Fall Fishing Trip

I saw reviews of the property that it needed updated. It is a fishing cottage on a fishing lake, and it is exactly what we wanted and expected. It had everything we needed, even some cast iron skillets! The cottage was cozy and comfortable. Our stay was during the week, but it was extremely quite and relaxing. We would most definately stay again.

Good stay, not much luck with fishing

The place was as described. Small, it it has everything we needed. We wanted to fish but didn’t catch much - a few bluegills and one bass. Anyways, it was good time on the lake and by the fireplace! Thanks a lot to Ryan for making everything easy!

Peaceful simplicity

We wanted a quiet place to swim, relax, have a campfire, get away from home, and play games with our two older teen sons. This was perfect. As listing describes, not overly spacious, but plenty of room for four. We also enjoyed the paddle boat, kayak and raft in the lake, porch swing, ice cream in town, and great lunch at Roll-N Smoke BBQ in North Webster - worth the drive. Stumbled on annual Dixie Days. Owner stopped by the house after we arrived (after checking with us) to make sure all was good. Very gracious. And Mother Nature put on an amazing lightening show for hours at night. Perfect get away vacation - Thank you for sharing your home!

Cute cottage. Great for nature lovers

We enjoyed a quiet and peaceful week at the cottage. It was HOT but thankfully the air worked great in the cottage. We took refuge in the lake every day. It would be great to provide a rake so swimming at the waters' edge could be more enjoyable (I'm wimpy) but we made do with some pool floats:) It was awesome just listening to the sounds of nature! We fished every day too but didn't catch much. Ryan let us park our fishing boat trailer at his workplace, very close by. The cottage has a Roku w/ Netflix - great for a rainy night. We cooked inside due to the heat, fires didn't sound like fun. Everything worked great. JR's Drive-in, Marlow's Pizza, Kountry Kitchen- all good. If you need a place to get away from the city for some quiet, this is the place. Great hosts - very responsive.
