The lake cottage was fantastic! Super clean and everything that we needed. We just forgot our fishing poles as the bass were jumping in the lake. It is a perfect place to get away and my wife and I loved it.

The cabin was fantastic. Loved the porch and how quiet it was. Was not able to enjoy the dock, the grade coupled with mobility challenges kept my tackle in the truck. Parking was also a bit difficult with full size pickup. Very good location for our vacation plans.

Without a 4WD vehicle (with low range), getting up the gravel drive would have been a challenge. But we handled it just fine, a couple times...The cabin is immaculate, and well arranged. Nicely stocked with some snacks - thanks for the treat!It would be good if guests were forewarned that there is no breakfast restaurant in town, other than McDonald's...folks ought to bring in groceries when they first arrive.The fish were spawning in the stream. Fun to see such activity.

This was an amazing place!! I've stayed at a lot of places, but none were as clean or provided the extra amenities such as coffee (3 types of coffee machines) creamers, etc. They also provided fire wood for the fire pit. The bed was very comfortable, as well as the recliners and the couch. The owners were easy to reach and very friendly. The driveway was fine, I did appreciate them telling us that it was a little steep, but we didn't have any problems at all. The outside string lights were a plus as well! It was perfect! Book it!

Beautiful place to stay and comfortable. My ONLY issue was the drive way is very steep and gravel. Had to park top of the hill and walk down. Wasn't made aware of this until a few days before check in. This needs to be a part of property description. Going uphill each day to the car is tough. Otherwise, very nice and not far from the Ark.

The cabin was just great. It was quiet and peaceful. The actual cabin had everything you need. The lake is just down the way and there is a dock where you can go out on the lake if you want. I hope to be able to go back next year. Beautiful place!

We had a lovely 4 night stay at the cottage by the lake. Everything was just as described and shown in the listing for the property, which we love. The cottage was extremely clean and well maintained and had everything you'd need to make your stay more enjoyable. We wished we had booked a week stay, because 4 days was too short since we were going to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter and that took almost all of our days and would have liked to just stay at the cottage all day long for a few days. Don't hesitate to book this place, you won't regret it.P.s. the drive way is a little steep but we had no issues with our front wheel drive car. Just make sure you have it in low gear going up and down and you'll be fine.

This place was perfect for a long weekend getaway from Michigan to enjoy some warmer weather and time on the water. While the fishing didn’t quite cooperate during our stay, everything else about this property more than made up for it. The home was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and truly had everything you could possibly need, which made settling in effortless.The porch quickly became our favorite spot, whether it was starting the morning with coffee or winding down in the evening. It offered a great space to relax and take in the views and weather, which really added to the overall experience.The hosts were outstanding. Communication was prompt, clear, and professional from the start, and everything was so well organized that we never had to reach out during our stay. That said, it was obvious they take pride in their property and guest experience, and I had full confidence they would have been immediately available if needed.Overall, this was an A experience. You can tell the owners genuinely care about their guests and have put a lot of effort into making this a comfortable and memorable place to stay. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, hassle-free getaway.
