Review of J. T.'s stay in Jul 2023
Guest Comments: We just returned home and want to express our sincere thanks to the owner and cottage care rentals. The hiccup with the fridge slowed us down for a bit but the whole week was great. We even met a lovely couple across the lake who helped with refrigeration services. On Saturday, there was a wedding directly across from the cottage - it was amazing. Such a nice lake and location. Our granddaughter paddle boarded and swam every day. The neighbors next door invited her to use the water trampoline. Our son caught about a 5 lb. bass off the dock. The outdoor shower was a big hit! Thanks to all for a wonderful vacation. A pleasure to do business with Cottage Care again! The Thompsons
Review of K. G.'s stay in Aug 2020

Review of J. H.'s stay in Jul 2020
Guest Comments: This was our second year here and we really like it!
Review of G. G.'s stay in Jul 2019
Guest Comments: The cottage was exactly what we were hoping for. It was very spacious and had everything we needed. We spent 90% of our time outside where the lake was amazingly swimable and having the beach area is great for the kids. We're planning on coming back to the same cottage again next year!
