Already planning to come back!
Certainly one of the best properties we've stayed at in regard to amenities, comfort, and welcoming feel. We enjoyed the treats on arrival. It had all the little things you could need, but in a clean, well organized, and planned way rather than feeling cluttered. There were so many little activities in the house and backyard that the amount of time we spent at the house compared to the lake was more than we planned. That being said, the lake is only about two blocks away and within a 10 minute walk there are multiple restaurants and places to sit for a drink. Multiple places seemed to have live music playing from lunch time to bed time every day we were there, though they were far enough from the cottage it still felt very peaceful in our backyard. We are already trying to find another weekend when the cottage is free to come back!

Everything we needed
This house was a delight for us and groomsmen to stay at for our son's wedding. We had to adjust who was in what house because the upstairs bathroom of this house was in the queen bedroom. Therefore it wasn't going to work for mixed company but we switched to all groomsmen with us and it was perfect. Everything we needed was available. I even made 4 dozen cupcakes for the rehearsal dinner in the kitchen. The young men loved the outdoor area, the games, and the grill. We enjoyed riding bikes along the lake path and walking it as well. Kelly was very quick to respond to questions and very pleasant to visit with. We highly recommend this house!

The house was adorable, and stocked with pretty much anything you could need. Perfect for our weekend getaway for two, but plenty big enough for a group. Super close to basically everything, and the binder provided with local restaurants etc was really helpful!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Casita del Sol. Kelly was an excellent host and was quick to respond to any questions we had. The house is in a great location. It was very clean and well stocked. She even made buckeyes and cookies as a welcome treat! We would definitely stay here again!

This is a great place to stay with wonderful hosts. There is plenty of space and place to connect.
Throughout the time leading up to our stay, we had great communication. So much thought into what people will need was put into the amenities. Along with helpful binders, thoughtful touches of welcome like snacks were included. Games, rooms to relax, fire pits, and outdoor spaces are all perfect for fun together. I highly recommend staying here!

Great place for a family get together.
We had a fun and relaxing long weekend at Kelly's place. The place is roomier that the photos suggest. We really enjoyed the privacy in the yard. The fire pits and gazebo were a big hit. We really appreciated all the little things Kelly provided to make us feel welcome; fresh cookies, extra toiletries in case we forgot anything, treats and towels for doggies. There were also plenty of games both inside and out to keep us entertained. Oh I didn't even mention that is just a short walk to a great path along a beautiful lake.

Amazing get away with the grandkids
We booked this cottage for a two night stay with our grandchildren ranging in age from 2 to 20. What a surprise to find the cottage was perfect for our group. In addition to the hot tub there were numerous activities to keep the kids busy. The air hockey was a favorite with several tournaments being played. The fire pit and the basket of s more goodies was greatly enjoyed. Having stayed at quite a few VRBO s over the years I must say the hosts provided every possible amenity. From plenty of towels and a well stocked kitchen we had everything we needed. Many extras such as body wash, laundry soap, bug spray, sanitizer, and coffee, sugar and spices were an unexpected surprise. We had a great couple of days and would definitely book again.

Perfect
The house was so cute and the attention to detail was amazing, even had doggo stuff for my big boy! Outdoor area is super chill and fenced in giving us some outdoor unleashed time. The owners were easy to contact and sweet as can be. The house is close to everything, including boat ramps, we brought our kyacks and watched the sunset from the water. Highly recommended this property.
