Great Family Summer Vacay
Sunset Cottage was wonderful for our family getaway over the 4th of July. The cottage is clean, well-stocked, and has a wonderful view of the lake. The inclusion of the pontoon makes this rental perfect! The owners are responsive and make your stay easy. Hope to be back again sometime!

Nice location, great property, but unable to stay due to horrible weather
The property was great! LOVED the location. Unfortunately, after only 3 hours a tornado came through and ruined some of the property, took out the power, damaged the pontoon, and destroyed other properties around as well. We had to turn around and go home, sadly, but the owner was very helpful with getting our money refunded. We WILL be renting this property again next year and will have another update then. Thank you to the owner for everything!

Great outdoor space and supplies.
Inside was very clean and well organized. One suggestion: install an "adult" toilet. The current one is very small and low to the ground. Also, check for wasps nesting in the outdoor umbrella before guests arrive. Please!

Bach party!
We had an awesome weekend at the sunset cottage for my sisters bachelorette party. We swam in little chapman, hung out at the sand bar, went for morning coffee boat rides, and had ourselves a grand fire to end the weekend. The house was very clean, plenty room for everyone, and the porch was great for all of us to visit. Emerson was a great host, next door if you need anything.

Lake getaway for bride to be
Our bride to be wanted to have a chill weekend getaway at a lake for her bachelorette and this was perfect! We took the boat out on the water and had a fabulous time. We were happy to beat the heat with the great air conditioning afterwards, and then we made a fire at night and made smores. Emerson was very responsive when we needed anything and we would highly recommend staying here!

In town due to death of father
My father loved the water and fishing so I chose to stay somewhere that would honor his life. The place was perfect and the host was very accommodating. He even allowed us to have a very small service for my father next to the water. I highly recommend this vrbo.
