My father and I visited the cottage on the recomendation of a friend, As the lake information says this is not a swiming lake. But we rented the cottage with intentions of catching some of the lakes bass and northern. With the help from my friends who live close by and were nice enough to show us a few of there secrets we were able to catch some really nice large mouth late in the week. ( 2.5- 5lbs). This is a very weedy lake and to all bass fishermen I strongly recomend a stiff rod and heavy braided line, as we started with monofiliment and found the bass will break off in the weed beds. We found with heavy braided line we could horse them out of the weeds easily. I did loose a realy nice northern about a mile up in the river but we found the northern sizes fairly small. The cottage is EXTREMELY NICE and was very comfortable, and also was stocked with more ammeneties than expected. The owners were also extremely nice and helpful. The wisconsin dells was only 35miles and the local town of montello was really nice. I would recomend this secluded cottage to anyone who loves to fish and wants a quiet getaway from the rat race of every day life, I look forward to returning next year.

In November I met with 5 high school friends at Hummingbird Cottage. What a great place for a girls getaway! There are plenty of beds for everyone. The cottage is so clean and homey. With a full kitchen, we were able to potluck our meals instead of going out all of the time. Fabulous shopping in the area. I would have never guessed! Check out Ripon, Princeton and Montello.
I can't wait to for next year when we meet at Hummingbird Cottage once again.

Our family, which includes 3 children, had a wonderful time at the Hummingbird Cottage (we actually saw a hummingbird hovering around the flowers in the front of the house). There was so much to do, we never had a reason to leave the cottage. There was a beautiful view of the lake and the changing colors, and it was very secluded and quiet. Our hosts were extremely gracious and put forth a great deal of effort with the little details to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We would, without hesitation recommend this cottage to all our friends.

The stay at Hummingbird was very pleasant. We had gone with a group of friends and had a great time.
I would recommend this house to my friends, and it’s certainly worth a revisit!

We enjoyed our visit to this property very much. We did not expect to swim in the lake as it states on the website that it is good for fishing but is not a swimming lake. There was no shortage of "fishing fun" and the house was immaculate. If only the rain had stayed away - but we found plenty of activities in the house to keep us busy. We did go into one of the small towns nearby for a nice lunch and to spend some time in the quaint stores there.
I would definitely recommend this property to others who are looking for a relaxing, peaceful spot to enjoy fishing fun, or cruising on a lake.

My family and I had a wonderful time! My two nieces along with my dad and sister had a great time fishing! It is just a great get-away from city life. It is very peaceful!

I would also recommend the restaurants Underwood and the Stone Cutter in Montello if you like soup and sandwiches or pizza"Yummy" along with checking out the antique store and the candy store!

I would go back in a heart beat!

We stayed at the Hummingbird Cottage during the month of June. It was everything the owner stated and then some. As the owner clearly stated on the site
"This is a fishing lake, not for swimming" we were prepared with our fishing poles in hand. We caught a few crappies and shared in some great family memories. The owner was also kind enough to rent his pontoon boat which we thorougly enjoyed. The sunsets were beautiful and after sleeping in the "up north" themed room we were awakened in the morning to the sound of the soulful loons. We were able to also visit the city of Princeton. It is about 30 minutes away and has many quaint shops and splendid restaurants. This was truly a family vacation we will remember for years to come and would recommend to our friends.
