Amazing location, lake access and view

I enjoyed everything about my stay. The lake was perfect for paddleboarding and just lounging and swimming. The mornings are so peaceful and the fire pits outside the unit were so nice to have. Plenty of seating outside and the unit was well furnished, clean and surprisingly spacious. The owners are so friendly and helpful. Because there are 4 units you will see your neighbors outside however we lucked out because reserved during weekday and it was quiet and provided all the relaxation that was needed. Plenty of parking and loved being located at a dead-end road. Highly recommend the chain o' lakes and this cabin for families, friends and even for a solo get-away. I did a little of everything from kayaking to paddleboarding to mountain biking and hiking the nearby state park. Definitely will come back. Note, there was no AC in the unit however plenty of fans and even a couple space heaters provided for your convenience. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Cute cottage but no water first night

It’s a very cute clean cottage. Unfortunately our first hour after getting there we found out there would be no water. Water pump went out and would be repaired asap. The owner brought us acouple gallons of water but didn’t realize the amount of water needed to flush toilets all day. The elderly men in our group had to go down the hill to lake and haul trash cans of lake water to keep us supplied. Still no message from owner and in morning we had to go out to eat because no running water. The water pump did get fixed by noon Sat but water pressure was a very low.. not enough to shower or do dishes. Another thing the cottage was supplied w ceiling fans but no AC.( one window unit would’ve been nice) . That made for a hot uncomfortable sleep. Sat we did pack up and leave one night early. It was a shame! Cute place .. pretty lake.. but note it’s a lot noisier than expected due to party pontoons with blasting music all day. If you travel with a dog this is a good spot to let your dog roam freely.. I didn’t appreciate that too much. I will request a part refund for inconvience and discomfort. I really don’t think it’s even legal to rent a unit w no running water. I was sad it was such a bad experience! Again it’s cute and clean but very poorly managed.

Nice spot.

Everything was as advertised and weather was cooperative. I wish host had provided some wood for fire ring as it is not readily available. Otherwise it was great.
