Middle Lake House

House exceeded our expectations. We visit Hastings every Thanksgiving to spend the holiday with family that live in Hastings and this was one of our best trips. We were able to have family over a couple meals and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need. We would definitely stay at the home in the future.

Wonderful stay

Wonderful vacation spot on the water. We had a little trouble finding the correct driveway, but are glad we did! Freshly renovated, clean, and reasonably priced for our women's weekend. The owner's pride in the property shows and we enjoyed reading about the reno in the binder. A great mix of the old and new. We'll be back!

Relaxing Stay at the Lake

This house was exactly what we needed. The bedrooms had comfortable beds and the house was spacious enough for our group of 5 adults and 3 small children. The sandy beach and shallow lake area was just right for the littlest ones in our family group. The spacious yard was great for lawn games and we enjoyed fires at night by the fire pit. Check in was seamless and Shawn had prompt replies to our questions.

Family time

Stayed at this amazing home for a long weekend for son’s wedding. Everything we needed was provided and we had such a blast fishing, paddle boating and just relaxing by the lake spending time together .Enjoyed a relaxing fire at night to wind down the day. Perfect spot for 2 1/2 yr old grandson to run around and enjoy the beautiful weather. Definitely will stay here again!

Guys DiscGolf Trip

Perfect spot for our group of 5, we even had 2 more beds in the bunk room open. Big huge dining table for everyone to sit down and eat. house was perfect. Very scenic view looking out at the lake while having morning coffee. Little cold this time of year to take advantage of the lake, but also the price was very fair considering its off season. Exactly what we needed for our trip!

Cute place.

The owners did a nice job of renovating the house and putting a bunk room into the basement. Our 2 children shared the bunk room and left the whole upstairs to us; it was great that there was a full bathroom downstairs, also.

Beautiful lake front home

The house is beautiful, the views are amazing. Loved the peacefulness. Home was very clean, very roomy & kitchen had pretty much everything we needed. The backyard is huge & firepit is a great set up. Great beach! nice to sit your chair in the shallow water. I also loved sitting in the front yard & sipping a drink, very peaceful. Such lovely landscaping as well. I would definitely recommend. The little town is also great! Cute restaurants w/good food. There’s a great park nearby too for the kids. Grocery store & Mega Bev is only 10 minutes away, which was very nice! Movie theater & bowling alley too! Loved our vacation! Thank you!!

Charming front lake cottage is correct

This was an awesome house! We were a group of women who enjoyed the lake, outside around the patio, comfortable beds, nice kitchen, more than enough beds, & a couple of us even tried out the kayaks! Fast replies from Shawn with any questions! We will put this place on our list to return to!!

Warm & Inviting Stay

The house is very nicely done. So much room! Loved sitting on the couch watching the swans swim around on the lake. Would definitely consider again during warmer weather when we could actually utilize the outdoor amenities.
