Cute and Cozy is A! First of all the communication with the owners is the best I have ever seen as they are super responsive and very accommodating. I needed trailer parking and had a place on the other side of the lake within minutes. Everything was clean, worked well, new and nice. Great location as it’s within footsteps of the lake. Neighbors are really friendly. Overall really enjoyed our stay.

Cute place and location

We had a great family vacation. If there are more than 4 adults in your group I would recommend a larger place. Pull out couch not the most comfortable. If you like watching the sunset and doing a little fishing it is an awesome choice. Beautiful lake.

Birthday/4th of July weekend.

We had a great time at the cottage. We were really close to the water and the park. The outdoor deck was our favorite part as we would drink our coffee there in the morning and we watched the fireworks from the deck as well.

Great little place near the lake

Very nice cottage near the lake and also near town. Very clean and tidy. Great porch with a view of the boat launch. Enjoyed watching boaters come and go while having coffee. Also took one of the provided kayaks out for a lap of the lake.

Beautiful Sunsets!!

This cozy cabin by the lake was exactly what my family needed after a long stressful year. We spent most of our time on the deck. During the day you would see so many birds including a lot of hawks flying overhead. One time I got a glimpse of an Eagle, so beautiful! At sunset the sky would light up in so many gorgeous colors! If you are looking for a place to just relax and enjoy life for a bit I highly recommend this Cozy Cabin!!

I have stayed here 3x and love everything about it. This small home is very comfortable and clean and communication with the owners is excellent. Access to Paddock Lake for fishing and kayaking is easy and there is a Festival Foods market just west on 50. Overall a perfect stay.

Wonderful property, wonderful stay

Mike and Gina were great hosts. Their rental property, while clearly meant for summer adventures given its proximity to the lake, was cozy and warm in the depths of Wisconsin’s winter cold. We loved the fireplace, that great shower, and the gas stove for cooking our meals. The laundry is the kitchen was also super convenient. We hope to stay here again … perhaps when the weather allows us to use the kayaks and paddle boards.

Great Place

The house was in a quiet little neighborhood, quite a few people taking walks in the morning. The place was clean and the beds were comfy. It was close to both Kenosha and Lake Geneva, it was exactly what we were looking for. We had a couple of questions and the host was quick to respond to us. Overall, a great experience.

Everything we needed and comfortable.

We stayed at this property for 4 nights because we wanted to spend some quality time with our son and DIL who live near Hooker Lake in Salem. The house was clean and we had everything that we needed for a wonderful stay. The deck with lakeview, two tables and firepit made our dinners fun and we enjoyed easy access to a variety of water sports including fishing Lake Geneva. I really wish we could have stayed longer. The area is peaceful and quiet and we loved being steps away from Paddock Lake. We especially loved seeing a swan family swimming near the dock around sunset.
