Great space, professional host
The Cottage is a lovely place to stay. It’s little, but it’s clean (unlike many rentals), cute, charming, and functional. The neighborhood is quiet, secluded, and safe. I’ve stayed at many rentals, and Jason is far and away the most professional host I’ve ever worked with. You won’t be disappointed if you stay here! Highly recommend.

Nice place near the lake.
The property was nice but the furniture was kind of a challenge. The beds and the couch were kind of soft and uncomfortable. Otherwise everything was as described.

Perfect for Us and our K-9.
This cute little cottage house was perfect for us. Our children and grandchildren even visited a couple of times and enjoyed a day playing at the lake. This house is equipped for small children as well as your fur babies. They had toys for the toddlers and cozy dog bed for our dog. We were in want of nothing and had a very enjoyable time. This cottage is very clean well furnished and has every item you could ever need. Jason was quick to reply to texts. Every thing was well explained in the book concerning check-in and out plus local sites to explore. Thank You Jason I plan on spending more time in the future at Numi's cottage.

Awesome Getaway
I truly enjoyed my stay here. The house is clean, bright and full of amenities (they even have a record player and lots of records). Check in and check out was simple. The whole setup is open and inviting. Even though there were neighbors on both sides, it was secluded enough for us to enjoy some rest and relaxation. We were able to see the lake from the front window, which was really nice. The owner was very kind and accommodating, and his responses to any questions I had were fast. Overall, this is a great family or even couples retreat that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for some rest and relaxation.

Fun, clean, and good location
My wife and I wanted a nice long-weekend getaway and found this fun little house. It is located comfortably in a nice, quiet, perfectly safe neighborhood, perfect for day trips in every direction. Although there is no "beach" directly near the house (it's a small boat launch area), there are beaches within nearby driving distances. There are also plenty of nearby towns that offer fun activities. So if you don't mind driving a little or just relaxing at the house itself, then this place is perfect. Both my wife and i truly enjoyed the surroundings and warm fun atmosphere there.

Excellent stay at Baxter Lake
This is an adorable cottage on Baxter Lake with clean, fun decor and every amenity you could need for your stay. The home is exactly as the photos show. The owners clearly put lots of thought into making their guests feel at home. There were plug-in fans in both bedrooms, super comfortable beds, tv options ready to go and a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of convenient items like baggies, a kettle and even a Brita in the fridge. We really appreciated the full size washer and dryer and available detergent too. While we didn’t use the record player, I appreciated the trip down memory lane with their extensive album collection. What a fun thing to have in a rental! Josh was very helpful and extremely quick to respond to my messages. He was in touch before our very smooth check in with our unique code for the doors. We loved this property and highly recommend it!

Cute Little Forest Home
We really enjoyed staying here. The property is exactly as it appears in the photos. The home is well maintained and has been updated. It is also pretty accessible for seniors. My husband and I have booked many properties using VRBO over the past 10 years at different price points and this was in our top 5 for value. Thanks for a wonderful stay! My daughter was super impressed with the vinyl record collection.
