Sunken Lake 2024

Beautiful and peaceful, house was very clean, like new! Nice size bedrooms and bathrooms, love the laundry room. The covered patio was amazing, lots of spacious seating, large grill, and very comfortable. The view was so beautiful, to watch eagles and deer and fish jump all day was so peaceful. Fishing is awesome, paddle boat, kayaks and canoe were used ALOT! Dock is great, the water is so clear. Over-all a perfect stay. Will be back! Thank you for everything!

Very nice cottage on a quiet, laid-back lake. I really liked the gas grill. Coffee maker in the place was the slowest on the planet, should be replaced. Had my 1 year old granddaughter with me and she crawls a lot. Floor was dirty when we got there. Would have mopped it but no mop. Otherwise great place

Above and beyond!

This stay exceeded my expectations. The house was beautiful, plenty of space. You don’t need anything! I was amazed with all the little details of supplies that were available. Our trip was quite rainy but with the covered patio it made it quite enjoyable. Kayaks, canoe, paddleboat and cornhole game in the garage and a fire pit (they even had a wood shack full of firewood) gave us much entertainment. I highly recommended this rental. Also Tammy was my contact for this rental and was amazing. I sent her a text that a kayak oar was missing, within an hour she had one sent over. Thank you for such an incredible experience!!!

Everything we needed to relax!

I highly recommend this property! My family (5 adults and 4 kids (0 to 15 years old) and 2 dogs) stayed 4 nights and everyone had a blast! We had everything we needed to enjoy the time together - there was even a crockpot, which we used for birthday-kid-requested chicken chili! There is little or no cell signal in the house, so that was the only challenge (of course, no phone service helps with really getting away!). Check-in and check-out were easy, with clear instructions. I appreciated Tammy's recommendations for activities and resources during check-in. There was also a whole library of catalogs, brochures, and info sheets with all the information we could need about the area.

Repeat Visitors

This is the second time we rented this very clean, well equipped cottage for a long weekend to attend a family reunion in the area. We especially like the large outdoor covered patio for entertaining. The only down side is that the beds are not the most comfortable. Tammy is a pleasure to work with and can be easily reached if need be.

Girls Weekend

We have a girls weekend from two families that have known each other for 58 years. We enjoyed the place because it was able to accommodate 6 adults. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. It was on a quiet lake. We were able to relax and enjoy the time together. We will tell others about the place.

Excellence as always.

This was our third time staying here and there’ll be a fourth. The house is perfect, the lake is perfect, the area is perfect if you want peace and quiet on the lake. Check in and out was stress free, the house was clean and beautiful as it always is. If you’re on the fence about this house, don’t be. You’ll not regret staying here.

Hemlock Lakehouse Memories

Our stay at the Hemlock Lakehouse on Sunken Lake was great. We enjoyed walking into a clean and welcoming home with a lot of space for us to enjoy spending time together as a family. The outside patio was refreshing and added space to our large group. Everyone enjoyed the outdoor ammenities (fishing, kayaking, peddle boating, cornhole, etc.) The only drawback was the comfort of the beds, they seem to be on the harder side. Overall a very lovely home that we would recommend to others.

Family Bonding Weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sunken Lake Cottage this past weekend. This place definitely exceeded our expectations, and was exactly what our family needed to connect while enjoying the beautiful setting. Our host was very accommodating and warmly greeted us when we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped to cook a big breakfast every morning. The beds were very comfortable and it was really quiet so we were able to get a lot of rest. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio overlooking the lake at sunset, then relaxed at the firepit for the rest of the evening. We would definitely stay at this location again, and would recommend this place to others.
