These cottages are in a perfect location on Catfish Lake. There is easy access to lake with no steep slopes and the bottom is sandy. The cottages themselves have everything you need, although a bit well-used. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for a wonderful family reunion.
Cabin where a little rustic, but still met our needs. It's on the water and had everything we needed. The process that suffered was the check-in process, we never received (after many messages going back and forth) the correct door codes until 4 hours past check-in time.
Great location on the chain; easy access to town; nice sandy bottom with good docking space; decent fire pit. Check in process was not great. There really should be a checking letter with CLEAR access instructions. That was frustrating. Small cabin is lacking counter space, a lot of basics in kitchen and very little storage in cupboards, bath, bedrooms. Could use some refresh touches in certain areas.
Great location, we loved the lake and outdoor gathering area. We had fun fishing, swimming and boating along with camp fire at night. We had a good vacation but did not have enough info to check in and had to call for assistance.
Management did not respond to request for help with broken shower for entire week.
Family reunion with 3 small families. Worked great!
