Lovely place at the lake
Loved our relaxing time at the cottage just steps away from the lake. It was great to take the boats out to the lake and to gaze at the stars from the deck. With no wifi this is a grrat place for complete relaxation.

Beautiful cottage!
We enjoyed our stay even though it was a quick weekend trip. We spent Saturday ice fishing on long lake which was only a short drive from the home! The home is beautiful! Would love to rent again and enjoy the lake at the house!

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.

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.

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.

Sunken Lake Cottage
The cottage was very well maintained and clean. We had everything we needed for cooking and spending time on the water. Tammy provided information about all of the things to do in the area as well. 4th of July fireworks over the lake were a pleasant surprise for the kids on our first night there. Our family had a wonderful time!

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

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.

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.

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.

Paradise on the water
This is my family’s second time staying at this beautiful house on Sunken lake and there will be a third. The house is extremely clean and has everything you need. The only thing I can warn someone on is that Google is wrong with the directions. That is no fault of the property nor the property manager. Once you’re at the house, you won’t want to leave. The view is second to none and so is the fishing. My shoulder is killing me from all the smallmouth I caught. It is a no wake lake, so you don’t have to worry about boats zipping past you ruining your time on the water. The view from the kitchen is breathtaking and it continues to the covered patio. I absolutely love this house and I will continue to book my vacations here.

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!
