This vrbo was amazing! It is so cute and nicely decorated and very cozy. It’s one of the nicest ones we’ve stayed in. The area is nice, and we felt very safe. We stayed here for our daughter’s wedding, and the host surprised us and decorated for her wedding and also made some personalized decorations for us to take home. It was so sweet of them. We highly recommend this cottage. I would definitely stay here again.

We were in Sister Lakes for a family reunion, this cottage was perfect for our stay. Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated too. Owners were so easy to work with and left snacks and coffee which was a thoughtful perk. We also enjoyed the deck in the back. All and all it was all just great!

Destination Wedding

We were in the area to attend a wedding on a nearby lake. The cottage is located within walking distance of 3 different lakes. There is a small restaurant, coffee shop, and ice cream store with outside seating on a lake within a quarter mile. The host did a great job decorating the home with the cottage/lake feel. They really thought of everything- cushions for chairs to sit on the back deck, firewood for the fire pit, and kitchen stocked with appliances. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

Everything was great but the bathroom was amazing! The glass block wall made it bright while in the deep tub and using all the products left. My only regret is that I didn’t get to use the jacuzzi jets. All the beds were comfortable and nobody lacked for blankets or pillows. The attention to detail by the hosts is 6 stars. Thank you!!
