Perfect lake vacation
This was an incredible week to connect with our growing family. Clean, comfortable & spacious home. Plenty of activities to do both at the lake and in the surrounding area. We didn’t need to contact the owners during our stay because there was no reason to. Communication both before our arrival and at check out was met with a prompt reply. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful Family Getaway!
This was our first time renting a cottage for a family getaway and we didn't know what to expect. I can say that it was better than I expected. The description and photos on the website are very accurate and the owners provide pretty much everything you could need. The beach is sandy out into the crystal clear lake, so you can see the bottom and the fish. We spent much of our stay at the beach or kayaking on the lake. The area near the cottage is quiet and peaceful because boaters mostly just putter around on pontoon boats. The cottage feels like you are walking into a model home. The main floor has a bedroom, laundry, bathroom, large kitchen and eating space, plus a comfortably living area. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all our meals including clean and fairly new appliances. We had seven adults and were all able to sleep comfortably on beds with nice clean linens. They even have a wall where you can immortalize your family's stay. Our overall assessment? We booked this cottage again for next summer as soon as we got home.

A wonderful visit!
The home is lovely and as portrayed! It is spacious and the 7 of us (5 children) had plenty of room! We would have reserved for next summer but unfortunately the availability conflicts with schedules. The lake is very pretty and nice for young children! Beautiful morning sunrises! Thank you!

Wonderful lakefront rental
This property was incredibly clean and well stocked. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into what could make the stay most enjoyable. We had a group of 10 and felt like we had ample space, especially for sleeping. The lake and neighborhood are pretty quiet, which was great. The owner was very easy to communicate with.

Toes in the sand!
Our family had an amazing little vacation. The house was very clean and plenty of seating for everyone. Loved that we could bring the dogs too (for an extra charge). The teens loved fishing from the dock and kayaking. They had the basement to themselves which gave my husband and I some privacy for napping. The sandy beach was a great touch. The dogs loved splashing in the water and chilling on the sand. We used the fire pit often to make s’mores and the grill for burgers. There was a snafu with the keypad to get in but the owner was very quick to respond and the problem was solved. Overall we loved our stay and would recommend staying on Jose Lake (pronounced Joe’s Lake).
