The Lake House is a quiet, cozy year round home. Either watch the activities on the Lake or take out the row boat to fish or the paddle boat to have a bit of fun and exercise. Lake House is a newly remodeled 2-bedroom house, with a combined bathroom/laundry room. The sitting room allows you a space to relax. Check out the shelves, you will find some games, or you might want to check out a book. The cozy sunroom has a great view of Buffalo Lake, and a great place to have your morning coffee. The Lake House is fully furnished. The kitchen is equipped with everything you may need to cook or bake a sweet treat. You can relax on the patio, or move closer to the lake, sit on the bench and enjoy the sights and sounds. If luck, has it, you may see the eagle that nests further down the lake. Take a short walk to downtown, visit the shops, or take your picture at the waterfalls, if you prefer to stay close to the Lake House, you can roam the property, hopefully there will be flowers blooming. Check out the metal flowers, the bowling balls and even some cement leaves.... a few things I do to keep myself busy.

The Lake House is not only for a summer get away, but there are many activities to do in the winter months. You can ice fish and snowmobile. Cascade Mountain is a 30 minute drive, a family-friendly resort where you can ski, snowboard, snow tubing with kid programs. Check it out, follow the link.

Great stay

Perfect cottage. The home was well-appointed and spotless. We had a nice relaxing weekend away in the middle of January. Looking forward to coming back when the temperature is above freezing. :). The cottage was exactly as advertised and the property owner is a great communicator. If in town I highly recommend lunch at Oyster Crackers.

House on the lake

The house is very charming. For the most part clean. The outside of the house was quite dirty though with grass clippings and webs all over near the entrance. There were spiders in corners inside the house, webs in many areas outside by the door, being someone with a fear of such creatures I thoroughly did not enjoy this issue! If these issues were rectified I would definitely stay again. Beautiful views outside the back of the house.

Great property

Very open and very well kept. Clean and inviting. This lake front property is 3 minutes from main street Montello. Had a great thin crust pizza from Rivers Edge Saloon. Highly recommend. The wrap around, screened in porch is a really nice, comfortable and relaxing sitting area. The bed's were super comfortable and the bathroom had a great working shower and was very clean. Only had a 2 night stay and would most definitely book again if the opportunity should arise. Thanks for offering such a nice home!

Peaceful Lakehouse

Great location with a nice view of the lake in a quiet neighborhood. You can walk down to the dock, where you can sit on the bench and relax. We enjoyed the fire ring in the backyard also. The house is nicely remodeled with beautiful views of the yard and lake from the kitchen, sunroom, and one bedroom. We also enjoyed walking to Montello's main street and the state's tallest tree.

Pleasant surprise - beautiful surroundings!

My daughters and I had a wonderful weekend getaway at this comfortable home on Buffalo Lake. The house is beautifully furnished with state of the art amenities. The gracious owners are extremely accommodating and truly care about the comfort and experiences of their guests. The house was impeccably clean, equipped with all the necessary essentials. The property is refreshing with all forms of wildlife serenaded by a vast population of birds. The lake is beautiful and refreshing, active with fish, turtles and frogs. If I ever wanted to write a book; this property would be an optimal location! #goals. Enjoy!

We've stayed at the house before. It was totally updated and they did a wonderful job. Mary provides anything that you might need at your home away from home. For example, I've stayed at other places where it was challenging to cook a meal with what was provided. That's not the case here. Access to the house was easy. When I found one small possible inconvenience, Mary remedied it right away. One suggestion I have is to outline expectations around snow removal. While the walkway was shoveled when we arrived, it could have used another shoveling during our time there. There was a shovel, which we did use, but if it had snowed more significantly, I don't think we should have been required to take care of removing it. There was parking identified, but it was a bit challenging to be sure we were parking in the correct spot due to snow covering. Overall, this is a very nice house and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.
