Our host Erik was very quick to respond to any questions and very thorough and accommodating. The cottage has a quaint-private atmosphere. It is clean and well stocked, but the creature comforts are lacking a bit. The availability and use of the kayaks, and boat house were a huge bonus! We enjoyed our stay and are very grateful to Erik for his hospitality!
My 3 young adult granddaughters and I drove from Indianapolis to attend the annual gathering of families whose ancestors immigrated from Greece at the Greek Club, as the locals call it. Erik did an excellent job of explaining the location. We were surprised to realize there is a second âback houseâ equipped with a game table, water sports items, a grill and a porch with nice seating. Thereâs also a firepit that we used the first night. The mosquitoes were savage, but Erik canât control that. Bring a can of YardGuard if youâre planning to spend time outside. Inside, the house was clean, cozy and well-equipped. Everything we needed was there. The dance at the Clubhouse went until 2, so I asked Erik ahead of time if we might have some leeway on checkout so that we could be rested for the 7 hour drive home. He was very gracious in allowing us a few extra hours. I appreciate how prompt he got back to me when we had a couple questions. The girls and I had a memorable weekend. Thank you again, Erik.
We were quite disappointed when we arrived. The many pictures on the website greatly enhanced how the place really looked. It was clean and well stocked with annuities. The view from the back house porch (with great rocking chairs) was across a creek--not across the lake. You must walk a short distance to see the lake and dock. The water around the dock is totally congested with seaweed and algae. Suitable only for kayaks, not boats. The firepit was nice, with lots of firewood and firestarters, until the mosquitos arrived. Stairway to the bedrooms on the second floor was very narrow and steep--but the house is 100 years old, after all! Overall, a decent visit for four people who have been friends for over 60 years!
I had very high hopes based on the description and photos however I have to admit I was disappointed in the condition of the property and the location. This was one of three places we stayed on a week long trip in the area and while it was priced similarly to the other properties, this did not compare. The property was essentially located in a swamp... The surrounding water was very stagnant and overgrown, nothing like the photos, the neighboring proper
My wife and i stayed 2 nights and thiroughly enjoyed our time! We loved the cottage experience! The place was clean, comfortable and private. Having kayaks was a plus also. Wished we could have stayed longer! Host was personable and timely with communications. You won't be disappointed!
House was very clean and in a great location with easy access to Jamestown and lake. Host did a great job setting us up for a fun weekend and went out of his way to make our trip a success. If we make it back to this part of the country again we will definitely stay again.
The house is the perfect stay for a small group get together. Nice, clean, and so reasonably priced! The dock is a short walk and easy to tie up to. Erik was the best host weâve experienced and had great communication before and during our stay. Would definitely stay again! Thank you for such great hospitality!
Had multiple issues with kitchen sink being plugged up and issue with toilet. Property after rains turns into a swamp, ended up leaving early. Be sure to take your bootsâŠ
Weather was rough as it rained everyday, so the water and mud made things tough and the TV would not work properly with YouTube TV and the lag made it impossible to watch. Otherwise property is an excellent location e with a dock for the boat. Nice spot.
Very clean comfortable cottage. We stayed for 4 days in March. It was cold but the heat works great! The boat house is nice for playing cards etc and you can fish in Spring creek right off the back of the boat house. There was tons of wildlife. We saw a beaver, geese, mallard ducks, a porcupine, 2 mink and a muscrat in the creek. Great stay and highly recommend.
I spent 3 October nights with my family including two kids, age 11 and 14. The leaves were beautiful and it was a very peaceful stay. We ate most meals in the house which had everything we needed in the kitchen. Bedrooms were comfortable. Great access to the lake where we were able to enjoy the northern lights. Cute enclosed porch where I could enjoy my morning coffee or a glass of wine at night. Would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful and restful week at this cottage. Kitchen was well stocked beyond what we could have asked for. Plenty of paper products including tissues which as a nice touch. We enjoyed playing some of the games provided during the evenings and the property owner Erik was quick to respond when we had a question. The beds are a bit worn but we made due. If vacationers have mobility issues the stairs will be challenging to navigate. Thankful for our time away and even our 20 something son enjoyed his few days with us and commented on the amenities.

My teenage daughters and I rented this property for a couple nights to get away and relax before school starting up again. Everything was even better then described. The outdoor area with picnic table and fire pit is where we spent most of our time! Beautiful and serene!!
We had a wonderful stay! Erik was very accomodating and responsive when we messaged with questions. The house was listed accurately and was clean upon arrival. We had a great time on the lake with our boat and would love to come back in the future!
We had a nice stay . Loved the property and especially the boathouse. Had a few issues with neighbors who were working on their cottage â noise â and a few times they blocked the entrance with their cars. This cottage reminded me of a cottage from a bygone era
Over a good little house. Not of fan of the accordian doors even on the bathroom (i realize its small but bathroom privacy with one bathroom right off the eating area). Have to admit when i seen the neighbors house as you enter the property i was a little nervous. How ever the actual house was old but charming. Air conditioning situation could be a worry if the one person who has it keeps there door shut and or it on low. Access to lake great. The "creek" is more a swamp and can make the mosquitos a little much! Over all a bargin for the area.
5 nights with our adults daughters where memories of water fun, board games, barbecue, and sight seeing were had this week at Spring Creek Cottage. We are super flexible and a chill family and had 5 adults staying at the cottage. LOVED the boat house to play games in, the rocking chairs around the campfire were so comfy, the lawn was mowed, towels placed in every bed, kitchen was clean and had everything needed. It is a short walk to the dock and is perfect for bringing along a boat(which we didn't have so we rented rhe kayaks and canoe!). Perfect time spent with our family!
Erik the owner of the property was just excellent to deal with from start to finish. The house was perfect for us and thankfully it had air conditioning! We were there during the hottest week in June . The place was clean and had everything we needed. The separate boathouse /game room in the back was a bonus too. The dock was perfect for my fishing boat and to do some fishing from . I know the stairs leading to the three upstairs bedrooms are mentioned in other reviews and yes they are something to be mindful of if you are traveling with older folks or others with limited mobility but 2 of us had no issue with them . Thank you again Erik for an awesome experience, I have a feeling we may look you up again.
