Reviews

Our Lake Getaway
5/5 stars
Our stay at the cottage was unforgettable. We invited our friends to stay with us and we were very comfortable. This cottage is very cozy and offers all the comfort necessary. We grilled a nice meal and watched a great movie on Netflix. Our friends really enjoyed canoeing around the lake while watching the wildlife. We will be back. Thank you iTrip for the great hospitality!

Our stay at the Cottage
5/5 stars
My boyfriend and I were honored to be the first guests at this cozy cottage on Walk In Water Lake. The checkin instructions and the online guestbook provided by iTrip to get us familiarize with the place was amazing. We went canoeing and sat on the dock listening to the peace and quiet this lake has to offer. If you are looking for a place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle, this is the place! We did not fish, but we heard that bass fishing is great.
