We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lakefront house. It was clean, comfortable, very quiet and peaceful. The small lake was perfect for kayaking and paddle boating or just sitting and being still, watching the fish jump and even perhaps catching a sight of a bald eagle fishing. The kitchen had plenty of space and everything needed for whatever you wanted to prepare. The listing made it sound like it was the whole house however the owners live in an addition to the original house and you share the outdoor area. This was not a problem. Kevin and Tami were great hosts, available if we had questions and lovely to chat with but otherwise not around. We hope to go back again!

Great Lake Side Retreat

Spent three nights and really enjoyed our stay. Especially loved how comfortable the bed was. We were very tired following a busy week before arriving. Wish we had more energy to enjoy the lake. We did have a nice trip around the lake in their paddle boat and my husband enjoyed a quick swim. We were very entertained by all the wildlife, including a bald eagle. It was a relaxing stay for for us which was just what the doctor ordered. We will definitely be back if we are in the area again.

Fabulous getaway! Pictures do not do this lakefront home justice. Extremely spacious and welcoming.. you would never know that this home was even attached to the owner’s home. Wish we could’ve stayed longer to make use of the outdoor lake toys. Know your directions as Verizon cell phone service does not work in that area.. Definitely will be rebooking!

Rustic getaway with all the modern amenities!

This was our third time here, and as usual it did not disappoint!! Lots of sitting areas inside and out, and one of the best appointed kitchens we can remember ever having! Short walk to the water which we greatly appreciated! The fishing was good for May, too!! Tami and Kevin are delightful hosts. Ask Tami about her “Magic Lotion” which she makes herself. Still using it ! It works on achy joints! Looking forward to visit #4!!

Stop Reading and Book it!

Three quick things: 1. The listing is about 15 minutes outside of Montrose, 2. The hosts live in a house connected to the cottage but are super nice and will respect your privacy, and 3. The light switch for the living room is behind the TV. Now go book this place! It is amazing, super clean, and roomy but cozy at the same time. If there is something you need, it’s there, you just haven’t seen it yet. Really. I’ve never left a hotel and felt sad that I was leaving but I was sad to leave here. I really hope to go back someday.

Quite, cozy stay

We had a wonderful time at the quiet lake house retreat. Kevin and Tami were awesome host. They messaged detailed instructions on how to get to the place and it was pitch black out but easy to find. We had no real plans only to relax but found brochures that were left for us and went to a great shooting range not to far and extended our stay to hit a awesome hiking trail that we found on another brochure. Definitely recommend. We will be back this summer since the lake behind the house was frozen but looks like a lot of fun. Thanks again to Kevin and Tami

Charming House for Relaxing

The house had everything we needed and was very cozy with a lovely view of the lake. Unfortunately, our stay was short and the weather turned rainy, but everything you need to play on the water was available. I loved the decor in the home, and it brought back memories of trinkets my family owned. The owner was very nice and quick to respond when we had questions.

Nice overnight on the lake

Enjoyed my brief stay on the lake. The house has everything you need inside and out. I really enjoyed fishing from a kayak in the private lake early in the morning before I checked out. The owners, Kevin & Tami plus the neighbors couldn't have been nicer. It certainly felt secluded, but you are only 20 minutes from downtown Montrose. Would definitely stay here again.

The owners were very personable, the house had a very comfortable rustic nature about it, and it felt like being at home since they provided bottled water, coffee, and every form of convenience one needs when traveling including shower soap & shampoo though we brought our own. From the kitchen, living room, & 4-seasons room there is a view of the beautiful lake, & outdoor seating if one chooses to use them.

We were looking for a place to rest that was beautiful and quiet and this definitely fit what we were looking for. Even with rainy weather we loved the views, the cozy fireplace, and fit in a beautiful hike at the Salt Springs just down the road.

Peaceful and comfy

Our stay was peaceful; the house was comfortable. We loved the views of the lake and mountains. My husband also caught a record number of fish (he does catch-and-releasea). The quiet comfort of the home made our vacation restorative in no small part to the great hosts. The house is roomier than the pictures indicate, and the kitchen is well stocked with a variety of housewares. Highly recommended.
