Lake Helen Waterfront Retreat with fire pit and dock

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

Wade into the 2-foot water and cool off with the kids! The lake has soft sandy loam in the shallow waters. Navigate the grassy shoreline to enter the shallow crystal clear water. Take a look at those aerial photos! 1 canoe 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, 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.
