Wonderful stay

We loved our stay at Palm Lake. The location was close to town and shopping. The house was great and fit our needs. My son enjoyed hanging by the lake fishing and paddle boarding with my husband. We enjoyed walking the property with our 14 year old spaniel. I will definitely book this cottage again!

Relaxing stay

Had a great time staying here at Palm Lake. Great spot to sit outside or on the porch and relax. Easy to get into town for groceries, etc. A lot of great state parks and a National Forest within easy driving distance. Cliff and Tasha are exceptional hosts as well: Very quick to respond to any requests or questions and gracious too!

Quiet Place to Relax

We really enjoyed our stay at Pine Lake Cottage! The cottage was quaint and lovely and the property was just as described. My daughter and I loved walking with our dog around the property, and fishing at the lake. A great place to get away from it all and relax!

Perfect Cottage

We picked Palmlake Cottage because it was very close to our son and it was pet friendly, also access to a lake. Well it definitely surpassed our expectations, everything you would ever need was provided and the cottage itself was meticulously clean. Cliff was always available if you needed him for anything. The lake was a short walk from the cottage and our son caught the biggest large mouth bass he has ever caught! We had a wonderful trip and will definitely visit again. Thank you Janice, Bryan & Shadow.

Peaceful

Overall, our visit was peaceful and relaxing. The cottage is roomy and has everything you could need. I didn't read the listing very well because I thought we would be closer to the lake. The only downside was the fenced yard because its not maintained and or kept tidy. There are lots of mushrooms growing and has an old dirty doghouse. Looks abandoned. s
