Every year we come to stay and every year we have a great time. This property is a gem on a lovely lake. It's a favorite place on our list of vacation places, always clean, always comfortable, always refreshing.
This cabin is a wonderful place to relax and have fun. The pier and waterfront is perfect for swimming, fishing and just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view.
The cottage is amazing! Every detail is thoughtfully planned. The entire property is clean and in excellent condition. Very calm and relaxing environment.
This home was great. So peaceful staying right on the lake. We enjoyed having wine on the front porch enjoying the view. Kitchen has everything you would need. Nice to be able to sit out on the pier and enjoy the sun and the water.
A long weekend to unwind, this is the perfect place. Joe was very helpful upon arrival. Cottage was very nice, cozy and clean. Beds were comfortable. Will definitely come again in warmer weather to enjoy the lake, fire pit, and beautiful deck.
Clean and neatly appointed. All the comforts of home. The neighbors stood out ... everyone waves, everyone smiles, kind of made us fall in love with Michigan. Lake life, seems like it really is the best life. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Very clean, and very nice. 2 bedrooms and one bath with a nice large shower. Bedrooms were small, but who cares when you are on a lake and just using them to sleep.
Thanks owners!
This location is perfect for a weekend of fishing, reading, and relaxing. So cozy and comfortable. So peaceful and quiet. Everything you need is in the cottage. And so clean! The perfect place to relax and recharge! Loved every minute!
We loved your cottage! The house was comfortable and very CLEAN. The lake was clear and beautiful. All of the neighbors were friendly. I can't say enough good things about your place. Internet and AC were available and we loved the little restaurant down the street. We will definitely be back.
This cabin was perfectly clean and cozy! There was plenty of room for 4 adults and a baby. Beautiful view of the lake and very peaceful. The large dock was nice to hang out on and fish from. It was a little difficult to find at first since the map did not direct us to the correct place. But everything else was perfect and we would definitely stay there again!
This home is such a gem. It's been well-designed and cared for,
with all the comforts of home that we could want while away from home. If we ever have a lake home ourselves it would be a lot like this one, especially the lakeside dock. Highly recommend having that morning coffee out there, enjoying the quiet and nature. Thank you, Joe, for our wonderful time.

Fall views of the lake - well appointed and clean get away cabin.
Clean and well situated. Wonderful deck lakeside with easy access. Great kitchen utensils and clean as well which is very rare these days. The cabin while small is comfortable with plenty of seating and a huge table for games and puzzles. Nicely upgraded inside and much appreciated.
Many thanks and I am sure summer will be busy and full of fun on the lake.
All the best,
Maaschies
It has been a while since we have been able to get away from life events and losses. It was absolutely a beautiful place, a little chilly but expected. The views were fabulous and the peace and quiet allowed us to recharge. The kitchen was well stocked and modern, along with the nice dining area. We plan to come back at a later time to enjoy the full lake property. thank you!

New Favorite
My husband and I have been vacationing in the Three Rivers area for decades, renting a variety of homes on
several different lakes for our stays. This was our first time at this cabin, but we quickly decided it was our new
favorite. The owners have created a gem here; updated kitchen and bathroom, clean and comfortable, with relaxing colors and furniture in the interior. We had a great family time with the kayaks and swimming outside and the board games and TV for entertainment inside. Thanks for a wonderful week.
it was beautiful and relaxing. neighbors were fun and entertaining.. The living room tv didnt work and talking to the neighbor, they said their family had stayed recently, and it was not working then. we were told we wasnt suppose to use the basement, because it was none of our business.. besides all of that, it was a nice place. I lost my husband in march so was trying to recharge.
