Description Description
Welcome to Cedar Cove Cottage, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This charming lake house is situated directly on the serene shores of Lake Helen and equipped with all the amenities for outdoor enjoyment.

Wade into the 2-foot water and cool off with the kids! The lake has soft loam in the shallow waters. Navigate the grassy shoreline to enter the shallow crystal clear water. Take a look at those aerial photos! 2 canoes and 1 paddleboat are available for guest use!

The Lake has quiet 'no wake' times in the early morning and late afternoon ideal for fishing and relaxation. Feel free to bring your boat and leave it at the dock. The water around the dock is shallow (about 2 feet) so a pontoon will work best.
You will have the entire house, yard, and dock to yourself! You can also drive or walk the 1 mile to Lake Helen County Park that offers a boat launch, swimming beach, and a playground.

It's very close to the snowmobile trails for winter fun! Nearby, you'll find supper clubs, a café, and taverns.

1 well-behaved dog up to 40 pounds is allowed. There is an additional fee collected at booking. Dogs must be always leashed outside.

Husband and son stayed during a motocross trip and this place was perfect to come back, fish and relax after a long day. Host was great, it was so peaceful. Everything worked as it should. My husband enjoyed it so much he actually wrote in the guest book 😀. Will definitely book again if we ever come back to the area!

Two adults and four kids stayed: 7, 5, 3, and 2. We liked that there were plenty of linens including bath and beach towels. The washer and dryer on site was helpful. The kitchen is stocked with every imaginable appliance and utensil. We liked that there were minimal things for the kids to get into as far as being child proof. The bedrooms have an a/c unit which helped. We liked the pier however the listing says it’s a shallow sandy beach- and it’s shallow but not sandy. We brought a lily pad that the kids played on. It’s two feet of water and three feet of muck around the pier which wasn’t ideal for swimming/floating. Across the lake, (1 mile by road) there is a nice community park and beach that’s great for playing and swimming. We appreciated a hose outside to rinse off sand and muck. Overall it was a great weekend.

Thank you for your detailed review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that your family had an overall great experience during your stay. The information you provided about the pier, the nearby community park and beach is particularly helpful for future guests. The state of the lake water surrounding the property ebbs and flows pending with how much the lake is used. Your feedback helps us improve our property and ensure that it meets the needs of our guests. We look forward to having you stay with us again in the future.

Ending up being a last minute stay. The rest of our family stayed home and harvested wheat. Beautiful, quaint cottage. The 2 window air conditioners were very adequate and stayed cool all weekend. Wi fi was great and 2 bathrooms were a plus. Will definitely be a repeat customer if we're in the area.
