Relaxing space

The area was relaxing and the house was good. It needs a little TLC and some cleaning that everyone’s house needs. The lighter in the grill didn’t work but the gas stove and a candle gets that job done. All in all it was a good place to stay and very relaxing.

Quiet and cozy

We loved our stay at this location. We would definitely go back. It was easy to find, easy to access and had an amazing view. One thing we were underwhelmed with was the cleanliness of the place. While a cottage can have a “cottage feel“ it doesn’t take much to make sure certain things are cleaned before people use them. For example: The coffee pot had used grounds left in it that were moldy. maybe make sure your cleaning service is doing what they’re being asked to, because while the towels and linens were clean, it seems the rest of the place could use some attention (window sills were dirty and full of dead bugs, window blinds could have been dusted) but while the place wasn’t super clean, we felt that it was so quiet & peaceful that we would definitely go back.

The cabin was well stocked and provided all that we needed. Truly appreciated the boats and kayaks. The lake was just the right size to paddle around and enjoy the wildlife. Very peaceful and serene. Owners have done a great job providing a great experience. Would definitely stay here again.

Great for families

We loved all the wildlife we got to see and how undeveloped this lake is with only a handful of cottages. It was just right for a family with small children who could play in the sand and in shallow water. Every night several little turtles would come to the dock (the neighbors feed them). Our kids caught lots of fish! One perk of a lake with so few people. Loved the comfy swing right by the water. Five Bridges nature preserve is nearby and beautiful. We also went to Elk rapids. The cottage itself is older but with some nice updates in the kitchen and nice living room furniture. As others have mentioned it could probably use a deep cleaning but overall we were happy. We had prompt text responses to a couple of questions we had during the visit.

Great place for relaxing

This was a great place to unwind for a long weekend. The hosts were friendly and responsive, we had family of all ages (10 of us total) and we al had a great time. The water front property was gorgeous in the morning and evening to sit out by , and the paddle boat and row boat were a special touch. Overall it was a great time .

Great place to getaway with family

I recently spent some time at this property with my family and we could not have been happier with our stay. My kids loved fishing off the dock, swimming in the shallow warm water, and watching the wildlife. It was so peaceful we kept forgetting that town was only 10 minutes away if we needed anything. The kitchen really was fully stocked with any dishes or utensils you could need and we cooked several full meals with ease. If you’re looking for a place to connect with family and nature, this is the perfect option.

This was our 2nd time at the property and this time we celebrated my last day of work, first day of retirement and our 32nd wedding anniversary doing nothing but sitting on the deck and enjoying the view. So peaceful and quiet. Definitely a repeat.
