NorthShore - on Guthrie Lake
On nearly 3 acres, sharing an 11 acre tract with only one other (family member). Wonderful privacy, really wonderful lake for swimming or fishing; beach along the shore for swimming (depending on high-water level); 30-foot dock for boating (public boat ramp on the south end of the lake, a mile down the trail). Fire-pit by the shore (wood provided). Hiker-friendly woods. Cute squirrels and chipmunks; deer in the yard are not unusual. House has a great kitchen, open floor plan, much new carpet, new vinyl floors in kitchen, bath, utility, central heat and air conditioning; unlimited high speed wifi internet, Roku for two TVs, or watch DVDs (provided, some), or bring your own game console. Two full baths, 3 bedrooms, big screened porch for additional space, gas barbecue grill (gas provided). Handicap accessible. 14 foot aluminum boat with 6 hp motor (fuel provided); 12' canoe, hard SUP board, inflated two-person kayak.
From our cleaning and sanitation crew: " We at IBKLEAN want to help our guests feel even more comfortable this summer. Time at the lake is for relaxing, not worrying.
We have been cleaning here for many years. This year we are doing things differently. The most important things are: 1) All staff will complete the Health Department required CDC paperwork before every clean. No one will work if they are not well. 2) Our staff will wear clean/new gloves, masks, and foot covers for every cleaning job. We will use new/ clean ( in hottest water possible) cleaning tools for every cleaning job. 3) We will use the recommended 2 step cleaning, then disinfecting process, allowing enough time for the disinfectant to work. 4) All laundry will be washed in the hottest water possible. Baskets will be disinfected regularly. 5) We will maintain a check list of this process
We hope our commitment to everyone’s health and safety helps you feel at home. Thank you and have a wonderful time. "

Such a perfect place to be with our amazing adult children! Many new memories were made. The house was exactly as described and is in the perfect location off the beaten path. Don't trust your GPS - follow the PERFECT directions that Bob sends. 2/4 GPS took you to the wrong place. We arrived perfectly well and started catching fish right away! You will not regret booking your stay here. Thank you, Bob!
Really enjoy our stays at Guthrie Lake. The home is secluded right on the lake with private dock on sandy shore. Perfect for many water adventures. Thank you Bob for another fine family vacation.
Cottage was perfect for our family of 7. Large well stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals. Lakefront was very quiet and nice to cool off. Great view of full moon and lake from fire pit. Highly recommend to any family
Beautiful property deep in the woods filled with ferns and liile critters, lots of birds, deer and canapy of pine. Lake was perfect to seim, vlean and clear watm and refreshing. House was average, beds were ok. Enjoyed porch for fresh air while relaxing with a book and coffee. Worth the cost, distance drive was 4.5hrs and easy to get to.

We had a lovely time at this cottage nestled in the trees with a short path to the lake. It was truly a home away from home. Everything we needed was there. Our host was helpful and quickly answered all our questions. We are in our 70s and 80s, so being all on one floor was important to us. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were clean. The living room was charming. The kitchen was a marvel, it had everything we needed and more. Our favorite place was the screened in porch that extended the length of the cottage. We spent many of our afternoons there, enjoying the breezes and the lake view, playing cards, and talking (for younger families, there are also plenty of things to do outside and on and in the water). We were a little old for the canoes and kayaks, so we rented a pontoon boat and enjoyed spins around the lake. I can't imagine a more welcoming place.
We have stayed here multiple times and enjoy the location. House was not as clean and usual and had a pretty bad dog urine odor throughout the house. We do enjoy bringing our pet but the smell was overwhelming this time. Overall we had a great time like usual on the lake and in the screened in porch!
My family and I had a great time getting out of the city. We enjoyed the lake very much. Also, just the quiet nature that surrounded us. We loved it and would stay again!
We had a great time! Perfect cottage for our family of 5 and our pup. Beds are comfy and plenty of seating and tables for stuff, games and dinner. Loved hearing and seeing the loons!
Lots of room for the family to spread out. Crystal clear lake water for swimming and fishing. Great bonfire and the host was very easy to communicate with.
This was an awesome place to stay!! Entire family had a blast. The lake is so clear and beautiful pictures do not do it justice. We will definitely be back.

Great Location
My family loved staying at this location. The house had enough room to sleep 8 adults and two pets comfortably with an amazing sun room and spacious kitchen. The ORV / ATV trails were just down the road. The lake was great for Canoeing.
