Great Cottage by Lake St. Helen

We have family with a cottage on the lake. We loved this place as a remote place to stay. Super comfy, well stocked and comfortable beds. Look forward to booking again next year.

Wonderful owner

The owner maintained great communication the whole step of the way. Our party was 6 adults, we knew going in that one room was low ceiling and a kid motif. My adult kids just had fun with it and limbo-ed their day to a start. Definitely better for a family with little kiddos, but we would go back!

About the host

Hosted by Blaise Rosser

We enjoy coming up to the cottage ourselves when it is not rented to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It just feels like everything slows down when we are up there and gives us the opportunity to enjoy some family time.

Why they chose this property

It is a very short drive to the trails and an even shorter walk to the lake.

What makes this property unique

Our cozy little cottage has modern conveniences of wifi, but there are board games and a few decks of cards in the closet if you are trying to get away from all that technology and let the vacation come to you.
