Can't think of a better spit for a Michigan lake side getaway

Fish camp has a wonderful spot on a smaller ( private feel) all sports lake. Rare to be able to combine those two settings. Also located next to the lakes dam, the gentle water fall sound adds to the relaxing experance of sitting by the lake and enjoying the lakeside view. The cottage is well stocked for all your daily needs and kept up well. Though we did not get to use it being that we were outdoors focused, the lower level has a wonderful game space with bar, pool table, foosball and more.

Wonderful place and location…if you are fishing, definitely check the seasonal limitations/ rules on the river with regards to closings on parts of the river for fishing.

Long Weekend at Fish Camp

Fish Camp is a charming little cottage in a peaceful setting on the lake. The property owner was very responsive while booking our stay and flexible with allowing us to check-in early--much appreciate! We suspected we may have been the first to stay this season as the cottage smelled VERY musty when we first entered, and there wasn't shampoo, conditioner or body soap available in the second floor bathroom. We opened windows to air it out, and the musty smell dissipated within a few hours but it was disappointing to be hit with that when we walked in. The box of coffee K Cups in the pantry was completely empty. We made a quick trip to the store to pick up the missing items we needed for our stay. The property was clean and conveniently located to all the locations we needed to visit in West Branch for a family wedding, so, overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Awesome Cabin/Location

We were in West Branch for a baseball tournament and the house was perfect for our family and was only a mile or so from the ball fields. We'll be looking to reserve this one again next year.

Great Family Trip

Our group of 7 stayed for a week and we had so much fun. Even the non fishermen found plenty to do! The game room was a great way for the adults and teenagers to spend the evenings together. The lake is very peaceful and the house is very clean and comfortable.
