A cozy cottage
This property is in a nice lakeside neighborhood although it is close to a railroad track and busy road. It is clean, cozy and convenient with everything you can possibly need in kitchen etc.
Only two issues: it was very difficult to open the door. It was as if the lock had trouble working with the key? I’m sure it’s fixable. Also, the hot tub jets only work on one side. Which they may not be aware of. All n all, we enjoyed staying there and it is very comfortable. We had to leave day early but it wasn’t because we were unhappy.

Weekend Getaway
My husband and I came out for a little weekend getaway. The place was just what we needed. Quiet, clean, and with lovely views of the lake. The lake is very shallow, so if bringing a boat, be sure to do your research on the lake beforehand.

Perfect relaxing getaway.
This is the perfect place for a weekend trip. Enjoying meals from the screened in porch over looking the lake was wonderful. Relaxing in the hot tub looking up at the stars. Sitting by the fire at night or watching movies on the very comfortable sectional. Even caught some catfish right from the backyard. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and the host was very helpful and answered any questions we had very quickly.

Overall the stay was great. The sleeping arrangements are a little weird as the double futon is in the bedroom and the trundle beds are in the living room, but we made it work.

What a lovely place to come to and relax after dropping our son off at Coe College.
The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect stay: cozy, clean home, kitchen packed with all the things one needs for cooking, comfortable bed, incredible views of the lake-THE SUNSET!
We would definitely come back!

Quiet lake house for short getaway
We booked this place for a short weekend trip between busy summer activities. It’s in a quiet location right on Cedar Lake. The kitchen and carpet could use a little updating, but it was clean and has everything needed for a short stay. We spent most of the time sitting on the dock and screened in porch. We really enjoyed our stay!

Exactly what we wanted
We loved this place so much and Sharon was great. Very responsive and helpful. We’ve had experiences with rentals of the listing saying they had something and then it doesn’t work or isn’t what was advertised. This place was exactly what it said it would be and everything worked great and as advertised. The hot tub was lovely! The boat was fantastic! We even loved the bikes.

Nashua Lake House
This property was amazing! We were steps away from the lake. The house was stocked with everything we needed & more. The kitchen had everything we needed & was equipped with spices, condiments & pantry staples. The saving grace for us was the battery charger in the garage as my alternator went out on our trip. Absolutely will stay here again if in the area.

Anniversary stay
Disappointed about flat bike tires and no way to get kayak out of lake from dock. Pontoon wasn’t available but we were promised boat time on a return visit.
Lovely home, well stocked and clean. Nicely furnished. Fire pit was lovely overlooking the lake. Screened in porch was greatly appreciated. We’d like to return to this location and be able to enjoy time on the water too.
