Guest Stories
Really great stay! Had a couple of friends get together and did some kayaking, made smores, and watching movies.
We can’t say enough good things about Cattail Cottage, it really is a wonderful place! It was easy to get in, immaculately clean, very well appointed, has beautiful surroundings, so peaceful! We thoroughly enjoyed many games of ping pong, being able to watch events up or downstairs, playing cribbage (which was one of the many games available on the console table), hanging out inside and on the deck, kayaking, and our daily walk w/our dogs on Holly Lake and Cattail Lanes. It’ so great when we find a place that accommodates our dogs so perfectly! Need to mention one thing…the pillows are very firm. Not a big deal as we would bring our own next time. Brad was an excellent host, very accommodating! We had a few inquiries during our stay and he was extremely prompt in responding. Thank you Brad for hosting us, we loved your place!
Our family had a wonderful time at the cottage. (Five adults and two dogs). It was really a beautiful area, sunsets lovely, the huge porch looking over the lake very relaxing and kayaking fun. The place is lovely, owners very responsive and I would highly recommend. Our dogs loved the dock area and chasing balls at the waters edge. Our kayak excursions to find the turtles and enjoy the water was a highlight. (We did not attempt to swim, it is more of a fishing lake) We did see the fish. Cottage is set up for anything that you would need and beautiful.
This is by far the best cabin we have ever stayed at. The owners really went out of their way to accommodate us. I would definitely recommend this cabin if you are in the area!

Rental Etiquette We want your family to have fun, relax, and enjoy your time here! Here are a few things we kindly ask you to observe while you are having fun. Noise: Please be conscious that we are on a small, quiet lake in the Northwoods and sound really travels. No music and no stereos outside at any time. Also- by 10pm, please move the gatherings inside! We have excellent relations with the neighbors and would very much appreciate your cooperation in keeping noise to manageable levels. 15 M.P.H. Speed Limits: There are no posted speed limits, however we kindly ask that you go slow and keep your speed limit to 15mph while coming to and from the cabin on Holly Lake Lane and Cattail Lane. Firewood: For summertime campfires in the firepit, we encourage you to use our firewood stacked next to the cabin! It's yours to use and it is included in the rent! Just a few requests: • Please only use what you need. • Please keep the wood piles covered with the tarps when done using. Lights: The exterior lights are bright! Especially the deck lights facing the lake. Please be courteous to neighbors and turn off exterior lights when they are not being used. Well and Septic: The property is on a well and septic system. Here are few notes: • Well: Unlike city water, our water is pumped out of a well next to the cabin. To maintain our lodging license our well water is tested annually by the county health department to be safe to drink. We also installed a water softener; so not only is our water safe, but it tastes great too! I use the water for everything….coffee….cooking…ice water….etc. If you like ice water, I highly recommend using the water and ice dispenser on the refrigerator! • Septic: The septic system is very effective; however, it will clog up if improper material is flushed. We kindly ask that you not flush anything other than toilet paper. (No paper towels, feminine products, etc) Doors and Windows: Please keep doors closed to keep the bugs out! Guests are welcome to open windows however we ask that this be done sparingly to maintain consistent temperature and humidity inside the cabin. Please turn off heating/cooling systems while windows are open! Pet Policies We love dogs. We felt like there weren't enough vacation rentals that allowed pets so we wanted to be the exception. If you brought your dog with you, we kindly ask that you: • Keep your dog leashed at all times when outdoors. • Clean up all refuse. • Keep them from producing excessive noise at a level that disturbs neighbors. • Do not leave them unattended for an undue length of time. If you are planning to leave your dog(s) alone in the cabin for any length of time, we kindly ask that you bring a kennel and kennel them while you are gone. • Do not leave them unattended on the screened-in porch.
