About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

3 Bedroom, 1 bath Lakefront cabin. Completely updated recently. Nature is abundant in this country setting surrounded by the sounds of frogs, birds singing, swans, beaver, musk rats and fishing. The cabin sits on a small 4 lake chain that is known for its privacy and being a NO wake and fishing sanctuary. You can relax with a book, kayak, or just tune in to the best that nature has to share with us, or perhaps remind us how far we have journeyed into the matrix of chaos.

Air-conditioned home with kitchen, fireplace, and patio
Free WiFi
9.9 mi (16 km) from Coldwater Lake State Park and 10.7 mi (17.3 km) from Bella Vista Golf Course

This vacation home offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.

Relaxing Weekend

Very nice clean cottage with beautiful views. It was chilly and windy so we didn't take out the boats or kayaks so I guess we will have to come back. Rhonda stopped by to make we got checked in okay and didn't need anything. We thought that was above and beyond and it was appreciated.

Relaxing peaceful get away!!

We had the most amazing time at this cabin! The cabin is clean, cute and so peaceful! We rented the pontoon boat that was available too, which just added to our enjoyment! Rhonda and her husband were quick to respond and so friendly! We feel like we made new friends! If you are looking for a peaceful, beautiful nature get away this is your place! We will definitely be back!

Great family weekend

We had a wonderful time here! Such a quiet and peaceful setting. We booked this property specifically to watch the Perseid meteor shower, and were treated to so much more! We were lucky enough to see the Norther Lights over the lake too! Had a great time taking the pontoon around the lake, and grilling on the quaint back porch. Being able to have our dog with was awesome as well!

Perfect for the family

I stayed here with my family (including the doggos) and we had an amazing time. The location is quiet, peaceful, and so so pretty. The hosts were amazing and very communicative, super responsive to any questions/requests. We spent most of the time fishing and kayaking, the lake is perfect for both. We actually had good luck fishing which never happens for us! lol will definitely stay here again

Great place on the lake

This is our second time renting from Rhonda. A different house than we rented before but just as nice. Perfect size for 3 adults and our maltipoo dog. House was beautiful and well taken care of. Nice bonus being able to rent the pontoon boat to tool around the lake. Had a great time and will see ya next year.

Lovely home just (literal) steps from the water. Water wasn’t swim friendly but lent a beautiful background for morning coffee and evening fires. Close enough to things to do and places to eat.

It was a beautiful property right on a lake, we enjoyed our stay immensely and I wish we could’ve stayed longer. I loved that there were kayaks available, and the wooded setting. The house itself was very nice and cozy, with a great selection of dvds. We saw a hummingbird flying around the back patio. It was just a very quiet and peaceful setting, which is exactly what I wanted.

Fantastic Independence Day Lakehouse

My wife and two daughters stayed at this property over the 4th of July. Great location and even better sunsets! Loved having a bedroom for everyone, and appreciated having numerous options for activities. Neighbors didn't set off fireworks all night, which was great! However, mini-split A/C could use another head unit for the master bedroom. With only one headunit upstairs, we had to keep bedroom doors open to keep it cool during the night.,

Great Place to Stay

Rhonda was great in answering our pre-trip questions and Al was a great host on site! The property is on a very natural chain of lakes. We rented the pontoon boat which was great! Though I caught no fish, my fish finder showed that there were thousands -- just not biting at that time. Very highly recommended -- we will go back for those fish :)

The owners were very attentive and handled everything wth integrity.

Loved the fishing! Many areas, pockets, adjoining lakes and everyone on the lake in boats or on their properties were very friendly. Tell Beth down the road Boomer and Louie say HI! LOL.... The house kept a nice moderate temp the whole time we were there, hardly used any heat or AC, just the windows, opened in the morning, closed in the evening. I wish there were a newer grill or new grill flame deflectors and grates (the grill flame deflectors were pretty far gone and grates were losing their ceramic coat) and a few other household cooking items like a can opener, but we made due with what we brought. We made due with foil on the grill and a swiss army knife for cans, lol Overall, we enjoyed the good days, only one bad weather day that kept us from fishing. Caught quite a few largemouths and a few crappie. Going back again in late Aug or early September, I think.

Relaxing place on the lake.

My family went for my husbands birthday weekend. We ended up having amazing weather. My son fished all weekend but didnt catch anything, the most amazing part was seeing a couple of beavers swimming in the lake around dusk. It was the relaxing weekend my family needed and we will definitely be back.
