Cottage on Lake Mazinaw

My husband and I stayed at this cottage July 22-26, 2023. We had our dog with us. The lake is truly the draw for this cottage location. Here is what we enjoyed the most about this property: - Timely communication with the property owners. Big thumbs up. - Cottage is larger than expected. - The outdoor shower was quite lovely and private. - Nice dock where you can access the water with a ladder attached. Plenty of floating noodles and life vests provided to enjoy the water. - Canoe (but no kayak) - There’s a double swing off one of the decks overlooking the lake. - Bugs were not particularly an issue. More active at night/after rainfall. - The cottage is a few decades old and its decor brings you back to another era. Definitely a 60s/70s feel. Quite nostalgic. - There was plenty of firewood, kindle and paper to start a fire in the fire pit at the edge of the water. We brought our own though. Things to consider/make note of: - The cottage is located very close to a regional highway. It can be noisy, especially on the weekend. - Some upkeep work is needed. Stepped on carpet nails by the wood stove in the living room. Wore flip flops in the house after that. - Electrical outlets in bedrooms are two prongs. Bring two prongs extensions. - No working lamps in front bedroom. - Bring oven mitts. - The property location/layout can be challenging if you have young kids/dog. Always be vigilant. - No wifi. Cell reception is intermittent.

We had a fabulous time and the property was exactly as described. Mazinaw is the perfect lake and it was very close to Bon Echo park.

The place is cozy and beautiful. We enjoyed swimming in the lake. Thank you so much for your letting us enjoy your beautiful cottage.

This is a rustic cottage with beautiful views of the lake. Clear deep lake that is great for swimming. The property had some maintenance issues that should be addressed.
