Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
A lakeside retreat to call your own (at least for a little while). This two bedroom, one bath scenic cottage sits on approximately 250 feet of waterfront where you have a lake view from the huge screen porch. An open floor plan with fully furnished kitchen, beds, and full bath will make this an exceptional getaway. Nestled deep in the forest, the dock is accessible by a path that is steep in places or staircase plus steep timber steps with no handrail. Water depth at dock is shallow.

The space
Our cottage has several smart home features that require a minimal amount of basic modern technology knowledge. If you are not comfortable using a keypad door lock, touchscreen, thermostat, smart TVs without cable, or know how to connect your personal devices to our Wi-Fi network, this is probably not the place for you. The lake and dock are not at all handicap accessible and the path as well as staircase with timber steps are steep with no handrails. If you are still reading, I know you will love the home's open floorplan with living, dining, and kitchen all together, and bath plus bedrooms on other end of house. There is a huge screen porch down the full length of the house plus a covered front porch. The boathouse is screened and has a light/fan/electricity and dining area. There is also a hammock and swing up by the house with a fire pit, small charcoal grill, and outdoor seating. There are timber stairs leading down the hill to the water or a path around the woods but no handrails to the water. We have most needs for babies/ small children included so no need to bring your pack-n-play, high chair, potty, hiking backpack or toys. We have 2 smart TVs, DVD player, and WiFi but not cable. We upgraded our hot water heater and HVAC units recently and washer/dryer are on-site. Other items available by request are strollers, additional hiking backpacks, baby floats and more toys. Pedal boat and floats are included for free; kayaks are available for rent. Early/late check in/checkout acceptable when available. Please note- this cottage is in the forest and next to water and comes with all the normal perks of nature.. this includes mosquitoes, spiders, and ants.. we do our best to make your stay as pest-free as possible (regular service) but please understand the environment you are choosing. Message with any other questions!

Guest access
Our home is your home. You are welcome to use anything in the house but please leave it in the same (or better) condition as you found it. If you use all the shampoo, bug spray, sunscreen, etc, please let us know so we can replace it for our next guests. If you break something, please let us know about that too. Kitchen items, linens and towels are all provided. We have 2 smart TVs, DVDs, and wifi as well as board games and puzzles. We ask that if you have a large group or used most of the towels/sheets provided that you throw your linens in the washer and start a load drying if possible (no need to fold) before you go. Please be careful about leaving food out, this year we haven’t had any problems but sugar ants have been an issue in the past! Also note that we try to clear the spider webs on the porch and dock before you arrive but those guys are so fast at making new ones that you will likely see a few. If you plan to complain about being in nature, this isn’t the place for you!

Other things to note
We have a pedal boat that you are welcome to use as well as random older fishing gear located down at the dock/boathouse. Let us know if you would like to bring your own boat so we can check the water level needed for yours.
Kayaks are available for rent with waiver of liability.

Neighborhood highlights

There are less than 10 homes in our quiet little cove which locals call the Cobb's Creek Cove because there is a natural spring-fed creek that empties into the lake right by our house. The road Zane Trail is gravel but well maintained and suitable for very low vehicles. Our house is at the end of the road on about an acre surrounding the end of the lake. Great for fishing and nature watching and very secluded!
