This was a quick one night stay. Perfect for what we needed. Would have liked to spend a weekend instead of one night. The deck/patio near the lake was superb to relax and decompress after a long day.

Lakefront Fun

The house is cute with a great view of the lake. We spendt time eating on the patio and enjoying the view. There were good restaurants not too far away, and a Dollar General that we had to run to for some things. The check-in and check-out process was so easy.

Cozy cottage. Nice personal touches. Great hosts.

My husband and I stayed a couple nights for an anniversary getaway. The peaceful lakeview is perfect for the cozy cottage. We watched turtles, swans, and ducks and listened to the sounds of a loon and other songbirds. The hosts were communicative and friendly the entire process. We would stay here again.

This cute little cottage is the perfect place to get away. It has all the amenities you’ll need and having the dock for our boat right out the door was an added bonus.

Nice place

Nice place, quite neighborhood by the lake, beautiful view. The only thing I would say we didn't like was the amount of dust on the fans, hairs in the bathroom and also the floor was not swept, my husband swept the floor and it was dirty.

We had a wonderful stay at this house! It was incredibly clean and cozy; peaceful and welcoming! We loved having the lake front property for our quick stay, too! Everything was truly so nice here, I would book another stay at this lovely home in a heartbeat if our travels took us back down to Colon! Thank you!

Weekend stay

The small house was clean and provided necessary amenities. Parking was tight for two vehicles. The neighbor across the street used cinder blocks in their yard to prevent anyone from using their property to maneuver into the rental driveway. The road was the size of a path!
