Cottage

Spent the weekend here for my daughter’s wedding located nearby in Coloma. The cottage was amazing and so clean! Very nice and quiet location. We wish we could have spent more time there but the wedding kept us pretty busy. Will definitely be back when we can enjoy it more!

Absolute magical!

There is something absolutely magical about this property and it’s host! On our prior trip to this property, as its very first guests, we absolutely fell in love with it. Our family experienced one of the best family vacations that we could ever hope for. This year we were extremely lucky to have the opportunity to experience that again. From the moment that we pulled in the driveway to the very last seconds of our stay, it was absolutely wonderful. It simply felt like coming home. This may sound weird but for me personally, since I love to cook, one of my tests for any property are the conditions of the pots/pans and cooking utilities. Unfortunately, we have run into this issue several times with other properties where we had to find and travel to a store just to buy a useable pot and/or a pan just to cook. However, this property had everything that we could need and more…. plenty of everything! The house, the yard, the patio, to the dock…..everything was very clean, comfortable, and in working order. I wish we had something negative to share but the truth of the matter is that we don’t! Other than mother nature raining on us a couple of days, everything was completely perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay or a better host than Beth! She is absolutely the best host that we have ever had the pleasure of working with (several times now)!!!! If you are considering this property, stop thinking about it and just do it. I would highly recommend it

Loved this quiet house on a lovely lake

We had such a lovely week at this property. The house was comfortable with a nice kitchen, cozy living room, and great views of the lake. We spent many hours relaxing on the patio watching the birds and made ample use of the kayaks. The lake was quiet and calm, with minimal boat traffic and no wakes. Paddling in the evening was magical - we watched bald eagles and osprey fishing and identified over a dozen different kinds of birds. Loved the views of the sunset from the bench on the pier, and really appreciated the tip from the host on pizza delivery from a local restaurant. (We worked up an appetite with all that paddling). All around we had a great stay.

Cute place

The house is small, but nice. The kitchen is well-stocked. One of the AC units looked to have mold throughout so we were afraid to turn it on, but the ceiling fan helped keep it cool. Something that was a change from the many other home rentals that we've stayed at is that there were multiple pages of rules and cleaning duties to complete prior to check out. It left a pretty un-homey feeling in what otherwise would have been a pretty cozy place.

For those not about to camp

We were thrilled to find this place so close to Camp Phillip, where our kids attend each year. It’s just a three-minute drive, making it super convenient to drop off and pick up our day camper and return for the entertaining campfires in the evening. We were especially grateful for not having to rough it ourselves as we had quite a lot of rain. The master bedroom is a nice size. The two other rooms are small but worked just fine for our kids. The bathroom has a fairly tight shower, no bathtub (which was fine for our half-week stay). We appreciated the full kitchen, with reverse osmosis drinking water faucet and garbage disposal. The days we stayed were cooler, so the two window AC units weren’t cranking constantly, but they seemed to do a sufficient job when needed. We made some use of the Roku and one of the several games provided and enjoyed the view toward the lake and the bird activity. Visitors on warmer, dryer days can use the peddle boat, kayaks, and fire pit. I recommend this place for staying in the Wautoma area!

Family chill

My boys and I stayed for the weekend to get away and relax. The cabin is great, my boys loved it. We spent time outside on the ice fishing and the neighbours are great. The fireplace was awsome bonis warming up after getting back inside. The view from the is nice and i can only imagine how nice it will be in the summer. The cabin was everything we could ask for, super clean and cosy. We will come back in the summer.

Fabulous stay. House was cute and charming. Went to the ski hill and had a blast! Short drive back home to relax by the fire and ring in the new year. I bet summer on the lake would be fantastic, hope to return.
