In short this was an exceptional property with the consummate host! My family (5 of us) had a tremendous time at The Lincoln Cottage. I was blown away by how well outfitted the kitchen, and the whole property, were. I packed a bag of kitchen tools and devices and frankly needed none. The rooms were all clean and charming and the main floor was cozy and comfortable We were there over Christmas and Rob even had a tree up for us. From an amenities and comfort standpoint the property was all that it promised and more. The harder to describe was the "Vibe". This is clearly a house that has known a loving family and that permeates the entire place. There is just a sense of warmth and comfort that is hard to put your finger on. The large fireplace with the couches all around inspired reading, napping and in the evenings, laughing and family games. The wrap around porch afforded great views of the lake and the Boat House offered the perfect location for our "Polar Plunge"! As a host Rob was fantastic. He greeted us warmly with a tour when we arrived and txtd a couple times to check on us. He was available but by no means over present. I wish all hosts could strike his balance. Over all this was an outstanding experience by every measure. I give Rob the high marks possible and will look forward to returning again this summer!!

Robert was wonderful to deal with from the beginning. When we arrived, he showed up to provide a tour and insights into the workings of the home and its fully stocked kitchen. Although we were not blessed with the best of weather during our stay, the home provided an ideal spot to hang out together around the fire or overlooking the lake. It was well maintained and clean and the top floor was a perfect spot for the kids to play, hang out, or just chill. A wonderful spot to spend a winter or summer week. Thank you Robert for your hospitality!

This home was perfect for a family gathering! We gathered as a family to honor my Dad who brought us all to the lakes region way back when. The house was perfect for meals, games and water activities together and close to camp grounds for extra sleeping. Robert was an excellent host and the the house had everything your could think of! We brought a boat as well and the boat house worked out perfectly. Highly recommend!
