Real lake house feeling

Loved the lake area it hasn’t been ruined with commercial T-shirt shops etc etc. The Lake house felt historic and very comfortable. It made feel like I was actually at a lake.

Beautiful but very fragrant

Great little tiny home with everything you need. I was so excited about staying here. It felt very spacious and homey even though it was small. Unfortunately I was allergic to the heavily used fragrances. My skin was very itchy and I had a massive headache while inside. I contacted the host and she was very responsive. She told me everything was washed in Gain scented detergent and softener. She even offered to rewash some of the laundry to try and make me more comfortable but we were only there for 2 nights so I just slept in blankets we brought with us. Over lovely place. I would just recommend maybe using a free and clear detergent brand to accommodate people with sensitive skin or babies.

Girl's Getaway!

My daughter, granddaughter and I have been enjoying a few days away in the summer and our choice this year was great! Though small, it was a fun, unique 'home away from home'! Our hostess was very easy to communicate with and welcomed my 'granddog'! She provided doggie dishes and toys! The info of restaurant listings and Lake places of interest were very helpful to us in making choices!

Cozy Little Cottage

We loved our stay at this cozy little cottage. The host was wonderful and easy to communicate with. Everything one needs, plus fun extra items, were available. They even left us a welcome gift. And we loved that we could bring our Labrador with us as she is part of the family :) Would absolutely book again! Thank you for the kind and thoughtful hospitality!

Indian Lake

We needed a place that allowed our pup. They not only allowed her, they had dog bowls, a tennis ball and poop bags for her. Made the visit easy. Great touches throughout the cottage. Owners were so helpful as we planned our trip. We will be back.

Adorable cottage

The cottage was clean with a well appointed style reflecting lake life. It was perfect for my stay with my dog. I had forgotten my dogs water bowl and I was delighted to find a set of dog bowls that was provided for our use. Another huge bonus was the ceiling fans in every room. Having the lake within walking distance was great for walking my dog.

This was a great spot to spend time with friends! The cottage is small but the furniture and decorations are well thought out to make use of the space. It was clean and we loved being a short walk to the water!

Weekend Trip

Seldom Inn was exactly the home base we needed as we were visiting over an extended weekend. The cottage was cute, cozy, and clean, and the communication with the host was great. Although it’s not very big, the space was completely maximized and stocked with supplies to accommodate our family. It was lovely … and, we would stay again.

Very clean and well equipped house. Short walk to the new brewery and quick drive to town if you need anything. Owner was very nice to communicate with. Boat slip is out of the way of the waves which is nice.
