this was perfect for a relaxing getaway with privacy and close location to lakeside. Clean and tidy, easy to access and close to town enough for stuff to do. We would come back!

The house was perfect for our needs, which was a quick weekend away before school starts. The proximity to the lake was awesome and downtown Montague and Whitehall were just a short drive. We also were able to take a day trip to Lewis adventure farm and Michigan's adventure. My four year old son loved the swing in the backyard and the fact that we were visited by a family of deer on several occasions. If you're looking for a simple cottage vibe surrounded by nature with the convenience of summer attractions near by, I would recommend this home.

The beach/Michigan decor is super cute and helps to spruce up this aging and musty home. There was plenty of supplies including, oil, spices, foil, nightlights and games. Although, I'd encourage others to bring their own beach towels as there was only 3 for a 6 person rental. This home was not as clean as I would have liked down to the dog fur on the sheets...were the sheets not washed or did the cleaner have their dog with them? The blankets were clean but as soon as we pulled back the covers it was dog fur central. We also had to clean what I'm thinking was coffee off a few surfaces. The furniture is worn and fairly stained. We were unable to use two of the dinning room chairs as they have broken legs. As soon as we moved the chairs, the legs dangled. I did contact the owner about the furry sheets and broken furniture but she didn't really seem to care. I was pretty disappointed to be blown off like that. This home is closish to the beach but be aware it is on a busy and fast road. I also agree with another reviewer-you will be living out of your suitcase. Yes, there are closets but they are so jam packed and have a musty smell that you can't or wouldn't want to put your stuff in them. The house was fine for coming and going. I'd book elsewhere in the future.
