Pets: Welcome! Woof Woof! (just not in beds or on furniture) The fenced backyard is secure if you wish to leave your pets outdoors. Wildlife abounds on the property, so we recommend keeping pets on a leash when not in a secure area… lest they run off chasing a deer. If your furry friends are nervous or aggressive with people or other animals, please leave them in the fenced area or keep them on a lease. The property is home to free-range chickens, cattle, dogs, and a wide variety of wildlife... all friendly unless threatened. If your pets cannot be trusted to stay off the furniture and beds when you are not with them, crate them or leave them outside in the fenced area.
The lake is just across the pasture via the trail & gate to the left of the barns. The cattle are friendly, but curious and should not present any challenge. If you prefer, you may drive over via our driveway at 2900 and park by the barns to access the trails and lake. Catch all the fish you can! No license is required. If you wish to keep and eat some, check with us first. If you wish to feed them, they normally feed at the end of the afternoon, unless the surface water is too cold for them to come up. They get a scoop of fish food found in the metal trash can on the dock. You may borrow the kayaks and
paddle boards for a cruise. Paddles are on the rack. The SeaCycle is not available to guests. No fishing, swimming or boating after sundown. Four lounge chairs are available at the dock. Please fold them down when leaving, lest the wind blow them into the lake. Missing lounge chairs will be billed at $100/each.
Please shut off the propane tank at tank if using the outdoor grill. If not, a $25 fee will be charged.
There is NO MICROWAVE in the Cottage, (if you are still using one at home, you may be interested to read the Hans Hertel Study) You may bring your own, though. There is a toaster oven/ air fryer and a full gas range with oven. Air fryer instructions are a in the drawer next to the fridge, if you are unfamiliar.
Smoking outside only.
There is a 1+ mile hiking trail that starts just on the other side of the split-rail fence opening to the left of the barns (as viewed from the Cottage). If you proceed down the hill on the far side of that fence, a trail will open up at the bottom and lead you around the outskirts of the property.

Summary: We picked Palmlake Cottage because it was very close to our son and it was pet friendly, also access to a lake. Well it definitely surpassed our expectations, everything you would ever need was provided and the cottage itself was meticulously clean. Cliff was always available if you needed him for anything. The lake was a short walk from the cottage and our son caught the biggest large mouth bass he has ever caught! We had a wonderful trip and will definitely visit again. Thank you Janice, Bryan & Shadow.

Summary: My wife and I were in the area for my daughter’s wedding. We needed a house where her dogs could stay for the wedding and this house was perfect. After the wedding it was quiet enough that we could recuperate.

Summary: Overall, our visit was peaceful and relaxing. The cottage is roomy and has everything you could need. I didn't read the listing very well because I thought we would be closer to the lake. The only downside was the fenced yard because its not maintained and or kept tidy. There are lots of mushrooms growing and has an old dirty doghouse. Looks abandoned. s
