What an ideal retreat! The natural beauty of the lakeside and surrounding mountains is astounding. The host, Barbie, is one of the best proprietors we’ve ever come across. Her attention to detail, both inside the cottage and as it relates to renters, is second to none!

The place is on a small lake and it is a beautifully remodeled cabin from years ago. We did have ‘mountain rest’ and it was wonderful!! Everything we needed was there and also board games, books, 2 screened in porches and most importantly, a peaceful dock with chairs and kayaks and canoes. We hope to be able to go back again.

We really enjoyed the Bluebird Cottage. It was well appointed and very clean. We enjoyed the gas fire table on the back screened porch instead of using the fire pit. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and knives for cooking. The little lake was quiet and we enjoyed sitting on the dock. Barbie was a top notch host.

Our recent stay at this delightful cabin was amazing! This home away from home is welcoming and has everything you could possibly need. The setting is spectacular-serene, peaceful, and private. The cottage itself is exceptionally decorated and each detail is thoughtfully laid out. Barbie is an excellent host and communicates in a timely manner. We are already planning a return visit to this delightful mountain retreat.

This place was immaculate and decorated very nice. It is in a peaceful, serene woodsy area with beautiful views of lake. The host is very generous and had coffee, creamer sugar, few snacks and pantry staples. She also allowed use of kayaks and tubes/floats, life vests etc . Excellent host! Lots of games, books and puzzles available too. Would definately recommend!

The property was absolutely beautiful! We had a little trouble with the internet when we got there (from no fault of Barbie's of course). She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and that we stayed in touch with out kiddos while away! I appreciate the cleanliness and the gorgeous decor of the Lakeside Haven. I would definitely return!

Very off the beaten path and peaceful directly on the lake. The decor was perfect in every detail. Beds were comfortable and everything was impeccably clean.

Perfect Getaway

We absolutely loved our time here. It was a great chance for our teens to unplug. We spent hours paddling and fishing on the lake from morning until dusk. The house was very well equipped and decorated beautifully. We didn’t have to leave for anything! We can’t wait to come back.

My husband and I enjoyed a super relaxing 3 night stay. We enjoyed hanging on the dock and both screened porch areas. We also loved the surrounding hiking trails which are easily accessible right from the cottage. The cottage is so cute! The furnishings are comfortable, beautiful and creative. It has everything we needed as far as kitchen appliances, cookware, good wifi, kayaks, etc. Also there's a great little coffee/tea bar with grinder/coffeemaker/teas, etc. The place was immaculately clean. Our host Barbie was very super helpful and kind.
