Enjoyed Our Stay!
We enjoyed our cabin. Only a couple of concerns: the air conditioner was old and never stopped running (it didn’t interfere with out sleeping) and the shower was more of a mist instead of a spray. My wife was afraid to wash her hair. She was concerned about being able to wash out the soap. However, we would consider staying there again if we were in the area.

Cozy Cottage on the Lake
We loved being right on the lake and taking the boats out this morning was a highlight. Though smaller than we expected, this was rustic stay on a beautiful lake.

I didnt need to bring a thing except clothes and food. Cottages are clean and well equipped and remind me of something my grandparents might have stayed at which I liked. The cottage was literally 3 yards to the lake. I had fun kayaking in the kayaks they had provided. Nancy and Lee are great hosts, and I really enjoyed my vacation.

Liked: Cleanliness
The owners were accommodating. The place was clean and the bed was comfortable. There are good places to eat nearby. There is also a grocery store, not too far away. They have nice gas grills at each cottage and screened in porches. But...the salmon cottage was just too small for the two of us. The cottage was leaning toward the lake and sits just off a busy highway. It is a one room bed, and kitchenette with a dorm type refrigerator. The "beach" area was a small area in front of another cabin. The kayaks and paddle boat left a lot to be desired, but they are free to use. There may have been better ones already in use? I can see where

Clean rustic cabin. Simple kitchen with basic items. Internet with Netflix. Each cabin had individual gas BBQ as well as fire ring. Sandy beach for young free use of Kayaks. Owner was on site and quick to check on guests. Price per week for reasonable. Not anything I would complain

Right on the lake. Very small but functional beach. Somewhat near a main road, so you get traffic noise during certain hours. Nothing that impacts sleeping etc.

Perfect place to take kids. Children were up at the crack of dawn to take out kayaks and paddle boats. They went fishing all day long and had a blast. Very clean accommodations One of the twin beds was a little uncomfortable. Screened in porch, fire pit, and BBQ grill This is a place family memories are made Will return

Great start, Nancy texted me to tell me my cabin would be ready before 11, and she would check up on me after I had arrived. Cozy little cabin, was perfect for a day to myself, wish I had more time to use lake and boats.

If you are looking for 5-star accommodations, this isn’t for you.....HOWEVER, if you are looking for a 5-Star experience, this could be perfect. The cabins are rustic, but ours (the orange cabin) was clean and just a few feet from the lake. Since we are on a road trip and eating out most places, we decided to go to the store and picked up some ribs to cook and eat on our porch overlooking the lake. They have a bbq and basic needs for eating utensils (plates, cups, etc). We had a very pleasant experience. There is a small beach entrance, and water toys - paddle boat, kayaks, floaties. At 9:00 the morning of the day we were checking in, I got a message from the owner Nancy, saying our cabin was ready for us any time we would arrive! (Have NEVER had anything like that happen before!). We weren’t able to arrive until around 4:00, but once we got settled in and we’re sitting outside on the provided chairs looking over the lake, Nancy came to greet us and we had a very pleasant conversation with her. As we were just passing through on a road trip, we won’t likely be going back, but this will be one of the most memorable stays on our trip! 😃
