Peaceful & Perfect

Everything about this home is comfortable and conducive to a relaxing time watching the lake and listening to the sounds of nature. The decor in the room truly embodies the nautical theme and really adds to the joy of the home. We were visiting family in the area and can't wait to return to stay in Charlie's Cottage.

Couples weekend

Charlie’s cottage was amazing. The house was so clean and comfortable. There were 6 of us and there was plenty of space for us. The cottage is very well stocked. If you are looking to shut off and relax this is the perfect place. The owners Susie and Steve very so quick to respond to question /suggestions. Would definitely rent here again.

Amazing Property

We had a great weekend retreat focused on rest and relaxation. The Lakeside cottage was beautiful and our only complaint was the weather wasn’t warm enough to enjoy the back deck. I strongly recommend this beautiful place for a small group! Thanks to the hosts for a great property!

Perfect weekend with family.

Invited family from out of town for Clinton HS homecoming. The property was spotless. Outside beautifully maintained. It was so pretty the kids wanted their homecoming pictures taken on site. Very peaceful at night and in the morning for the adults sitting on the deck. Hosts were perfect. Quick response to any question. Beautiful and peaceful weekend.
