Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Tranquil and secluded, this adorable cottage is just the place to escape everyday life and simply relax. With a private beach and mountain views, you'll fall in love with the lake as you kayak or simply enjoy your first cup of coffee. As the days heat up, a dip in the water is never a bad idea; a private gas grill is also ready to assist in barbecuing each evening in the fresh air. Step out to the outdoor seating area for a glass of wine with friends - you'll all have plenty of space to hang out at the umbrella-covered picnic table. Spending time in the great outdoors is the major draw here, yet downtime spent indoors will be just as enjoyable with a flatscreen TV, business-class internet to support streaming on multiple devices, and plush furnishings throughout. Plus, the full kitchen features a gas range and all of the major appliances of the home for easy meal prep for lakeside snacks.
With a gorgeous view of Leavitt Bay and mountains, it will be hard to leave this private oasis, yet there is much to do nearby! When you aren't fishing, swimming, or boating, there are many country roads and trails for some biking or hiking. Or, perhaps you would like to check out the fairways at Indian Mound Golf Club, just a little over six miles away. Chances are that appetites will need to be satisfied, so be sure to sample local restaurants like The Wooden Spoon, Windy Fields Farm, Smoking Guns BBQ & Butcher Shop, MountainView Station, Mumma Christy's Pizzas & Subs, Hobbs Tavern & Brewing Company, and Harley Jacks Burgers and Brews, all within 15 miles of the cottage!

Beautiful cottage, description a bit off
We had a great week at the cottage and the accommodations were good, yet the description on the site was a little off. It was very clean but secluded and tranquil isn't very accurate. There were plenty of boats and motor sports around the lake, which we got used to and it was fine, but certainly not quiet. If the two cottages on each side are occupied, there isn't much privacy. Again, everything was fine, but our expectations fell a bit short. Silly things I noticed were there was no toaster, plenty of ants (mentioned in past reviews, but no any buttons in sight), plenty of shower and bath towels and no games. We never got the combination to unlock the kayaks but someone on the property helped us out. We were told the propane tanks were full and by the third day, we had three empty tanks. We only used the grill twice before they were empty and didn't use the firepit at all. The management company did come the following day to replace them all. We had a great vacation and everything worked out, but not 100% what we expected.

We Have Ants!
Lovely location but we would not return because the cottage was infested with ants of the tiny red and big black varieties. We purchased ant cups and placed them around the kitchen but they did nothing to deter them. We also had a problem with the volume on the TV. It was stuck on LOUD and there was nothing we could do to lower it. It would have been nice if someone had checked in with us early in our stay to make sure everything was in order but that never happened.
