Great lil cabin close to the lake!

Check in was easy, cabin was very clean and kitchen fully stocked with dishes and cookware. Master room had great views to wake up to. Hot tub was awesome. Short walk to dock and lake, swimming right at the dock with a sandy bottom. Only downside is the firepit was almost over full so we could not use it. Other than that was great place, would stay again!!

A great property to get away while still being near everything.

My wife and I had a short vacation and it was great. Property is very private/secluded yet you are still only 10 minutes away from restaurants and grocery stores. In addition you are no more than 1 hour away from all of SW Michigans great beach towns (St. Joe, South Haven, Holland, Saugatuck). Property was very clean, had everything we need and check in/check out was very smooth. Highly recommend staying here

Great spot!

We really enjoyed our stay! We loved the quick access to the lake (less than 30 second walk), and kayaking. The cabin is up on a hill in the trees, even with a couple of other houses around it is very quiet and peaceful. We will definitely want to stay here again!
