Beautiful Cottage on Private Lake close to Manistee

What an amazing place to spend a week, so peaceful, the lake is wonderful! Definitely recommend

Beautiful location. Quiet, private and peaceful.Lots to do.Meticulously clean home.Host was extremely communicative and hospitable.Highly recommended!!Hope to return in future.

The property was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The host was friendly and helpful. There was plenty of space for our family. We felt welcome and had a wonderful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Vicki's cottage! What a private and peaceful lake to kayak, float and fish. The clubhouse was great for board games and playing darts, and we had several good nights for campfires. This location has good wifi and cell phone service. Dublin market really is a convenient spot for all of your needs. Loved the plentiful dishes, mugs, glassware, utensils and cookware! We took a day trip to our favorite Ludington State Park and a rafting float on the Big Manistee River. Some tips/clarification for future visitors, the lake is lovely, but mucky at the shoreline. Paddle boards and kayaks provided were relaxing. Do enter from the dock. The beach area is pea gravel. The stairs down to the lake are a little steeper than expected but doable if you take it slowly. All the comforts of home at a wonderful Up North location! Thanks Vicki!

We loved our time at Cool Lake! The scenery and the remoteness was beautiful for our family vacation. Easy driving to Manistee or for a day trip to Traverse City. The kids loved having a nice outdoor area to play and it was nice to have the amenities offered by the host. Communication was super easy and quick.

Enjoyed a great week at this wonderful cottage on the lake. Perfect for quiet relaxing vacation with the family. Loved paddling boarding and kayaking on the lake.

The house came with lots of water toys, and plenty of space for 6 adults. Vicky was very helpful

What fun we had spending the week at Cool Lake! The view from the deck was beautiful and the lake so peaceful-perfect for kayaking. Loved listening to the loons and enjoying the quiet, relaxing time on the deck and seating area. The cottage was very well equipped-even took advantage of the crockpot a few times, and Dublin market was just a short distance away if anything was needed. Vicki was quick to respond to any inquiries we had and offered many helpful tips to enhance our stay in the area. Ludington is about 40 miles away and has a fabulous maritime museum and state park. Nathan , the tour guide, is so knowledgeable and even let us steer the ship. You might even get a chance to see the S.S. Badger dock. Vicki certainly provides a carefree and truly relaxing vacation experience! We thank her for sharing her lovely cottage to others!

Nice, well appointed cottage. Lovely lake, great location.

We truly enjoyed our week on Cool Lake. The communication with Vicki, the owner, was timely and very helpful. She is friendly and gave us great tips for the surrounding area. The property is secluded, wooded, quiet, and beautiful. We kayaked on Cool Lake, watched loons swim past, and had a great view of some beautiful sunsets. We fished and swam off of the dock, and enjoyed nightly fires at the large fire pit. The lake has a No Wake posting so there are no loud jet skis or boats speeding past. My teens enjoyed hanging out and shooting darts in the separate clubhouse. Overall a wonderful week with many lasting memories made!
