Gorgeous getaway

We had a wonderful stay here over three nights in mid-April. We loved the style and personal touches of the property, and our dog loved how dog friendly it was and especially loved being able to prance around the beach and pull sticks out of the lake. Our visit was fantastic, and we’d happily come back sometime — well worth it!

Relaxing and comfortable

The house was clean and well set up and the architecture was really cool! It was too cold to kayak but we enjoyed the lake view and the nearby hiking.

Lovely Lakefront Cottage

Comfortable, quiet, well-appointed cottage on beautiful Forest Lake. Great three-season enclosed porch overlooking the lake. We enjoyed the spectacular views from the lovely rustic dining table also on the three season porch. If you're looking for an out-of-the way, special escape, look no further. Mink Hollow is a little gem!

Lovely lakefront house in the woods

Nice large older cottage with some significant renovations (kitchen and bathroom) while maintaining lots of charm throughout. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed in first floor "master", nice shower, very comfortable living room furniture, big table on sun porch for a family. We did not take advantage of many of the listed amenities such as grill, canoe, outdoor chairs, etc. Good wifi. Two tvs that we didn't turn on. Washer and dryer downstairs. The place was very clean with no trace that dogs or other pets are sometimes in the house. Anyone with mobility challenges should consult with the very responsive owner, Jamie, about their limitations, as you cannot really avoid some stairs.
