Relaxing Getaway, Close to Everything
My husband and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary here. From start to finish, our host was wonderful. The environment was cozy and inviting. The views were beautiful and watching the evening come while sitting in the jacuzzi was just what we needed. We will be coming back! The stay was perfect!

Lakeside yet so close to Ann Arbor
Really enjoyed staying at the cottage as an alternative to a hotel in Ann Arbor. Our daughter who is a graduate student at U of M came and stayed with us too. Cottage had plenty of space. We enjoyed the kayaks, swimming and hot tub. Hope to return in the future.

Lovely lake front cottage
We looveeee this place. The lake is perfect, with it's firm, sandy bottom and it gets deep pretty quickly for swimming. The owner is very responsive to questions (we had no problems) and has everything set up just right. The hot tub is so nice, and the trees provide a natural umbrella if you want to stay in it during a light summer sprinkle. I'm sure we'll be back again! (This was our second time)

Family trip
Beautiful spot, definitely would book again. The host was very responsive to an issue with the water softener. Location was great, close to Ann Arbor so we did some museums on the weird air days and rain day…
