Adorable lake cottage!

My partner and I found this adorable cottage the perfect place to relax and recharge. It is cozy, comfortable, and so very well stocked with anything you might need. We enjoyed sitting by the lake, fishing (well feeding the fish), and learning to kayak for my first time. The lake is clear with and sandy bottom with plenty of fish seen swimming near shore! We loved every moment! Karen & Jodi are very welcoming with a basket of smore fixings, a handwritten note, and a mid-week call to check on our stay!

Cute Lake Cottage

This lake cottage was quite on a beautiful lake. It has everything you need for a long stay. A new air conditioner was installed and cooled the whole cottage. I didn't use it much because the breeze off the lake was awesome. I stayed the 3rd week in June. Your hosts are very receptive to your needs. Will book this cottage again in future travels to Michigan. Thanks Karen and Jodi. Nancy Ball

Lakeside Relaxing

The property was small but had all the amenities we could need. There was a mix up with the WiFi password and the tv had issues, but Karen and Jodi were super helpful and quick to respond. Karen even stopped by to check on us during our stay which was so thoughtful! The house was super clean and had all the things we needed for our week long stay! I will say the lake was busier during the weekend than I imagined so we had to stay close to the dock as we weren’t boating, just swimming. The hosts provided tons of floaters (we had brought our own though) and even complimentary drinks in the fridge! I would definitely stay again and highly recommend the hosts as they are wonderful!

Leisure at the lake

The house is perfect for a couple that needs a place to rest their heads at night. The location is a walk from the back door to the lake for a morning swim, paddle board, kayak.

Cabin was cozy, fit the 4 of us comfortably. Lake was calm and beautiful- the sunset views were spectacular. Having access to the dock to park our boat was a major perk. We learned quickly not to leave any food/soda on the countertop as small ants will find it quickly! Other than that, we had a wonderful stay.

Relaxing Lake Vacation

Me, my husband, and our 5 year old stayed at the lake house over the 4th of July weekend. We wanted a laid back, relaxing vacation this year and this rental for perfect for that. The location on the lake is just wonderful. It’s up on a hill so you get beautiful views of the lake all day long. The water was warm and sandy-bottomed, and as long as the dock is available you’ve got full access to fishing and swimming, which we did practically all day for the entire week. We knew the 4th would get busy, and it did, at which point we had to move our activities from the dock on property down the street to the small public beach. Everyone we met was extremely friendly and the neighbors were especially kind. My son loved the bunk bed and the “funky” decor in the bathroom. This is a very family friendly rental. The host has equipped the kitchen and bathroom extremely well. We had everything we needed to cook and clean for our entire stay, as well as plenty of clean towels and toilet paper. The property runs on a septic system, so the water pressure isn’t the best, but that wasn’t an issue for us. A note for families with small children - there isn’t a bathtub, only a standing shower (which was fine for us) and there’s no on-site laundry either. There’s a clothes line to hang wet swim clothes and towels, which we appreciated. The host was easy to reach and communicate with. Overall we enjoyed our stay and had a nice relaxing week.

relaxing getaway

we loved being in the water floating, fishing and just talking to each other. The wineries were wonderful to visit and do some taste testing, the farmer markets had some good deals with home made cheese and jerky. The neighbors were friendly and we enjoyed talking to them and petting their friendly dog, thank you for the use of your cottage we needed the break from the rat race called life. Thank You till next time

Good memories

We absolutely loved this little cottage and it’s location. Karen was absolutely amazing and such a sweet soul. We are a family of 5 and fit completely comfortable. The cottage was cozy and very welcoming. The view from the back porch is amazing as well as the neighborhood. We made so many good memories and will definitely be booking again next year.

True to the listing!

Our stay was enjoyable and we found the property true to the listing. We were very appreciative of the owner going out of their way to ensure we had a kayak to use during our stay also, despite some minor repairs needed due to normal wear and tear!

nice cottage on lake

Cottage was small but the outside being by the lake made up for it. Property manager was quick to respond to issues. View of lake was great from cottage. Nice little beach.

Beautiful lake!

It was a great stay, the most we loved is the lake. The water was very warm and had very nice, sandy bottom. The house did not come to my standards, but overall I enjoyed my stay.

relaxing time

My sons and I enjoyed our stay. It was nice weather and staying by the water made it comforting. I had visited nearby towns that my family used to live in and enjoyed seeing that again. The cottage was very tidy and had a lot of the essentials that we needed. I used the kayak and a couple of the flotation devices. When I had a couple of questions they got back to me quickly. Overall had an enjoyable time.

Hemlock Lake

The cottage was quaint and Hemlock Lake is a great spring fed lake. The temperature was ideal and relaxing. We were able to visit fun locations within 45 minutes of the cottage and could be back to the lake to cool off. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking dinners. The hosts very receptive to questions with quick response. We enjoyed the fire ring out front for s'mores in the evening.

Lake house

My family of three had a nice week at the cottage. The cottage was clean and cozy upon arrival. The lake was beautiful, with crystal clear water and a sandy bottom. We had fun paddling around the lake in the kayaks provided, fishing and swimming. Check in was contact free, and they checked in on us and answered any questions promptly via phone or text.

Usually stay with friends but we wanted some privacy. The cottage provided everything we needed. Coffee in the morning down by the dock and sandy beach for swimming. Very relaxing atmosphere, would recommend this place anytime for a spring, summer or fall getaway.

Beautiful location on crystal clear lake

Wonderful layout of cottage with screened porch overlooking lake made for a terrific vacation even on rainy days. Sunsets enjoyed from the multi layer decks as well as from the new boat ramp. Water so clear one can see the small fish and visits by blue heron. Huge shade trees made it comfortable on hot days. Will return next year!

Clear water and sandy bottom provided our own private beach.

We had a great week at this lake property. Water is crystal clear, has sandy bottom, and shallow water was perfect for fun in the sun for my 4 year old. Kayaks and beach toys were used a lot. Fishing off the pier was good for my daughter, although the fishing was lackluster for me. House had plenty of room for the three of us, was very clean and offered everything we needed. Owner met us on first day to introduce herself which we appreciated. Quiet area and nice neighbors. We would stay again.

Quiet Escape

The Cottage was exactly as described and the waterfront provided our family with hours of swimming and kayaking. During the week there were usually only 1-2 boats on the lake, so it was very quiet. Karen was a wonderful host and we had no issues. Thank you for a wonderful experience in Michigan.

Sweet little lakehouse

Beautiful lakefront with epic sunsets. Spent a lot of time in the water or near it. Nice quiet neighborhood close to anything you'd need. Cabin is small but in good weather who cares. Super nice host made sure we had what we needed.
