What Our Guests Are Saying

  • So glad we stayed here! We live on a lake 1 hour north, but wanted to do something fab for our anniversary. This property sets a new standard — not just because the location, but because of how evidently lived in and loved it is as a home. The hot tub and sauna were a hit, and the property is breathtaking. Even though we live in the area, we felt a thousand miles away in the best way possible. I hardly ever read, and I got 200 pages into a book over the weekend. That is how relaxed I was. Best anniversary to date. Thank you for curating such a loved and cozy home. We had a great time! Thank you Dan!

  • As pictured. And proactive, friendly and helpful communication. Pretty neat spot. Enjoyed the hot tub and sauna in between exploring TC. Also enjoyed coffee with a fire on the beach on the morning.

  • Beautiful location great host! Will definitely wanna come back for a longer stay!

  • What a wonderful gem. Great amenities, activities, and so peaceful. Perfect lake cabin getaway.

  • Well kept property with the amenities that matter! Hot tub & sauna were wonderful. Cottage was small but exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Close enough to TC to enjoy the breweries, shopping, and restaurants but far enough to relax and unwind before and after. Communication from the hosts was great! Clear and concise with just the right amount of personal touch!

  • This home was truly a Slice Of Heaven. A perfect place to start our sisters week trip. We enjoyed the views, the hot tub, the sauna, the fire pit, the kayaks, the sunrises and sunsets. Dan, Lisa and Shawne are fabulous hosts! Communication was great before and during our stay. We highly recommend a stay here! We were sad to leave.

  • Great place and great owners! 🥂

  • What a special place! We had an amazing stay over Labor Day weekend. Such a wonderful property with everything you could think of. The beach, fire pits, kayaks, paddle boards, hot tub, sauna … this place has it all, but more importantly the hosts provide all the little things and extras to make your stay so comfortable. We can’t wait to get back!
