Great Cabin

Our stay at this cabin was wonderful. We had everything we could need and loved the detailed instructions for the fireplace as we did not luck out with good weather - cold, rainy and snowy - fire a must. Would 100% rent again - the owners are fantastic.

Beautiful view

Clean, welcoming cottage and property! An amazing view of the lake from inside the cottage. Which was nice as it was a little chilly and windy during our stay. Everything you need made available, snacks, firewood, bikes…. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Cottage on Lake Michigan

Stayed at the Lake Cottage with my wife & daughter and had a great time! House is right on the lake with a small private beach plus a patio above. Hosts left plenty of bottled water, firewood, some snacks/s’mores stuff, and even a bottle of wine. The views from the beach were even more impressive in person, my only regret is that we didn’t stay longer!

Perfect lake cottage

We have stayed at many homes along the lake and have enjoyed most but the owners here really go above and beyond to ensure your stay is amazing. There are too many details to name here but there is literally everything you need on-site and available for you to really enjoy this property. The best way I can describe it is fully stocked for however you want your stay to be. Thank you for sharing this treasure with my family.

Wonderful little slice of paradise

We had a wonderful vacation here! Nice sandy beach, fire pit, huge yard for games . . . Huge windows with a great view of the lake. The house was extremely clean and organized and had lots of nice touches like s'mores supplies, fire starters, a free bottle of wine, a foot-washing hose for coming back from the beach, and tons of lawn/beach games like badminton, cornhole, etc. The house is small but cozy and laid out efficiently. Thanks for everything!

Like another planet

This was our second time staying at the lake house and it was just as enjoyable if not more so, even though we had lots of rain, it made it a new fun experience. There is no bad weather when considering this lake view, sometimes at sunset it feels a bit like being on a different planet with all of the beautiful colors. The cottage is so cozy and with a full kitchen it’s so convenient and easy, we brought our own food both times so we didn’t have to leave. Highly recommend staying here if you get the chance, the lake view is such a soul refresher and the hosts are wonderful and generous!

Great time at the Lake Cottage! The cottage is clean, fully stocked with amenities and so close to Lake Michigan and the beach. There were a few miles of beach to walk on this summer, and it made for a very relaxing stay. Games, bikes and kayaks at the cottage are very nice! Alan and Linda are the best hosts! Thank you!

Serenity at its best

We arrived to a stunning view of the lake. The home was sparkling clean and beautifully appointed. This host thinks of everything: multiple beach chairs, 2 fire pits, games, cable TV, WiFi, movies and snacks. They also provided plentiful bottled water and even wine. They thought of everything! We soaked in the peaceful sounds of the waves and the stunning sunrises. A great respite!

Anniversary Trip to Relax

The house and property were wonderfully relaxing and beautiful. We rode provided bikes to the State Park near by, walked the mere feet to the lake shore, cooked out on the provided grills, and made s’mores on the fire pit. Five Stars!

We had a time to remember and would love to stay again!! The lake gave us unending fun with the tranquility of the waves, long walks on the shoreline finding “sea glass treasures,” paddling kayaks, watching sea gulls and schools of minnows in the water, beautiful moon glows and more! The owner’s are so generous and thoughtful with all of the extras they provide to make the stay relaxing and fun! We feel so blessed! Thank you for this wonderful experience!
