Modern Tiny Cottage on Eagle Lake with South facing Private Beach

8/10 Good
"Nice little spot. Ability to have family come over by boat was a bonus. Would have been wonderful for me if the beach/lake was a little deeper. Would be great for kids. Didn’t find I was missing anything except a fire pit. The indoor gas fireplace sure helped on the cold rainy days. Quick responses from owner made questions very easy. Check in process was a breeze. There’s potential for a return visit if I’m welcomed. Thanks for sharing your peaceful spot."

The L&S Lodge on Eagle Lake

10/10 Excellent
"Our three generation family group had an excellent stay. The views of Eagle Lake from the cabin are spectacular! The expansive deck with comfortable Adirondack chairs provide great additional space for enjoying the views. The dock is well built with excellent bumpers and power cords to charge the boat batteries. We had plenty of parking next to the cabin for our vehicles and trailers. The co-hosts were very responsive to questions and requests. "
