We chose this property for a group writing retreat and had a wonderful stay. The indoor and outdoor tables overlooking the lake were perfect for a weekend spent writing while watching the ducks and the sunset. Good internet, well-stocked kitchen, and comfy beds. We weren't that keen on the taste of the well water but had plenty of other beverages on hand. Lovely stay overall.

My husband and I had such a lovely stay at Ottawa Lodge! We went to celebrate our 5th anniversary, and enjoyed every moment. The dock/beach/fire pit were great for getting outside and enjoying some beautiful mid-October weather. The kitchen was well-stocked, and anything else that we needed, we just went to the charming Alwards Market for! (make sure you get some of that bacon). We had fun playing scrabble and Monopoly, a few of the games provided. We left feeling refreshed and relaxed from our vacation!

This home is beautifully appointed, open & comfortable! The kitchen is fabulous, open to the family sitting area & dining room. The bed was so comfortable, linens were great, & every need was anticipated! Even have an electric teapot for us tea totalers! Tons of comfy sofa space for a big group & great stone fireplace! Huge tv! We loved our time there! Situated right on the lake with great patio & dock! We enjoyed antiquing in the area & seeing the beautiful fall colors all along the lake. I highly recommend this spot!
