Top Guernsey Lake Hotel Reviews

Cozy Cottage on Boardman River. Great location for fishing with a fire pit.

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a lovely home nestled in the woods where the architecture of the home itself (clerestory and skylight windows throughout) made it feel like we were immersed in nature itself for the entire stay. The wrap around porch was also a winderful place to sit, eat and enjoy the forest. The property is near a state forest campground so the surroundings were beautifully remote feeling with uninterrupted trees and the rustic walkway to the Boardman river was nice. We would highly recommend as a quiet retreat from hectic lives and busy schedules. The house had everything needed for a comfortable stay."

Shadowland River Lodge on Boardman River - Pet Friendly - Acreage - Private

10/10 Excellent

"Third stay here and each time gets a little longer. Jason and Nicole have created the perfect cabin in a perfect setting. Never have I seen my husband and our dog happier. Clean, well stocked, great hot tub. Perfection! Thank you guys!"

Fiebing's Rustic/Remote Cabin on two Private Lakes

10/10 Excellent

"This property is rustic but is described as such, so if you are looking for the four seasons, don’t come here and then complain. It is a WONDERFUL rustic cabin with so much room to roam on trails through the woods and around the lakes. There are lots of fish in the lake and wildlife in the woods. Everything is very comfortable. Highly recommend."

Waterfront log home on Elk Lake with dock and mooring, window A/C. Dog ok.

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice yard to view Lake and room for my daschund to rome. Liked the privacy. Brought my canoe and was easy enough launch and tie up to the dock. Water was shallow so a big boat might be an issue. House was cozy and comfortable."

Giuliana Rose Farmhouse

10/10 Excellent

"This property was excellent. Spacious, clean and great communication with the host. I highly recommend this property and will stay there again myself. Best rental I have had in a while. Gorgeous home in a quiet area yet near restaurants and shopping. 5 star experience"

"great place, great location. Some but not all enjoyed the hot tub (chose not to get in the tub) watched football instead :-)Coffer maker and toaster could be updated.Other than that - very nice."

Cozy lakefront cabin, TONS of amenities; dog friendly; 15 mins to downtown TC

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute like place on a small body of water. We enjoyed taking the pedal boat out around the small island. Just far enough out of the city it’s a short drive into TC. although the property is close to the owners home they are extremely nice individuals and would recommend anyone who wants a peaceful experience but not too far away from the city of TC to stay here. Cozy and comfortable accommodations!"
