They provide all the comforts, beautiful cabin! Lots of extras included. The host replied very quickly to my very early morning messages. “Sorry, Sharon…I’m so used to operating early am”. Highly recommend staying at this location-the area is very nice.

Should have been paradise
Overall 1 star rating is due to the poor attitude of the owner John. Cottage is very rustic. The bed in the master bedroom has such a sink hole on one side it makes it difficult to sleep and a need for a chiropractor appointment. There are very specific directions to start a fire and we were not left supplies. While John and Donna were responsive, John was very rude and made a snarky remark that we didnt go get twigs from outside after saying it had just rained for 10 days. They did refund cleaning fee. Windows do not lock and John rolls his eyes about you "not being the first to ask for locking windows and doors" and excuses it by saying "you're in the safest place around and the sheriff is at the end of the lake". Required to stay three nights during the off season and the hot tub didn't work (entire reason we chose location). Pontoon boat is provided but navigation lights have been removed as owners do not want night usage. These lights are required by the US Coast Guard and make this craft illegal and unsafe to operate.

Perfect Getaway
We just love coming here to this little slice of heaven. The location is so tranquil and really forces you to just chill, take a deep breath and appreciate your surroundings. We spent every day on the boat, drifting, fishing and exploring. You can't beat evenings by the fire pit and/or lounging in the hot tub. Thank you for opening up your home to us and we look forward to returning!

Tranquil Lake House with All the Amenities
Visited the lake house with a group of friends and this place checked all the boxes for a fun-filled, relaxing week on the lake. The house had everything we needed for cooking and cleaning. The pontoon boat and various watercraft were a joy each day. And you simply can’t beat stargazing from the hot tub right on the water. The one thing we didn’t realize from the listing is how close the house is to neighboring homes - but the neighbors we did meet were all welcoming and friendly. Nonetheless this property may be the best rental property I have ever stayed at. The hosts did everything to ensure we had a memorable, comfortable stay.

Wonderful house and location - perfect week!
Property was exactly as described. Everything was in excellent shape, bedrooms were comfortable, kitchen was very workable. We used the outside grill twice. Wonderful location and the lake was beautiful. We really enjoyed having the little boat to tool around in. One of our best rentals over the years!

Perfect, cozy, fall weekend at the lake!
This is our fourth year at Trout Lake and our fourth year renting from Donna (I can’t say enough good things about these hosts!). All of our other trips were in the summer, so I wasn’t sure what to expect…. It was amazing! We had a long weekend of boating, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and even some (brief, cause “brrr”) swimming. After each activity, we chased the chill away with a soak in the hot tub, followed by a fire in the wood stove. The cabin was clean (as always), well stocked, and full of lake ambiance in spades. You can’t go wrong with this listing!

Trout Lake Serenity
The lakeside cottage is exactly what my family needed to relax and enjoy what really matters, each other/family. Trout Lake and its exquisite natural beauty, its residents, and all it has to offer is exactly what vacationing is all about, “getting back to the things that truly are of significants and making you feel like that carefree kid/individual you once were.”

The house was exactly as advertised, and so well stocked for an active couple (boats, paddle board, lake swimming). John and Donna were wonderful hosts - a truly zen experience for 9 beautiful October nights. Thank you! Nadya and Robert

Charming and well equipped cabin
There were 3 couples, we all enjoyed this wonderful lakeside cabin, the hot tub, and boat. Very clean, well maintained and tons of charm. The 3rd bedroom loft is accessible by ladder, a bit tricky for adults..but a great room.

Rustic
Definitely a rustic older property -- floors not level so entry door very hard to open and a large window would not close, no closets or clothes hangers whatsoever, just pegs on wall (not good for knits), water not potable (buy some before arrival!) so ice maker does not function (again, buy before arrival if you like iced drinks), no ceiling lights and inadequate bulbs in table/floor lamps so rooms are VERY dim in evening, no lights by dock for enjoying a nightcap by the water. Be aware that the "loft" access is an extremely steep and narrow homemade ladder with the slim edge of a 2x4 for steps-- good luck getting suitcases or older folks up there! There were indeed kayaks and SUP but so carelessly stored that they had become absolutely filthy. Had we been there in the heat of summer we could have gotten into the lake to scrub them, but in mid-September that prospect was chilling, literally. Also, I texted owners 3 times and never got a single response, so it's good that my concerns weren't critical.. This rental got us through the week but there are much, much better places that actually rent for LESS money, just book early (unlike I did).

Overall, a 5 star stay. Beautiful property with gorgeous views. Kitchen was well stocked..kitchen aid mixer, nice pans and sharp knives. Tiny things that could of made it better.... Fridge was never cold enough. Such a well stocked kitchen but not enough space for food. But overall, the place was beautiful and nothing to complain about

Another great Trout Lake vacation!
This was our second year at this property and our third time renting from the Clarks. They have exceeded our expectations each and every time (the welcoming gifts were new this year- and much enjoyed!) This cabin is adorable, charming, and clean. It comfortably fits my family of five and my in-laws. The kitchen is relatively well stocked. The grill is like-new. The fire pit is cozy with lots of seating. The hot tub is welcome after a sunny day in the water or a chilly, rainy day inside. The loons are fascinating to watch and listen to. The sunsets are gloriously reflected in the water. A week of boating, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, trail running and fishing- something for everyone in an age range from 9-69. Thank you again to the Clark’s! We will be back!

Great couple of weeks!
We’ve rented at a number of cottages on Trout Lake and this is among our favorites. We love the waterfront, the fire pit, the hot tub and the rustic nature of the cottage. It only has one bathroom, but the bathroom is very nice. We did have to supplement the glassware, which we left for future guests, but otherwise we were happy with the kitchenware. The dishwasher worked well. We also liked the microwave and oven set up. We would happily stay here again!

Great time at Lakeside Cottage
We had a great trip with our boys, ages 10, 15 & 16. They loved the boat, paddleboard and kayaks and the hot tub! Weather was unseasonably cold for the first 2 days, so we hung out and played board games by the fire. But the one who loved it most was our dog Shane! He loved be able to explore and sit by the water.
