About this property

Heritage Cottage on Baker Point is a slice of history. Baker Point has a sand bar that runs 100 yards out into the lake only waist deep making it perfect for children and fishing.
Heritage is recently refurbished, however this 200 year old landmark is the oldest cottage on the lake. If you are looking for luxurious accomodations this is not the place. The main cabin was built around 1820 and pulled behind horses across the frozen lake and placed atop the hill on Baker Point overlooking the lake. The floors are slanted and windows are crooked. We love it. Nestled among the pines the lumber jacks picked this beautiful site for good reason. The Captains Quarters includes a brand new California King bed and a day bed for a child. The Common Quarters is one large room with 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds. Be aware that the staircase to the Common Quarters is steep as it is original. Small children should not attempt to climb unaccompanied by an adult. Heritage Includes a 50 inch Smart HDTV and Wifi, new refrigerator, old stove and pretty much everything you need in the kitchen and bedrooms. Also includes nonexclusive use of the fire-pit, dock, 2 kayaks and the canoe which are shared by Eagles Nest which is also located on Baker Point. Heritage has priority use of the canoe and kayaks and Eagles Nest has priority use of the fishing boat. Heritage is not a year round home and is only suitable for living before the temperature drops. No AC, no insulation, but lots of fans and lake breeses. Although Eagle's Nest is new and also on the property, Heritage is where our family stays every summer. We have been on the lake for 130 years and been spending summer's in Heritage for about 60 years so please help us keep the place kept up and let us know immediately if an issue arrises. Wildlife abounds. Deer, raccoons, eagles, ducks, squirrels and chipmunks are a part of daily life here. Be aware that bears, wolves, cougars and field mice can make the rare appearance as well so take care not to invite them. For cold weather months please check out Eagles Nest. Extremely peaceful yet only 3 miles by road and 1/2 mile by boat to Restaurants, Taverns, Dairy Queen, Coffee Shop, Groceries, gas station, a boat landing, and Public Beach with Playground.

BEAUTIFUL OLD COTTAGE!

This is actually my fifth stay at Heritage, but my first review. I just love this place. It's just as advertised in the description, 200 years of charm updated with all the comforts of home. It has perfect views, looking through the pines, above a gorgeous lake. Being my fifth stay I feel I’m almost an expert. The history of Heritage is that the living room section was built more than 200 years ago and pulled across the ice by horses and placed at the perfect spot when there was only this cabin on this sunset side of the lake. The original hardwood floors are warped and the stairs are steep, but the charm is throughout. The beds and linens are new and comfortable. The kitchen is complete for any kind of cooking and baking. The place is clean and obviously cared for. Although icy on this trip, in warmer weather this has been the perfect place for my young son to swim safely as the water is only waist deep for a long ways out on Baker Point. Pretty much every day it's the best place to take in the stunning sunsets. I will be back, hopefully every year. The historical ambience of this place alone makes it a perfect vacation destination.

Fyi

Rustic… aka needs some improvement. If you have young kids, not the best place. Location on the lake is great, neighborhood is nice. Dock and local beach are nice. Clean sheets, linens, and bathroom. Kayaks were nice. Needs improvement: many lights don’t work well, be prepared for mice, lots of bugs and spiders, few plug ins without covers. No air conditioner, but fans made it work. Appliances are available for cooking. There is outdoor furniture at the fire pit, few are broken.

Dead mouse and mouse droppings

This was the worst experience we’ve ever had at a vacation rental and we have rented all over. When we arrived, the upstairs smelled so terrible. We discovered a dead mouse on the rug, and it was not fresh. There were mouse droppings throughout the house. There was mouse poison on the kitchen floor just in sight and reach of our toddler. It was not ok. Overall, the rest of the cottage was dirty. The linens and towels did appear clean. We were very disappointed to come back to visit our hometown area to be treated so poorly by the host and VRBO. My uncle even made the signs for the owner for the property. We contacted the host and then VRBO about the stench and dead rodent the first day and talked to customer service every day of our stay thereafter to receive a refund and find a habitable place to stay for our vacation. The host offered to send housekeeping the next day. If it had been indicated in the listing that there was a rodent infestation and poison out, we would never have booked. Needless to say, we were unable to stay at this location and enjoy our vacation.

Great stay!

Heritage House is charming and historic (yes, the floors are uneven), and it won’t take you long to fall under it’s spell. The beds are very comfortable with nicely appointed bed linens. My children loved bunking together in the upstairs bed room with lake views. The kitchen and bathroom are fully stocked (dishes/pots/pans/etc. and plush towels/soap/shampoo/conditioner), and even the water pressure is great. The lake is crystal clear and is great for swimming. The property has a well-maintained canoe and kayaks with life jackets. (We brought our own infant and children life jackets). Bring warm pajamas for chilly evenings (although heaters and fans are provided), beach towels, and an eye mask if you want to sleep in. Better yet, enjoy your coffee at the end of the dock at dawn. It’s magical. Finally, Todd is super responsive and helpful…thank you for a great stay!

About the host

Why they chose this property

This is the oldest cabin on the lake. The lumberjacks choose this beautiful spot among the pines for good reason. More than a 150 years ago it was pulled across the ice during the winter and placed on this property. Even the lumber jacks new that this was the best property on the lake. When you start using the lake you will see why. Baker Point has a sand bar less than 4 feet deep which runs several hundred feet straight out from shore. On both sides of this point there are gradual drop-offs. This makes for the perfect spot for fishing as well as swimming and learning to ski for young children.
