Warm Cozy Cottage on Mt Morris Lake minutes from Nordic Mtn adventures & S’more
Quiet, cozy, cottage lake front with nice outdoor patio area for grilling and backyard area for relaxing and bon fires (wood is provided for bon fires). Large, three section, pier perfect for fishing off of all day and night. There are fishing poles in the cottage for guests to use. During the winter you can ice fish on the lake right out your back door. The inside of the cottage has two bedrooms with either a full or queen size bed along with one dresser, as well as two bathrooms, two living rooms with two televisions, a kitchen space with eat in area, and a laundry room. The two couches on the left side of the cottage, when facing the lake, lay flat for individuals to sleep on. There are plenty of additional sheets, blankets, and pillows in the wall closet to use. There is also an air mattress provided for use. Patio and bbq grill outside in the backyard with a table and chairs for outdoor eating. Lots of outdoor seating. There is a hammock by the lake. The Trading Post, a bar/restaurant that serves food and drinks is near by as well as a coffee shop, the Mt Morris Mill, that has smoothies, coffee, and ice cream. The Hideaway, a bar/restaurant, a bit further down the road, is great for food and drinks too. Wautoma is nearby for grocery shopping, marinas, bars, restaurants, and ad hoc shopping as well. Spectacular fishing and swimming lake during the summer. Lots of biking and hiking paths nearby. Snow Skiing, tubing, and snowmobiling paths just a few minutes away for winter fun at Nordic Mountain. There are snowmobiling paths all around the Knest. The cottage has all the essentials of a home away from home. For the first time the Knepper’s Knest has been open to the public to enjoy, after 70 years, it’s time to share the love. Hope you find the cottage and Mt Morris as peaceful, serene, relaxing, restorative, and a little something good for your soul. Give yourself, your friends, your family, a little slice of heaven on earth and spends few days at the Knepper’s Knest and enjoy what little old Mt Morris has to offer, then explore the near by towns, Wautoma, Wild Rose, Redgranite, Saxville, and even Waupauca which is a bit further a way. The Wisconsin Dells is only an hour away. There is a lot of action and fun going on there if you are looking for action.

Kitchen utensil drawer had mouse feces in it. Upper cabinets with dishes have a bad smell. Mouse urine? Our son brought clean dishes from home on his way. Two of the four burners worked on stove and oven door doesn't shut all the way. Dock area was very weedy, although a large rake was provided. A large pile of weeds at the dock steps looked like they've been there a long time. Sewer cover next to back patio gushed out the top and over the patio bricks while shower was in use. Paddle boat under water at deck.Beds were comfortable and clean. We appreciated the notes and communication from the house keeper. House has potential.

We had a nice trip to Mt. Morris lake. This cabin is perfect for two couples with the setup of two bedrooms and two baths. We spent most of our time outside. The lake was a bit weedy this year but being so close to the public beach was a huge plus since they keep the swimming area clear. We enjoyed the firepit almost every night. We also rented a pontoon and the hookup to the pier was easy and very convenient. Susan was very easy to communicate with before and during our stay. We also had a vist from Robin, the caretaker, after a big storm just to make sure we were OK. There was a lot of random owner items filling the spaces in the kitchen (old condiments, alcohol, and dog food for example) which attracted mice. The cabinets also had an offputting smell when opened (old or wet wood?) so we used paper plates and plastic utensils as much as possible. A little organizing and a deep clean could make this a 10/10 rental.

love the lake!
We had a fun and relaxing stay at this cozy cottage. The lake was beautiful. We floated on paddle boards, took out our kayaks, fished, and sat on tubes and floated around on the hot days. We liked the peddle boat also. The cottage had plenty of outdoor chairs that we used to watch great fireworks from the neighbors nearby, the activity on the lake, sit around the campfire and picnic outside. Inside had all we needed for the few days we stayed, and comfortable beds. Store was nearby and The food and atmosphere at The Trading Post was great! We didn't leave much because the Lake was the reason we came and we weren't disappointed by all the activity on the lake. Thanks for letting us stay!

Beautiful Setting, But Needs Serious Cleaning and Upkeep
The outdoor space is beautiful, with a great pier, fire pit, paddle boat (which we cleaned ourselves), and lots of deer. The washer/dryer were great, and the Keurig with coffee pods was appreciated. The beds were comfortable.However, the home was not clean or guest-ready. There were mouse droppings, cobwebs, spiders, and bugs everywhere—on ceilings, corners, and around the dining table. The floors were grimy. One shower had hair stuck to the walls and old Band-Aids; the other bathtub was clogged with hair and grime. The fridge had open soda cans and expired food, including marshmallows from 2022. Two stove burners didn’t work, and we shut off the gas due to a faint smell.The Wi-Fi and porch lights didn’t work when we arrived, but the host sent someone out the next day. Even after that, the internet was very weak (understandable in a remote area), and none of the TVs worked. The DVD player was broken, and the Wii had no controllers.There were no checkout instructions, but we followed typical Airbnb/Vrbo etiquette. The host was responsive, apologetic, and refunded the cleaning fee plus a bit more. Our trip wasn’t ruined, but my kids were scared to sleep due to the bugs. This place has charm but needs deep cleaning and better upkeep to be ready for guests

The cottage was well stocked and comfortable for my family. Bonus that it was located near my husband’s family. The lake is active - great fishing, boating and swimming.
