A Great Spot on the Lake
My family and I were very happy with our accommodations at Virgil’s lake house. While the cottage seems small, the living space (kitchen, family room and 4 seasons room were open and spacious. In addition, with the 3 bedrooms and pull out couch we were able to sleep 8 comfortably when needed. The property was very well maintained and everything was clean and in good working order. We love being on Seminole Island and the lake view and sunsets were excellent. We had a great time and would love to come back again. The owners were very nice and accommodating too!

I don’t even know where to start. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, lots of outdoor seating and amazing views. We spent the entire weekend swimming, jet skiing, boating and grilling out. Thank you Mark, Gus and Archer for being great hosts.

Wonderful experience at Virgil's Cabin. The cottage is right on the lake with its own boat dock and concrete sitting area. It was clean, convenient, and reasonably priced and located in a quiet and peaceful location on Seminole Island. Look forward to coming back here in the future.

A perfect getaway
Our stay at Virgil’s cottage was lovely. The cottage was very clean and as described. It has a perfect Grandpa’s family lake house feel. We were able to dock our boat at the open slip. When we arrived we met one of the owners,Kirk and some of the family at the family house next door. The view and sunsets were lovely. Very relaxing to sit on the patio and read while the kids played in the water. We brought our own paddle boards and the kids enjoyed the calm water around the cottage. We would definitely stay again.

Loving the Lake
Great location, clean, neat and comfortable. Had everything we needed and expected. Would have easily worked well for 2 couples, but would have to share shower. Walkable neighborhood and to Cranberry Resort, easy drives elsewhere. Not sure if swimming off the dock is ever great, but nice to have the option, and would work well for kayaks. Overall very happy and relaxing weekend.

Perfect Place
Virgil’s Cottage on Seminole Island was just the perfect place for our May Getaway. Right on the lake, gorgeous sunsets and a beautiful view. The Saugeye catch was an added bonus. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and all of the amenities. The hosts are very responsive and we met one of them in person right before checkout to chat a bit.

BEST Location
We had such a great time at this property. The location cannot be beat and having a dock right out the back door was a huge plus. The house gave us the cabin vibe we were looking for. Rooms are a little small but were more than adequate for the 7 of us. Kirk was amazing helping us find all the restaurants and navigating the lake. Great Owners! We appreciated having Mark & Kirk right next door. Wish we could have stayed longer than the weekend.

Home away from home
We just stayed at Virgil’s Cottage for our second week this summer, it has everything we need to feel like it’s our home away from home and it reminds us of the Jersey shore cottages of our youth. The view of the lake is fabulous all day, from sunrise to sunset. We live outdoors on vacation and this is the perfect place for us - always a bit of shade around the house throughout the day (and a dockside table+umbrella), easy water access for this water-loving family (kayak, paddle boards, noodles for floating), quiet and walkable neighborhood, lovely neighbors, and the perfect location for birdwatching and stargazing. We are already planning for summer 2023!

Time to Relax & Unwind
The house was easy to get to & had easy access to the lake. The sunsets were pretty & love all the flowers in pots. We used to own a condo not far from this home. It was great that we could rent it & be familiar with all the stores, restaurants, boat storage etc. Mark & Kirk were very accommodating. We are so grateful that our dogs could come too. Hope to rent again.

Perfect Spot
We live in Powell, and my wife and I were looking for a close-to-home getaway while our youngest was away at camp. Love the house and the location! 8 minute walk to Cranberry's, which was awesome...ate almost all our meals there. Spend a Day Marina has reasonable weekly rentals and brand new boats, so having a nice dock at the house was a real plus so we could enjoy the water every day. Mark the property manager was terrific...all in all a great experience...we will be back. Thanks!
