"Overall the home was very nice and cozy. Only issues were minor, some silverware had to be rewashed, personal communication was non-existant leaving it unclear how to ask questions for like finding extra blankets...which we never found. That said, we loved the place overall and would recommend to friends and family."

"Stayed at this amazing updated lakefront cottage with my sister and niece for the Frankfort 70.3 Ironman race. Location could not be better. Cottage is updated and pictures are accurate. Host was VERY accommodating and great, very fast communication through the whole process. Comfortable beds. Kitchen had all the necessities to make this place your home. 10 stars all the way around. Only wish I could have stayed longer. Will definitely stay again if I make it back up to the area. Thank you for...

"The property is beautiful - the cottage is modern with a beautiful aesthetic. Appliances are all top grade. Beds super comfortable. Fabulous view of the lake from inside and out on a wonderful deck. Steps to the private beach. A wonderful fire pit out front. Beautiful sunsets. And the nature! We saw at least four different bald eagles. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming. This is a great place for families and couples alike. Two different wings give different parties privacy and their...

"Second time staying here. Has everything you need. The swimming area is all sand, which is nice. Plenty of shade if you want to get out of the sun."

"The paddle boards and canoes on the lake made the trip really fun for teenagers. Right on a nice lake so it’s shallow enough to explore and also swim out deeper and much warmer than Lake Michigan which is close enough to drive back and forth from easily."

"A very nice quiet area with beautiful lake views. The cottage was very clean and had everything needed for our stay. Looking forward to staying longer again next summer. "

"Had a perfect weekend with a group of friends! Such a wonderful cabin and the guest house added so much room."

"Great little cottage on the lake!"

"We loved this home! Nice large kitchen that was stocked very well. Very clean and comfortable. Just 25 minutes away from Caberfae! Home sits on a wooded lot. It was a winter wonderland! We would stay her again."

"Great place to stay , kids had a lot of fun"

"We have always wanted to travel up north and this cabin was a dream come true!! Was the best place to take our first family vacation!!"

"We loved our stay at the lake. The view was so beautiful and the home was so comfortable for our family. The deck and outside lights provided a outdoor space. We would definitely stay here again."

"What a perfect family vacation! The property is perfect with fun options for the kids on the water. My two boys loved the SUPs and kids kayaks and were anxious to use them throughout our stay. The location is quiet and far from noisy touristy spots. We were pleasantly surprised! The cottage was only a few feet from the water which was perfect! We will be back!"

"We absolutely loved this property. If you desire a relaxing, isolated, and peaceful get away this is the place. Manistee is 15 to 20 minute drive, so make sure you take what you need. We witnessed the most amazing sunsets. We will definitely return."

"We were in the area to check out some of the local disc golf courses. The house was as described. Very well stocked and close to what we needed. The television was a little tricky to get working properly but we were able to figure it out eventually. We did not use the sauna, but did use the fire pit which was lovely to have. There was a dog that wandered into the yard from next door. It took a moment to get the people to come get him. Our dog is nervous around new dogs so we had to make sure we...

"Absolutely perfect for 3 friends getting away for a few days. The house was immaculate, beds were great, kitchen and supplies were more than expected. Nothing but perfection."
