Vacation at Big Lake

We have stayed multiple times and love to stay here. Very relaxing and perfect location on the lake. Will be back again!

Things were veey nice. Could use some new pillows tho.

Cody was a wonderful host, and the property matched the description. The amenities were accurate, and we also rented the pontoon boat, which was a stellar way to enjoy the lake even more as a group. The communication was easy and efficient. I've booked rentals for the last 6 years, exploring different lakes in Michigan. Here are some of the things I look for, understanding there is only so much that the host can control:-No swimmer's itch! We were all in the water by the cottage and elsewhere, and both my kids are affected by it.-The site was less intimidating to navigate than it looked, both for the grade and distance to the water. That being said, the garage would not fit our vehicle as the doorway is too low, but it was perfect for the boat trailer or a car, and we had enough space in front. The side entrance of the garage has a very low clearance that definitely got two of us in the noggin, but it is not necessary to use as there is a front and back doorway.-My sister and I are really into birds and it was a joy to watch the loons, herons, kingfisher, and even the sandhill cranes in the field.-The oven, sink, shower, and fridge were all full-sized and worked exactly as they should.-The beds and the furniture were all comfortable and sufficient. We brought our own beach towels as recommended. We brought an ez-up canopy, which made enjoying the deck more comfortable, but they had patio umbrellas we could have used.-The fishing was great!

Overall we had a great time at the property and even went to the local farmers market. Our biggest negative was cleanliness for both the house and pontoon boat.
