About this property

Lake front property with a relaxing front deck overlooking Bristol Lake

Quiet 2 bedroom lake cottage. Enjoy peaceful nights watching the stars while sitting by the campfire. Wake up to a beautiful morning sunrise as this property faces the east side of the lake. Walk out the front door and the water is merely 10-15 steps from the deck. The deck seats 9 people and has a huge sunbrella to shade you while you enjoy your outdoor time.

Beautiful week!
This cottage had everything we needed. We loved so much about it…the quiet location, the fire pit, the boat dock, the large deck with seating outside, the gas grill and the use of the kayaks, the large windows facing the lake to view the beautiful sunrises and the view of the lake! The sunrises shining directly into the large windows in the back bedroom did affect the temperature back there. We brought extra fans and it helped. The small shower was interesting, but in no way would it keep us from staying there again. The main living area was nicely renovated and comfortable. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances and all were really nice as well. The owners (Tara and Tim) of this cottage helped us out tremendously, as the original location we had rented appeared to not have been visited by anyone but animals and birds in several months. Maybe some squatters, but no way to tell. No reason to harp on that, Tara and Tim, rushed to get the unit ready for us right after some other folks had just checked out. We would certainly look at staying here again, next year! Thank you!

Time Away
This was truly an escape from our everyday hustle and bustle. The cottage was very cozy and the kitchen was well stocked. Neighbors were also warm and friendly offering dry kindling for a fire.

Perfect for a quiet get-a-way
This cottage was just right for our family of 4. Loved being right on the water. It was very nice to be able to use the Kayak's and paddle board. We enjoyed our time so much we've already booked it for another time.

We had to go back for a 2nd stay!
Me and my kiddos had such a great time here in August 2022 that upon returning home we immediately set up our return stay for October 2022! From the house, lake, neighbors and Tara’s hospitality….wonderful!! This is the only place we have ever stayed at more than once and we are looking forward to 2023 so we can get back there again…. Love it!!

Birthday weekend away
This was a great location to stay, great views.. We enjoy the sunrise and got to enjoy and also full moon rise at this location. Enjoyed the views at both the fire pit right on the water, or on the nice and comfy deck. This is a great cabin to visit its very clean quiet and comfy stay. Tara is also a great host in answering any questions we may have had. Definitely a place to visit again..

Beautiful Lake Bristol Views
The Booking and check in process were simple and easy with Tara being so communicative and helpful! The property was clean, neat, and offered all the amenities we needed. My girlfriend and I stayed in mid-September and had great weather! We really enjoyed how close the property was to the water and watching the sunrise/sunsets from the personal fire pit area feet from the lake. Had some great food in Battle Creek at Umami Ramen and Waco. Thanks so much Tara! We definitely would reccomnd the property!!
