The location was good for our tour of Hillsdale College. Hadn't been to Michigan before and the countryside is beautiful. I wish the trip could have been later in the Fall when the colors come out because that would be awesome. Very nice place to get away and relax.
My family and I had a great stay. The host was very responsive to messages. The cottage was very clean and as described. We would stay again! Thank you.
A quiet and restful stay with a view to the water!!!

very hot weather while we were there and the AC worked awesome! outside area was cool and looked fun but too hot out to enjoy it. the lake is a 50 yard walk and very awesome. we had fun.
This is the second time this summer we've stayed at this property! We highly recommend it. It has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. It very clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. The owner is great to work with and was very accommodating to our needs and questions. We look forward to coming back a third time.
This is an awesome property! We needed a place to stay while we helped our elderly parents with the US 12 garage sale. The owner was very responsive with our questions. It was nice to come back to such a comfortable place after working all day. The beds were the most comfortable beds we've had at a rental property. We were hoping to extend our stay, but unfortunately for us, it was already rented. We will definitely be back!
If your looking for a home away from home to relax & get away this was nice. Loved taking our dogs (we consider family) it has a nice fenced yard easy to let them out especially while loading & unloading car. Would definitely stay ahaing. Family gAmes & water activities if u decide to go to the water. Nice having carryout walking distance with pizza & subs to if u didnt bring food. Thank you eve!!
We typically stay at a nearby rental that is closer to where my parents summer. Fortunately, that was booked. So, we stayed here. We were happy to be given clear instructions and find everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. From firewood, to cooking tools and bathroom amenities to kayaks, thoughtfulness was clearly put into every aspect of this rental.
Because of the heaviness of the rain, the property manager had to come on site and would have been unnoticed, apart from his kind heads up. Because of the one-level access compared to where we generally stay, this may become our once or twice annual resting place. Look no further. Book here if the size suits your needs!
A place to enjoy while my college student was packing up her dorm room
This was a lovely little cottage stocked with everything you need to enjoy a peaceful lake vacation. Very comfortable beds and furniture. Appliances worked beautifully and just about every need was anticipated. I was a bit concerned the first day about parking on the wood chips on the lawn, but it rained A LOT during our stay and driving across the indicated lawn was never a problem. The instructions were clear and helpful.
The front yard, between the house and the lake did get waterlogged , but if you are already wearing water shoes and heading for the lake, that's not a problem. We enjoyed to kayak and paddle boards and encountered many friendly people out on the water.. I definitely plan to book this place again. Close enough to town, yet far enough away to be restful.

Great location, 20 min run down state route for anything you need. Very quiet, love the fire pit out back.
This home was 10 minutes from Hillsdale colleges clay target competition center. We spent the week competing. The home was very clean and had what we needed.
