Peaceful lake retreat
The cottage is located on a peninsula on Rose Lake. This property is not on the water but does have water views from the backyard patio area with just one row of houses separating you from the lake. Your group will have plenty of seating in the living room with a brand new sectional sofa. There is also a smart TV in the living room with Netflix access, or you are welcome to log in to your own personal apps for viewing. There is wifi access allowing internet connection throughout the house. We have a desk area that offers a workspace if you find yourself needing to take care of some business during your time away from home. The kitchen is fully stocked if you wish to cook yourselves a meal during your stay. If you prefer to take the night off, there is food delivery available from several restaurants in Coldwater. Enjoy a hot cup of coffee on the back patio in the morning and watch the lake come alive. Each bedroom offers a king bed with a brand new mattress ensuring you a restful night. Both bedrooms also have smart TVs with Netflix access. The couch is large enough for extra group members to sleep for the night, or there is a blow up queen size mattress if needed. Window AC units are present in both bedrooms as well as the living room easily cooling down the house on those hot summer days. Outside on the back patio are several chairs offering a shaded seat under our large tree with water views. This cottage is on a quiet road that offers a sense of immediate relaxation when outside and gives you ample opportunity to take in the nature and wildlife sights. The public boat launch is just 5 minutes away. Shopping at the outlets or a trip to Coldwater are both just 15 minute car rides. This house is our own personal retreat to get away from the hustle and bustle of busy life at home; we are excited to welcome you to enjoy your own piece of relaxation when you stay here and hope you find the home to be the same calming, peaceful escape that we do.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with Netflix. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk.

Was a nice quiet place to spend my birthday weekend with my fiance. Everything was just perfect. The host left a goodie basket which was awesome. Will definitely consider coming back!

Beautiful home on a quiet lane on the lake. The home was stocked with anything we may have needed, including a basket of goodies by the front door! The home is located near local restaurants and grocery stores. It was a wonderful weekend getaway for my husband and I!

The inside of the home was great. Up to date, clean, comfortable beds, everything functioned well. The only cons of the house were the outside. As described, this home has no lake access. But what I didn't realize is that there is no public access near the house either. So unless you know someone on the lake, which we did thankfully, you can't really access the lake (there's a public boat launch but no swimming there either). And while you can see the lake in between the other houses that front the lake, the outdoor space could use some work. You have to access by going into the garage and then to the backyard. And the patio itself is weedy with 4 pretty worn slingback stackable chairs and a makeshift fire circle. We absolutely sat outside and drank our morning coffee there, it just wasn't a very inviting space. Overall the place suited our needs because I have a relative nearby who is on the lake and we just needed extra beds and a bathroom, so this place delivered! For travelers who are looking for a true vacation property, this might not be the best fit for you.

My husband and I really enjoyed this cozy, newly renovated house. It is perfectly located near Coldwater lake, which is where we put our boat in. The owner was very understanding of the unfortunate jam we got into with some truck problems prior to our visit. We highly suggest staying here!

Peaceful hidden gem
We loved everything about this place. Small but big enough. It had everything we needed to stay and cook meals and just relax in quiet. Close but far enough from family we were visiting that they didn’t try to pop over uninvited. Calming for my autistic adult son who gets overwhelmed by our very loving, happy and loud in laws. The couches fit us all comfortably to watch a movie together. Loved that anything I thought and did forget from home was available in the rental. Thank you! We walked the neighborhood and felt its welcome and friendliness. Important for travelers of color. A slight suggestion to upgrade the chairs or add a different eating arrangement (round table possibly) so that four can eat together. Our family is big on that and that is the ONLY thing I would change. Otherwise great place. Thanks again!

Nicely remodeled lakeview house
Clean, stocked with what was needed to cook. The view of the lake from the house was nice; to access water we went across the lake to the park. The back yard was especially nice for the children to play in. The neighborhood seemed quiet. Our event was in Hillsdale so the drive was long.

My husband, kids and I stayed here for a Labor Day getaway. It was very comfortable, the beds and the sectional couch specifically! We would definitely stay here again!
