Very good value for money compared with other properties on the lake.

We have been traveling as a family to this area for 40 years, but have never stayed on this lake before. The location was amazing, 10 minutes or less from all the places we wanted to go. The cabin was perfect for our group of 6, and had everything we needed. We utilized the kayaks to paddle to the inlet from Lake Michigan (about a 30 minute paddle) and my kids LOVED swimming and playing in the water. Jeff was very responsive to questions, and made sure that we had everything we needed. We have been searching for a regular place to stay, and I hope that we are able to return on an annual basis.

Very nice house; great neighbors; having a full size washer/dryer was a great plus. Communication with the property manger was A+. Answered our questions almost immediately.

The cottage is cute and comfortable for approx 6 people, ideally 1 family and only 2 adults. We had 8 people, 4 adults and 4 kids and it was too crowded and only 1 couch for family room seating. No really comfortable seating and could use a loveseat instead of the uncomfortable chairs in the family room. We’ve rented often from HomeAway and have usually been pretty happy with the rentals, but this one missed the mark on some of the basics. The kitchen had very little cupboard space to put any groceries and very little counter space. It had 1 soup spoon, all extremely dull knives, no cookie sheets, but it did have an electric griddle. The cottage had no clocks in it, which wasn’t a big deal for me, but my mom, who doesn’t have a cell phone was lost with no clocks and had no idea what time it was when she got up in the morning. There are no closets in any of the bedrooms, so no where to hide luggage and make more room. Dresser in downstairs bedroom too small to accommodate 2 people’s clothing. Keep in mind that the 2 bedrooms upstairs get extremely hot and even with multiple fans going was difficult to get a good nights sleep. Not the owners fault, but not ideal having an abandoned cottage next door about 15 feet away with waist high grass. Owners cottage is on the other side of cottage about 15 feet away. We were also told there would be a small beach area and there was none. The owners did attempt to shovel some sand on the grass by the dock area during our stay, but we felt that was something that def should have been taken care of before our stay, not during. The swimming area was not sandy, but could be with some cleaning up. Removing the tree in front of the beach would be good too, since it doesn’t seem to serve any useful purpose, blocks the view and part of the shoreline. The owners did seem like nice people and could prob improve this rental failrly easily if desired. There were no chaise lounge chairs for outside relaxing, just regular chairs.
The sunsets were very pretty and the lake is quiet, although I believe we heard the constant hum of a generator, which may be supplying the electricity to a group of cottages here. All in all, just not the standard rental we are used to, but the reasonable price per night here is reflected in what you get. You can tell that some remodling has been done and freshly painted, which was nice. I wished I had spent a little more money and got a nicer, bigger place for our family.
