Much love, respect, and work has gone into creating the Big House at Cape Catherine to be appreciated by family gatherings and groups wanting to bond and enjoy Lake Catherine for its beauty, adventure and peacefulness in a clean, well-cared for home. Outdoor security cameras with views of the entrances and exits have been installed. They are only monitored if neighbors inform us of excessive noise (past quiet hours) or parties occurring. We value and respect the privacy of our guests.

Cape Catherine is a private peninsula on Lake Catherine. The peninsula is home to 3 houses; The Big House, The Little Cabin and The Cottage. You will be sharing the peninsula with guests in the other two houses. However, you will be the only one to have access to the Big House. The Big House is not shared with anyone.

I am just a phone call or text away if you have any questions. We have a handyman on call if you need something we can not resolve over the phone or text.

Quiet Stay in Large House

Reserving & checking in was an easy process. Though the 4 PM checkin time is late & emphasized in each communication. The later check in was part of the reason I did a 4 star rating. The other reasons was because the property could be better kept up. Several of the landlord special projects are starting to fail. There are many tiles loose & grout missing as well as electrical issues throughout the house. The shower curtain wouldn’t stay up & ended up falling on me. One of the bathrooms is just a bath, which isn’t ideal for 3 adult couples & the master bathroom doesn’t have a door. The property allows dogs, which is great but it does smell like dogs & could be cleaner. Driving to the house, the neighborhood is a little rough but we hardly saw anyone & had a quiet stay. It is a beautiful property. It has multiple houses to rent out, which would be great for large gatherings. Just keep in mind that may mean you’re sharing the property. There are a lot of cameras on the outside of the property, while I appreciate the security, but it did always feel like we were being watched. We really loved that each of the rooms had a king bed for each of the couples so everyone felt like they got a good room. The guys loved the air hockey & pool tables. The huge decks were great & cushions were in good condition to sit on. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances & even some seasonings if you needed them. Overall everyone was pleased with our stay & would come back.

Peaceful Perfection!!

PERFECTION!!! Wanted to take my parents away for a quiet and relaxing quick break at the lake. The Big House at Cape Catherine was beyond what we even hoped for. The house is beautiful and inviting, it felt like home as soon we arrived. It was clean, stocked with necessities, and adorably decorated. My parents loved sitting on the balcony decks listening to the water and watching the ducks. The peninsula was private, quiet, and peaceful. Although we didn’t venture out into the water, there were plenty of water equipment (kayaks, canoes, etc.) available. Our host, Laura, was wonderful to deal with. She responded quickly to all of my questions and was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend both the Big House and Laura as a host. We hope to return to the Big House on Cape Catherine for a longer stay in the future!!
