Overall we were pleased with booking this house. Even though there are plenty of beds (which is great), living spaces were a bit too small for the number of people that could sleep there. I have a few notes that others may find helpful to know in advance and hopefully can be enhanced for future guests.
-Poor outside lighting between the main house and bunk house. We had a few trip upon reaching the deck when walking at night and ended up falling and cutting up their knees. Bring flashlights if you plan to utilize both spaces. (Or extra bandaids)
-Beach had a lot of washed up weeds. It doesnât appear there was much clean up maintained on the beach. We raked ourselves.
-Bedroom doors inside the cabin provide no privacy. If you have guests who want to stay up in the living room or kitchen, itâs impossible for others to go to bed as the bedroom doors are slat doors. You can hear everything and all the light shines through. I wish there were real bedroom doors.
-Steep hill from parking to the main house, there is no driveway. I wished this was clearer in the photos so we were more prepared for loading and unloading.
-Some of the furniture wasnât in good shape, the couch legs were wobbly, the outside lounge chairs were broken so the backs didnât stay up, and a counter stool wasnât level because it was missing a piece on one leg.
-Bunkhouse door didnât lock from keypad. Said it was locked but you could walk right in so it didnât feel very safe when we left the property.
We chose Cotton Lake as our destination for our final family trip for the summer before our two older kids go/return to college. We had a wonderful relaxing time! The bunkhouse was great for the kids and gave them and us some space ; loved the paddle board /kayaks etc; we spent quality time together in a beautiful setting !! Good communication with the host too; we would do it again !!

We really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of sleeping space for kids/grandkids and beds were very comfortable! Grandkids loved the beach and fishing off the dock. Newly remodeled modern feel. Plan to stay again!
This property was exactly what we needed in a cabin! Clean, comfortable, well stocked and most of all- ready for us to enjoy! The adults enjoyed some much needed relaxation and plenty of lake time. The kids loved the sandy beach and swimming area, with lily pad and floaties included. The internet was good enough to use for streaming or work emails. We rented the nice pontoon and highly recommend it as well.
