Very nice older 2&2. We have stayed here before and like it very much. A peaceful hour in the fishing chairs at the end of the dock are great place to kick back.

My family including my husband, two daughters (5 and 8), and my mom and sister all had an enjoyable stay at the cottage. We enjoyed the fireworks display from the deck, and the parade in a nearby town. It was relaxing and fun!

Average
It was an okay place and the owner was accommodating, but for the amount of money we had to spend, we thought it should be more high end. We have stayed in several other places that were a lot nicer for less money.

Hometown visit
My husband grew up on Koontz lake. It was our first time visiting in twenty years and bringing our daughter. She had never seen the lake or area that her Dad grew up.
Perfect location and beautiful lake views. We enjoyed a meal on the deck and night and coffee in the morning.

Our son played in the Junior College National Championship at the Swan Lake Golf Resort. This property was just 5 minutes from the course. It was so nice to come back to the lake house and relax after a long day of golf.

Ladies Retreat!
The house was just the right size and accessible for older adults. It was clean and had all the necessary amenities. It's a nice size lake, the water is shallow by the pier so you can swim and float. We even rented a pontoon!

Family getaway
We usually go to Florida every summer for our family vacation but due to me being in a really bad car accident a few months ago we decided to do something within driving distance. I thought a house on the lake was just what we needed, and I was right! It's very peaceful and allowed us to get some quality time together. There's not much to do around there but honestly I think that helped with family bonding time. If we decide to do something like this again I'd definitely book here again! Only regret, Tuesday - Saturday wasn't enough, I wish I would've booked a whole week!

Owner was very quick to respond. House was clean, location was convenient, and the lake was beautiful! The pier in the pictures had been pulled out of the water before our stay, but other than that, we had an amazing weekend.
