket from the fan blades hitting the housing. By far the biggest issue is the water quality. The water has so much iron in it, it smells metallic and stains everything orange. Even a brita filter couldn't handle it.
