Our stay at Rustic Retreats was excellent. We loved the relaxing and cozy feel along with the rustic design elements.
It was extremely clean and very comfortable. We were made to feel very welcomed.
We would book this cottage again.
Property was amazing. Perfect for weekend getaway. We had booked a guided ice fishing trip on lake desolation so this property was the perfect location. Place was super clean with all the amenities you could ask for as well as being very secluded and private. I would highly recommend and would book again!!
The cottage was very cute, cozy, and exceeded our expectations with the host being always readily available to answer questions we had. Definitely recommend if you want to have a weekend gateway.
Absolutely adorable little cottage in the woods. The owners didn’t forget a thing. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a getaway in the woods with all bells and whistles. If you forgot to pack something they most likely will have it for you! Thank you Rustica Retreat for a special weekend away from home!
