It's quite a charming and unique cottage. We enjoyed all of the fishing bling. We were a bit early for fishing, but managed to lose a few lures below the dam. A nice weekend getaway to a comfy cottage. We'll book again. Thanks.

Echoes of past friends-and-family gatherings resonate in this updated yet still rustic cottage on the edge of a lovely lake and flowing river. It's easy to understand why generations of the owner's family have enjoyed this fish camp site. Do not expect five-star hotel accommodations here--rather a place that shows that many have been here before. There is no dishwasher, so expect to handwash everything you use before and after. The cooler weather did not allow us to get out on the lake, but we loved the view every day--instead we enjoyed the warmth of the outdoor fireplace and the comfy indoor furniture and game room for places to relax and have some fun. Allen was very responsive to my messages and seems to take care of issues that may occur. I hope to stay here again during future visits to my home town.
I suggested renaming it Mirror Lake on this perfect day.

Can't think of a better spit for a Michigan lake side getaway

Fish camp has a wonderful spot on a smaller ( private feel) all sports lake. Rare to be able to combine those two settings. Also located next to the lakes dam, the gentle water fall sound adds to the relaxing experance of sitting by the lake and enjoying the lakeside view. The cottage is well stocked for all your daily needs and kept up well. Though we did not get to use it being that we were outdoors focused, the lower level has a wonderful game space with bar, pool table, foosball and more.

Long Weekend at Fish Camp

Fish Camp is a charming little cottage in a peaceful setting on the lake. The property owner was very responsive while booking our stay and flexible with allowing us to check-in early--much appreciate! We suspected we may have been the first to stay this season as the cottage smelled VERY musty when we first entered, and there wasn't shampoo, conditioner or body soap available in the second floor bathroom. We opened windows to air it out, and the musty smell dissipated within a few hours but it was disappointing to be hit with that when we walked in. The box of coffee K Cups in the pantry was completely empty. We made a quick trip to the store to pick up the missing items we needed for our stay. The property was clean and conveniently located to all the locations we needed to visit in West Branch for a family wedding, so, overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Great Stay!

We were blessed to have incredible weather for September, so we were able to enjoy this property about as much as you can in a short five days. The property and host are as advertised and more. Fishing, kayaking, hanging out in nature... what more could we have asked for? Thank you, Allen!

We had a quiet & relaxing time overall. One of us has mobility issues so the stairs & step into the shower, and step down onto the deck were a minor issue (had to buy a step stool).

Best VBRO we have had

Our family vacation at "Fish Camp" was wonderful, blending comfort and adventure seamlessly. Nestled by a serene lake and dam, we caught many small fish, and explored the calm lake by kayak. So convenient having shopping & restaurants nearby. The cottage is itself was a cozy & clean, providinuneveryone.
