Fall get away
We really enjoyed the cottage and its amenities. Everything was clean and working properly. The location was very convenient for what we wanted to do in the area. Our hosts were helpful and generous. We hope to stay again in warmer weather so we could get out into the lake more.

Nice Cottage and great location
The cottage was very clean and perfect for the week. The lake was beautiful, just wish we had more time to enjoy the water. The owners were very nice and helpful. We had a very bad storm and lost power. The owners were right there to assist with a generator and got the lights and well running. Thanks for being so nice! I would highly recommend this cottage and location.

Wonderful location. Beautiful sandy beach in your back yard! Husband had a lot of fun fishing. Close enough to Grand rapids for museums and zoo, for the rainy days. Definitely will return.

Awesome Lake Stay!
We had an absolutely amazing stay. Our grand kids (8 and 18) joined us for the week and it was perfect for any age. Beautiful sandy beach and great fishing right off the dock. Cottage was spotless and had everything we could possibly need and more. Jim and Jackie were awesome to visit with and amazing hosts. Upon arrival fresh vegetables right out of their garden were provided along with a bottle of wine. Top notch and we’re making plans for next year already.

Great fishing
The veggie crate was awesome, wine included! The row boat with trolling motor was a plus. We used it so much the owner had to keep recharging the battery for us. Our youngest loves to fish and she hauled in some big ones! Luckily there is air conditioning, it got pretty hot and humid a couple of nights. Overall a great time, thanks!!!

Still Great!
This is the 3rd time that we've stayed at the "yellow cottage." Its location to the beach and proximity to Rockford and Grand Rapids are definitely convenient. It is perfect for a small family.

Great spot!
We had a great few days at this cute little cottage! It is clean and well stocked. The kids loved swimming in the lake - so nice to have a sandy beach. We explored Grand Rapids a bit which wasn’t too far away. Owners are super nice and readily available. We hope to be back!
