If you’re looking for a beautiful place with multiple options for relaxing, this is it! If you love the sounds of nature and being near water, this is the place to be!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house! You can truly tell that so much thought and care went into every aspect of the home. The attention to detail is evident throughout, and it made the whole experience feel so special. I loved reading the guidebook, which included fascinating history about the area, the owner and Roxie Point, it was such a thoughtful touch that made us feel even more connected to the place. Jill was absolutely amazing, and her hospitality was beyond anything we could have expected. We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and we loved it so much that we ended up extending our stay! The home itself was incredibly clean, relaxing, and the views from every room were breathtaking. Listening to the sound of the waves at night became one of my favorite parts, it was so soothing and peaceful. We will definitely be back! Thank you for providing such a beautiful oasis and for making our stay so memorable.

Excellent stay. Location is great. Host was very communicative-had one question when arrived and got an immediate response. Airbnb has uniquely large outdoor space (for such a central location). Loved lounging on outdoor daybed swing and using hot tub. Pup loved the fenced backyard (yes it’s fully fenced-I was not 100 percent sure from one pic). We had a great time and would recommend..

What an absolute gem of a stay. The property is impeccably maintained and so beautiful. The guests house that we stayed in was so comfortable and very clean. The bed is quite possibly the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. The pool and the hot tub are perfect. The doggo’s are super sweet and lovable. Danielle and the rest of the team are all very smart and a pleasure to talk with. We will definitely be referring the place to our friends and will be back ourselves every year as long as it’s available.

Great little house that was very cozy. We really enjoyed our little get away and this house.

An absolutely beautiful stay! Many amenities to make it a comfortable stay! Beautifully decorated! Comfortable bed! Wonderful nights spent n the relaxing hot tub! Enjoyed a great fire pit one night too. Loved the private beach-so peaceful and relaxing! Looking forward to coming back!

No notes, incredible escape even in the pouring rain. The ambience, even down to the little things like walking through the door to classical music, was truly top notch.

This is a perfect little get away, peaceful view right in the river. House is beautiful and neighbors on either side were very welcoming and friendly.

Exceptional views of the lake, spacious and clean place for an excellent price. What more can you ask for when visiting a place like this!? Kristin and Graciela (the caretaker) were extremely responsive and accommodating. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

We really enjoyed or stay at Studio Sunset. The apartment was quiet, modern, & very clean! The views were dreamlike and beautiful. We had a great time sitting on the roof terrace watching the surrounding mountains and sunset. What a breathtaking view, photos do not do it justice! I got a bit hot so we headed down to the lake to cool down, there was a great little park area with benches and shade. Freddie and Tina were extremely accommodating when we had some questions during our stay. Thank you for the hospitality, I would highly recommend this location!

It was a great house with great hosts

We absolutely loved our stay at Roland’s home. The views from the panoramic room were gorgeous all day and night - whenever we were on the property we were either enjoying that room or down at the peaceful lake shoreline. Roland was extremely helpful, a fantastic communicator, and gave a great recommendation for food. We went in many directions and packed our days full of experiences while here but loved coming “home” to Roland’s property to relax and recharge each day. The local town of Sarnen was also very charming! Would highly recommend this stay.

The location was great and Dayna was an excellent host. We really enjoyed sitting on the covered balcony overlooking the lake.

Staying and Maria’s home was wonderful! The views are spectacular and the balcony is quite wide, providing lots of outdoor living space. The apartment is quite spacious and was kept in very good condition. Maria gave very clear instructions for check in and check out which made the process very smooth.

An incredibly beautiful accommodation with a roof terrace that is second to none! Super nice contact and very lovingly furnished.

The place was beautiful, unique, on Lake Como with direct access to the lake. I think it’s the perfect place to relax, sunbath and enjoy the lake. Beautiful table to eat outside. It was also super clean ! We knew there would be stairs, it might have been a little bit more than we expected (80)! But the owner was really nice and offered to help us as I do not travel light ! Highly recommend renting a small car/Vespa as public transport are not reliable and the only Ubers available are the black uber which are more expensive. We had a série 4 bmw to give you an idea, I would say that if your car is much wider than that it will be a little tight to go down the driveway, but doable. The parking itself is huge. There is a portable A/C, we went in June and didn’t need it as the breeze from the lake was enough to keep us cool at night. Owner was also nice enough to let us do part of our wedding photoshoot at her beautiful Villa ! Unique experience, we really loved it !

Very nice place and owners are attentive and helpful ! Nice and quite but close to many fun places if you want to go out.

I feel very confident this is the most stunning property on the island! It’s magical. We had a few small hiccups, but Joao was extremely responsive and helped us resolve them quickly. The only thing I would mention is that the glass makes a lot of noise when it is changing temp, which you get use to, and it’s worth the floor to ceiling windows, but it’s just something to be aware of. Thanks Joao!!!!

This place was built with the river and sunset in mind! The angle of the house is perfectly set to see the river flow from one end to the other! Two sides of the house has large glass windows where you have a picturesque view from the house and loft. The house smelt and looked squeaky clean inside. The decor was well thought out and aesthetically pleasing. The house is small but very functional for it’s purpose. We felt right at home and comfortable. There were fresh eggs and butter in the refrigerator for breakfast and bread and coffee cake in the freezer which was a very nice and thoughtful touch. The kitchen and bathroom was stocked with essentials too. We were just passing through town and hoped for a relaxing place to stay. We were not disappointed! Wish we could have stayed longer! Maybe next time.

awesome awesome stay, great for my husband and i and the dogs! looked forward to having coffee overlooking the lake every morning. it was so peaceful we would definitely book again!

very nice and relaxing

I would highly recommend the Honey Bee Cottage to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Champaign - Urbana. The hosts were very kind and welcoming from the start. The place was beautiful, tranquil, and very clean. It made my time in the area all the more enjoyable and memorable. If you're looking for a comforting place to stay, this is it!

Our original plans were put off due to a storm coming through the night before causing a power outage, so since we were going to be going through Florence to get to our other location, we found this cabin on Airbnb just a couple hours before we would be arriving. I messaged Laura to see if we could stay the night and she responded quickly and said to give her 30 minutes to get it ready. Such a beautiful setting! I could live on that deck just watching the boats go down the creek. It was so peaceful and a beautiful stop on our way out of town

We had a very peaceful, relaxing stay! The hosts and manager were very friendly, helpful, and proactive. It was a beautiful setting and we would come back again!
