Host was very helpful before and throughout the stay. It was a great getaway in a quiet and peaceful location. We visited during chilly weather, but it would be fun to visit in the summer to use all of the lake amenities!

This was our second stay at this terrific cottage and it was magical! This time spent with our young adult children is priceless to me! And in such wonderful accommodations. So comfortable and clean. We love playing in the lake, eating meals and looking at the lake, playing family games, the pedal boat, kayaks and the hammock!!!! We had tons of fun at Range light beach, enjoyed Woody’s, Austin Brother’s, Ida Mae’s portage deli and The Sandbar and Grill. Perfect weather, amazing host! Truly hope to come back again!

We enjoyed the home very much. The lake was very tranquil and relaxing. Our kids had fun swimming in the lake, the water was very warm while we were there. We also had fun kayaking around the lake. The campfire and outdoor picnic table for eating was enjoyed by all of us. Everything you need was provided in the home for a wonderful stay. The check in process was easy. We would stay here again!

We have stayed at this property several times now and have truly enjoyed every visit! It's great to feel so welcomed and the owner makes sure that your experience is a special one. Lake Esau is a smaller private lake in the area and gives you an "away from it all" feeling that's perfect for what we are looking for in a vacation. That said, owners provide wifi/internet access and satellite tv to keep you connected. We love the open plan and beautiful water views. There are 2 bedrooms on the main level that share a bath and loft bedroom with multiple beds up a spiral stair with a bath. Love the new filtered water tap feature in the kitchen!
