Peaceful. Quiet. Spectacular lake view. It’s worth the steps (51, we counted ) to go for a swim or a float. The second week of September and the water temp is just fine. The bed downstairs is big and very comfortable. There is an A/C unit in every room, which is a nice feature. Also liked the newer fridge and updated shower.

Perfectly cozy little cottage in a great location. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well supplied for all our cooking needs, and we all enjoyed swimming and floating in the lake! It was really nice to have two separate living areas as well- the green leather chair upstairs was my favorite spot to sneak away and read in the evening!

Z Cabin Stay

Our family had a wonderful time at the Z Cabin on beautiful Lake St. Clair! The home was stocked with everything that we needed. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of linen and towels. We enjoyed using the kayaks to explore the lake and were happy to find all sizes of lifejackets for adults and kids. We would be happy to return and use the cabin again for our next stay.

Beautiful, warm, comfortable lake house.

We absolutely loved the lake house.The only feature that prospective guests might note is that there is only one bathroom. This didn't affect our stay at all, but it might be a drawback for some.

Cute cottage

This place is super cute. My only issue and reason for not giving 5 stars was the extremely strong smell of mold/wet smell particularly in the bedroom. Other than that it was nice for a lake visit.

Good location, driveway is a little tight for a large suv but no big deal. The house was clean and had plenty of cookware and utensils. Really enjoyed the outdoor deck, dock and lake. That is where we spent most of our time and I already want to go back. There are two kayaks, a peddle boat and a dock slide that the kids wouldn’t get off of. Highly recommend!

Clean, comfy, and perfect for our family trip

We had a lovely stay at Z Cabin. It was comfortable and had all we needed for our stay to visit with family in the area. I really appreciated that it was so well stocked with items we might need and the kids (and adults) had a blast in the water and when using the provided water craft. With the easy water access and the AC - we had a lovely time during the hot August days/nights.

Wonderful lakeside property

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to have a small family gathering. The water activities were many and added a lot of enjoyment to our stay. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything you could want or need. The host was friendly, informative , accommodating and prompt in communicating. Don’t hesitate to book this lakeside house.

Quiet and lovely lake experience

This was the perfect place for our stay. The host was very kind and helpful. The home had everything we needed and was very comfortable. With two living areas and plenty of bedroom spaces, we had the option of being together to play board games, watch movies, or have some quiet alone time to read. The lake was easily accessible, and we enjoyed the use of the varied watercraft available to us. I really appreciated the thoughtful choice of cooking implements.(I loved the pans!) It was easy and fun to cook meals without having to make do with mediocre kitchen tools- something I have experienced in other rentals. My kids, pre-teen and teenagers made very positive comments about our stay here as well. Definite win!

Amazing Lake house

What an amazing house. Well stocked with everything you need to make your meals. The lake is secluded from the city but you could get to the grocery stores in 10 minutes. All interactions with Stefanie were quick and helpful. The lake is beautiful and quiet. I had some problems with my vehicle and the neighbours stepped up and helped me. I would stay here again and recommend it to everyone.
