We had a wonderful time at the cabin. Caught a lot of fish, had some amazing day trips, and had so much space for our family and dog. The shower on the main floor should have its own highlights on the listing, trust me when I say it's lovely!I would highly recommend staying here for the lovely cabin, but also the ability to go out the front to fish, kayak, paddleboard, swim or the back to catch an array of fish in the dam.

The house was very conveniently located to downtown West Branch, and even nicer than the listing would lead you to believe. The house was beautiful and clean, and we enjoyed the kayaks and canoe. The lake also holds some very large fish. The owner left a list of recommended restaurants and attractions close by which was much appreciated.

The property was clean, well maintained and as advertised. The area is quiet with little traffic and the town of West Branch is very quaint! We enjoyed the kayaks and canoe very much! Fishing was slow at first but we switched the bait up and caught carp, perch, rock bass and blue gill, sadly no trout :( but it was still fun. The owner was quick to respond to questions before and during our stay. We wouldn't hesitate to book this property again!

This charming cottage offers a prime location on a smaller, all-sports lake with a private, intimate feel — a rare combination. Situated right next to the lake's dam, the gentle waterfall sounds enhance the relaxing experience of sitting lakeside and soaking in the beautiful views.The cottage is thoughtfully stocked with everything you need for daily living and is well-maintained throughout. Guests can enjoy late-night evenings by the water on the lower level, while kids love the fantastic game room featuring a bar, pool table, foosball, and more.

Over all had good time very relaxing, House is very nice and nice game room in basement. The terrain along bank for fishing is uneven and rocky. If you have a bad back like mine make sure you have back brace. A lot of geegse visit this property watch where you step, I would suggest a little peer be installed for fishing and launching of canoe. Enjoy

It's quite a charming and unique cottage. We enjoyed all of the fishing bling. We were a bit early for fishing, but managed to lose a few lures below the dam. A nice weekend getaway to a comfy cottage. We'll book again. Thanks.
