Getaway weekend
We had a wonderful weekend! Our group of 6 adults found the place big enough to hang out and have meals together. We were able to have our own bedroom during our stay. The house was located close to the water edge. Deer roamed through the property. We were able to enjoy the newly installed hot tub. The host was attentive and answered any questions quickly and clearly.

Great Location
The cabin being right on the lake provided such a fun and relaxing weekend for my friends and I. The inside is nice and clean, with plenty of room for everyone. The boat, canoe and kayaks are all in great condition and comfortable to ride. The host is very helpful and easy to contact prior and during your stay as well. I can't recommend this listing enough for fellow lovers of the outdoors.

Beautiful 5 days on a lakefront property. The house was very big- spacious enough for the 12-13 guests we had. Close by public natural preserves with beautiful hiking/waterfalls. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was very well stocked with absolutely everything we needed for cooking (though the knives could have been a lot sharper). Would definitely recommend.

Lovely Quiet Getaway for Adults
Our group of over-50 childhood friends gets together every year for a getaway, far from work and kids. This property is idyllic for that purpose: well maintained, peaceful, serene, and low-key, with a lovely and responsive host. We'll continue to return.

Fun time for family at the lake
Our family group of 8 adults and 5 young children had a wonderful week at Inn Kognito 1. We enjoyed the association amenities: 2 beaches, 2 pools, Pickleball. Several of us biked, ran and walked around the neighborhood and usually saw deer. And we enjoyed the property’s own amenities: we fished off the dock, used the rowboat, kayaks, canoe and the fire pit. The house had all we needed; and the owner was quick to respond to questions and a minor appliance problem which was quickly fixed. We can recommend this property.

Peaceful, clean house with attentive owner
Enjoyed our stay for several days. House was very clean and recently remodeled. Boats were great for kids to use on the lake. Only things of note, the floors had a bit of a height transition room to room with the remodeling. We were fine, but might be an issue for small children or older folks. Also, not a master bathroom. The bathrooms were very nice, just wish I would have caught that ahead of time to pack a robe. I would stay again.
