Stayed here for a family snowmobile trip. 1 group from Muskegon Mi the other Clinton Twp Mi both about a 5 hour drive. I personally didnt like crossing the lake to get to the snowmobile trail but the other 4 people didnt have a problem with it. Great place to stay. Nice and cozy. Beautiful view. Kitchen was well stocked with pots/ pans/ plates/ silverware etc. Communication with the owners was great. We have already talked about planning a summer/fall trip to enjoy a different season at this great little cottage. The Rathsburg Family

Location was good since there was a lot of snow. If there wasn't we would have had to trailer the sleds to the trails.Cute place right on the water

This adorable, waterfront cabin/cottage is perfect! It's newly redone and has everything you could ask for in a short term rental. The kitchen has all the things needed to cook, eat, grill. A big complaint I've had over the years is how the silverware at some rentals seems to dwindle down to several small forks and a couple spoons, but not at this place! Everything was tip top shape and so very welcoming. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves the area.
