Turkey Hunting Camp
The cottage worked out great for spring turkey hunting camp with lots of public hunting land nearby. It has a cozy atmosphere and the view of the lake is terrific.

Favorite Fall Break
It’s our 3rd year at this cozy cottage. Our family absolutely loves it. Location is great for the trail riding. Kids love kayaking right on the lake. The bar next door is great for pizza. It’s exactly what we look for for our fall break weekend.

Fun Adventures and relaxation at its best
We really enjoyed our stay, the property was clean, stocked with the essentials needed to cook or grill your meals, and the kayaks were fun! We brought our ATVs so we could explore the area and take in the beauty of the forest and the trails are right across the road. We had some delicious food and cold beer at the Hideaway Bar right up the driveway and caught bluegill, rock bass and small mouth bass wile fishing. Would recommend to our friends and family and we hope to come back again!

We loved our stay (again). This was our second time at the property and we certainly hope to return again. Starvation Lake is so peaceful and the bar at the end of the drive was a hit for some in our group.
