Weekend Getaway
My husband and I came out for a little weekend getaway. The place was just what we needed. Quiet, clean, and with lovely views of the lake. The lake is very shallow, so if bringing a boat, be sure to do your research on the lake beforehand.

Perfect relaxing getaway.
This is the perfect place for a weekend trip. Enjoying meals from the screened in porch over looking the lake was wonderful. Relaxing in the hot tub looking up at the stars. Sitting by the fire at night or watching movies on the very comfortable sectional. Even caught some catfish right from the backyard. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and the host was very helpful and answered any questions we had very quickly.

Checked all of our boxes!
What a lovely place to come to and relax after dropping our son off at Coe College. The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect stay: cozy, clean home, kitchen packed with all the things one needs for cooking, comfortable bed, incredible views of the lake-THE SUNSET! We would definitely come back!

Quiet lake house for short getaway
We booked this place for a short weekend trip between busy summer activities. It’s in a quiet location right on Cedar Lake. The kitchen and carpet could use a little updating, but it was clean and has everything needed for a short stay. We spent most of the time sitting on the dock and screened in porch. We really enjoyed our stay!

Nashua Lake House
This property was amazing! We were steps away from the lake. The house was stocked with everything we needed & more. The kitchen had everything we needed & was equipped with spices, condiments & pantry staples. The saving grace for us was the battery charger in the garage as my alternator went out on our trip. Absolutely will stay here again if in the area.

Anniversary stay
Disappointed about flat bike tires and no way to get kayak out of lake from dock. Pontoon wasn’t available but we were promised boat time on a return visit. Lovely home, well stocked and clean. Nicely furnished. Fire pit was lovely overlooking the lake. Screened in porch was greatly appreciated. We’d like to return to this location and be able to enjoy time on the water too.

Cosy and clean place to stay while visiting Nashua. The weather didn’t cooperate, but the house has a good view of the lake and is close to a paved trail for walking, exploring or biking with little kids.

Perfect small town lake house!
Highly recommended. What a restful trip we had! The hot tub fit two people perfectly. Temperature was great. Lake view was beautiful. We even braved the cold and made s’mores using the fire pit outside. The bathroom has heated floors which was a fun luxury. Couch was super comfy. Communication with the home owner was super easy.

Relaxing property, Great host
Regrettably we were only able to stay one night. There were so many things to enjoy. A beautiful walking path by the lake, bike trails (not paved/may want a gravel bike, although the property has bikes to use), kayaking and canoeing(available on the property), hot tub and fire pit to enjoy the lake and the stars. On top.of all that, the host was very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this property.
