Aaron and Jenn were wonderful hosts who care greatly about guest experience. They were extremely responsive, assisting with all of our questions, before, during, and even after our stay. I would stay at any of their properties again in a heartbeat! They’ve thought of every little detail. No need to bring anything for the kitchen, other than food itself. The home is walking distance to Douglas Beach, Woosah Coffee, the Douglass Rootbeer Barrel, and more. Beds were really comfy too! We enjoyed watching the deer, squirrels, and turkeys as well.

A cozy cottage with plenty of character in a great location. A quiet spot surrounded by woods, but still close enough to the lake and plenty of nearby things to do and great places to eat. Had enough modern features while still maintaining the older feel. Perfect for our group of 4; would definitely stay again if we’re back in the area.
