This is a great property. We enjoyed our stay. Our time turned out to be rainy, but we were able to take advantage of the things to do in the house. When we could venture out we enjoyed the water toys and outdoor games provided by the owners. Highly recommend staying at the Koselig Cottage.

A wonderful place to relax

This home is lovely and clean. The views over the lake are calming and relaxing. The house is well-equipped with so many extras so you don’t have to run to the grocery store immediately. The bed was comfortable, the sectional in the living room was great, the four-season porch was delightful. The yard is fenced-in and safe for children. It is a thoughtfully decorated and supplied home that helps you relax.

Great family getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Koselig Cottage. Only wish we could have stayed longer. The house was perfect for our family. Very clean and cozy. We all enjoyed the foosball and arcade games in the basement as well as the outdoor fun of the kayaks and park within walking distance. The host was excellent with communication and created a very relaxing getaway for our family of 7. Would definitely love to return.
