Listing does not do this place justice
We were very impressed with this cottage, from the second we entered. Very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. And then there were the views of the lake. Beautiful sunrises, sunsets and overall an awe...experience. Would love to return. Thank you for a great vacation.

Beautiful house in a great location
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property with plenty of space. Greg provided all the information well ahead of time and also was in touch with us through our stay. The pictures do not do justice to this property with beautiful views from the deck and balcony. Very comfortable beds and clean appointments. Highly recommend it.

Winter Wonder Land
It was a great home for us to have as our base camp to go visit family and friends over the Christmas break. Owner was quick to respond and helpful during the whole stay. We got snowed in for 3 days and played lots of cards together.

"Snoopy Land" Adventures
We had the most amazing family vacation. The house was absolutely perfect to feel like everyone wasn't right on top of each other with some of the most picturesque views. The lake itself is extremely sandy and shallow for young children. There was everything we needed to have wonderful family meals every night. Add in the fact that Michigan Adventure is only about 15 minutes away and you have a perfect vacation for all of us! There are quite a few stairs to get down to the lake itself so if traveling with individuals who this would be an issue for would advise against but for us it was more than fine!

Nice Family Getaway
We totally enjoyed our stay for 2 nights in early September. We enjoyed rowing and swimming in the lake. Very quiet and private home. Host was very responsive. The nearest grocery was about 30 minutes away. Very clean with comfortable beds. Definitely recommend.

Property worked well for us!
The property was perfect for our group of 6 adults! Lots of room in the living room and downstairs common area. The kitchen was plenty big enough for all 6 of us to be cooking at once. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, bowls and cooking utensils. The owner was very responsive to answer some questions I had before we arrived. We would definitely stay at this property again!

Great Place
The house was much bigger than expected from the pictures online. Plenty of room for our party of 7 adults. The covered wrap around porch was perfect for those rainy evenings. The host Greg was amazing. He is very accessible and answers your questions promptly. Would definitely recommend this place for a great getaway on the lake.

Wonderful, Tranquil and Comfortable
Great house, comfortably furnished from the couches to the beds. Wonderful view. The stairs to the lake made a trip to the gym unnecessary BUT worth it as my gym doesn't have the over all peaceful and beautiful view as this place does.

Great family getaway at the lake
The house is nice and big. It was very clean without any musty smells that you sometimes get at lake houses. The owner was kind and quick with communication. We had two dogs and a big family, and it was more than enough space. There are beautiful views of the lake from the decks, which make for a very peaceful setting.

Quiet and lovely location
We couldn't stop gazing out the front window at the beautiful view. But when we finally managed to pull away from that view, we saw a spacious, clean, nicely decorated space. Everything we needed was at hand. The owner/manager made all instructions clear and easy to follow.

Great family time
We loved it here. Rustic area but the home had everything we were looking for. Right on a small lake and we all enjoyed the fishing from the dock. Lake is several steps down from the house and the trip back up took some time. The house is roomy and has all the conveniences of home. Most stores etc were a short drive. Can't wait to schedule another trip to this house.

Very Sad
We booked this for a weekend wedding. The day of our check in my youngest brother died unexpectedly. I reached out to the owner for a full or partial refund and he said there was nothing he could do. I then reached out to VRBO for assistance and after some conversations they indicated that the owner was not willing to refund any of the money. Very upsetting that he could not find it in his heart to do the right thing

Beautifull home on the lake
We really enjoyed the house. It was clean and had all the features we expected. The house was more impressive in person than we appreciated from the listing. The dock and lake were nice. The view from the deck was great - we even saw a bald eagle in the back yard. The location is quiet and remote with no traffic. The nearest towns are a 10+ minute drive. We spent some time on most days during our trip driving to/from the West Michigan shoreline towns like Grand Haven, Muskegon, Pentwater, Ludington which are all 30-60 minute drives from the house.

Hidden Gem near Beach
We were so lucky to come across this beautiful home. We were in town to attend a wedding in Muskegon and this was a perfect place for our family. While there we celebrated my 61 birthday and this home made for a wonderful memory making occasion. Our group consisted of myself, my husband, my son, daughter in law, their 1 year old daughter, my daughter and her fiancee. This home is beautiful and there is plenty of room for people to really spread out. The views from the master bedroom of the lake are stunning. We also spent a day at Grand Haven State Park which was only a short drive away. We highly recommend renting this wonderful home. If we're ever in the area again this is the hidden gem we would want to rent. Everybody loved it and we didn't want to go home! Greg responds quickly and makes sure that you are happy with your stay.
