About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Cozy Lake House

Welcome to Lakeside Living! This sunset-view lake house is the ultimate place to relax and unwind or work from home with our super fast high-speed internet. It is quaint but large enough to accommodate several guests or 1-2 small families. The kitchen comes fully stocked with brand new pots and pans, plates, and utensils. The property is lake front and an excellent spot for fishing or just grilling on the balcony. The house sits up high and there are quite a few stairs-see photos.

relaxing retreat
The house was very cozy. Lots of activity in the morning with all the species of birds around the lake. Enjoyed cups of coffee watching. Gathering with family, visiting, playing cards, games and site seeing was very nice and the space was great for everyone. We all enjoyed it.

Wonderful vacation at Wonder Lake.
Our little Easter getaway at The Cozy Lake House was a memorable one for our family. It was the first holiday we got to spend with my brother in over 5 years since joining the military. The check in process was incredibly easy and straight forward. The house was extremely clean and the view of the lake house was breathtaking! The property is very well kept and came with all the amenities that we needed and were able to enjoy being outside. All the rooms were comfortable and very well kept. You can tell that Steve and Emily put a lot of thought into this home so families can enjoy. They have fun games to play, and even a karaoke machine! Steve and Emily were so kind to even hide Easter eggs around the house for our little ones. Out of all the places I have stayed I have never had such a thoughtful hosts. Our youngest forgot his tablet and Steve was kind enough to ship it back to us immediately! I highly recommend anyone to stay at The Cozy Lake House! Thank you so much Steve and Emily for allowing our family to have a wonderful memories in your amazing home!

One of the best experiences and best hosts!
The place was amazing and hosts Steve and Emily were great. My significant other and I will make this our first choice anytime we are in town. The layout was perfect with plenty of space. And we loved waking up to the beautiful view over the lake. If you book your stay, you’ll be glad you did!
