We had such a good time here and the place was perfect for what we needed. We loved having the availability of the boats and kayaks and having a dock for easy entry to the lake. Would come back in the future.

Fathers Day Getaway

We had a great stay at this cabin! It was very clean and the property was beautiful. Our family caught lots of fish and enjoyed the paddle boat, canoe and kayaks. We traveled into town and visited the Amish bakery which was absolutely delicious. Terry greeted us upon arrival and was very informative about the area and the cabin. It had all the basic necessities plus a little more. We are looking forward to visiting this place again.

Great people

We have stayed many times here and each time it is enjoyable. Tammy is very informative and accommodating when checking in . This house was very recently remodeled and is like new and each time has been spotless . The view of the lake is wonderful and the covered back patio a great place to relax. This is one of the nicest rentals that i have stayed at and I highly recommended it .

Girls Weekend

We have a girls weekend from two families that have known each other for 58 years. We enjoyed the place because it was able to accommodate 6 adults. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. It was on a quiet lake. We were able to relax and enjoy the time together. We will tell others about the place.

Paradise on the water

This is my family’s second time staying at this beautiful house on Sunken lake and there will be a third. The house is extremely clean and has everything you need. The only thing I can warn someone on is that Google is wrong with the directions. That is no fault of the property nor the property manager. Once you’re at the house, you won’t want to leave. The view is second to none and so is the fishing. My shoulder is killing me from all the smallmouth I caught. It is a no wake lake, so you don’t have to worry about boats zipping past you ruining your time on the water. The view from the kitchen is breathtaking and it continues to the covered patio. I absolutely love this house and I will continue to book my vacations here.

Ideal fishing conditions

We were landing the fish, the first 2 days we were there. The weather was up and down for us. Still had a fantastic time. Went and checked out the cracks in the earth, that was a site to see. Overall was an amazing trip. We will look to book again in the future.

Beautiful and peaceful, house was very clean, like new! Nice size bedrooms and bathrooms, love the laundry room. The covered patio was amazing, lots of spacious seating, large grill, and very comfortable. The view was so beautiful, to watch eagles and deer and fish jump all day was so peaceful. Fishing is awesome, paddle boat, kayaks and canoe were used ALOT! Dock is great, the water is so clear. Over-all a perfect stay. Will be back! Thank you for everything!

Lovely place at the lake

Loved our relaxing time at the cottage just steps away from the lake. It was great to take the boats out to the lake and to gaze at the stars from the deck. With no wifi this is a grrat place for complete relaxation.

Very nice cottage on a quiet, laid-back lake. I really liked the gas grill. Coffee maker in the place was the slowest on the planet, should be replaced. Had my 1 year old granddaughter with me and she crawls a lot. Floor was dirty when we got there. Would have mopped it but no mop. Otherwise great place

Above and beyond!

This stay exceeded my expectations. The house was beautiful, plenty of space. You don’t need anything! I was amazed with all the little details of supplies that were available. Our trip was quite rainy but with the covered patio it made it quite enjoyable. Kayaks, canoe, paddleboat and cornhole game in the garage and a fire pit (they even had a wood shack full of firewood) gave us much entertainment. I highly recommended this rental. Also Tammy was my contact for this rental and was amazing. I sent her a text that a kayak oar was missing, within an hour she had one sent over. Thank you for such an incredible experience!!!
