    Quiet get-away!
    This cottage is a very special place. It has magical qualities. It’s perfect for the couple that wants to get away and have quiet time together. We so enjoyed our time together at the cottage. We had a sunny day and a rainy day. It was a slow, quiet rain perfect for staying in or a short walk. It was nice to experience both. There are so many things to do that there is no reason to get bored. We grilled out one night and then drove into Albion for dinner on the second night. Albion is within a 10 minute drive. A very nice little town. This is actually my second’s visit to the cottage, and I cannot wait to visit again! Next visit is to see the snow on the trees and the ground. I can only imagine how beautiful it’s going to be! The hostess is so kind and has everything just perfect for you!

    My mom and I had a wonderful time there celebrating her 70th Birthday! We relaxed, took in the scenery, entertained some family. Rebecca and Don were awesome hosts. We will definitely book again.

    Awesome place.
    Very quaint and private. The grounds are roomy with a private lake for fishing and kayaking. The cottage is spacious with amenities provided. The hosts are perfect and bring fresh eggs in the morning. This was our 4th year staying here.

    From the moment I entered the property I was mesmerized! Everything was perfect. The moment I looked at the front door and stepped through I relaxed. The inside was charming. I quickly looked at all the rooms. The screened in sunroom on the side quickly became my favorite room! Each morning I made my way out here and sat and enjoyed listening to the wildlife. Hearing the peacock in the distance was perfect! The grounds were also mesmerizing! Everywhere you turned there was something to look at or to sit down and relax. A little fishing shed where you could clean your fish after you caught it in the lake. Because there was a boat to row out in the lake and fish out of. A little tea house to sit in to read and relax. Walk around the lake, seats to fish as you walk, ending with the chickens, silkies, and peacocks. There was more, but you’ll need to go out there and discover it for yourself! It’s beauty cannot be rivaled! Did I say honeymoon spot?

    Hidden gem
    Relax hike enjoy nature at it best! Beautiful well maintained trails. Enough to spend hours wandering around and finding treasures along the way. The lake, which is larger than it looks and is clean and safe for swimming with lots of piers to jump off. The lawn leading to the lake was mowed and a perfect place to play fetch. The house was very clean and the amenities were more than adequate. Much larger than expected. Very comfortable and welcoming. Rebecca and Don, owners, were the best host. My first morning, Rebecca brought me fresh eggs for breakfast. There raise peacocks pheasant and hens of all types. Rebecca and Don showed me around the birds and the historical buildings they have saved and remodeled for all sorts of uses like hen houses and pens for the other birds. A must see! Kids will love finding frogs and all sorts of fun critters. Bugs were non-existent; which allowed sitting outside and looking at stars or having a fire in the fire pit. Overall, great people who will do anything to help make your visit more enjoyable. I enjoyed many conversations with Rebecca and Don. Please consider this property for a family (plenty of room for kids to sleep). This is not a primitive property, you have everything you need from 3 fireplaces, internet, large tv, lots of sitting areas inside, outside, and a nice screened in porch and a full stocked kitchen. If you go, you will return! I know we will. Thank you!

    A unique and peacefully quite property. Go out on the lake in the rowboat and catch some fish or just drift along and take in natures activities. You can hike around the lake and explore and check out all the buildings if you wish. They even have peacocks and chickens. The house is clean and well maintained. You will find everything you need except groceries. If you like peace and quiet this place has your name on it.
