This was a quick one night stay. Perfect for what we needed. Would have liked to spend a weekend instead of one night. The deck/patio near the lake was superb to relax and decompress after a long day.

Cozy cottage. Nice personal touches. Great hosts.

My husband and I stayed a couple nights for an anniversary getaway. The peaceful lakeview is perfect for the cozy cottage. We watched turtles, swans, and ducks and listened to the sounds of a loon and other songbirds. The hosts were communicative and friendly the entire process. We would stay here again.

Lakefront Fun

The house is cute with a great view of the lake. We spendt time eating on the patio and enjoying the view. There were good restaurants not too far away, and a Dollar General that we had to run to for some things. The check-in and check-out process was so easy.

Great get-away!!

We had a wonderful stay at this house! It was incredibly clean and cozy; peaceful and welcoming! We loved having the lake front property for our quick stay, too! Everything was truly so nice here, I would book another stay at this lovely home in a heartbeat if our travels took us back down to Colon! Thank you!
