Intermediate Lake in Central Lake, Mi, Critts Cove Cottage Great News open!

We had such a fantastic time at Critt's Cove! Cheryl is an amazing host and very accommodating. We loved the property and our stay. We highly recommend!!

First of all, like you have read over and over again, Cheryl is amazing! She was accommodating in every way you can think of. Our family of 5 were very comfortable in the space, and would have had room for more. We ventured out most days to explore everything around us. Our favorites were Sleeping Bear Dunes, Dark Sky Park, Mackinac Island, and visiting Charlevoix for the Apple Fest. The cinema in Bellaire was also a nice addition to our trip, along with apple and raspberry picking. The kiddos even went for a little swim in the 50 degree water and loved playing on the beach. Thanks for the hospitality! We hope to be back sooner than later.

We had an excellent experience. Beautiful home, very hospitable owner who went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable stay, property has lots to offer. Five stars all around, I highly recommend staying with Cheryl. Thank you for making our vacation so wonderful!

Very clean and well-stocked cottage. Lake is super clear and has beautiful sunsets. Super relaxing time. Easy trip to Charlevoix and Mackinaw Island. Owner, Cheryl, is very helpful and kind and treated us to a tour of Intermediate Lake on her pontoon boat. Thanks for a fabulous place to rejuvenate and get to know our future daughter-in-law better!

To begin, Cheryl is an amazing property owner and overall great person. Upon our arrival, it was evident she takes pride in her property and the focus is providing everything that any family would need on vacation. The rental property was meticulously maintained inside and out. We really enjoyed the 75 yard long dock that was great to fish from. The kids enjoyed the beach and the swim platform a few yards from the end of the dock. We had a campfire every night listening to the fire crackle amidst the backdrop of a perfectly still lake. Check out Short's Brewery in Bellaire...just a 10 min drive away. Amazing food and drink. Thank you Cheryl! We hope to be back next summer!

We were greeted at arrival by the owner, Ms Cheryl. She showed us the rental and had made a welcome sign for us (which was so i thoughtful ). On the first night we had a bon fire and as instructed, we turned the hose on and kept it near just in case. Well turns out the hose was frozen and the water exploded into the basement which is the rental part of the house! It totally flooded the unit so we spent the better part of our late night/early morning hours helping to shop vac and dry it up. She was so apologetic about the inconvenience. But what started as a disaster turned into great conversations and late nite pancakes with Ms. Cheryl. The night ended around 3:30am. We were booked to stay thru Sunday but decided to leave on Sat evening instead so she could make the necessary repairs to her home without anyone being in her way. The home was clean and welcoming. Everything well stocked. The property was exactly what was promised and the home owner was an incredible host. My family and I will most definitely be back to see ms. Cheryl. It was one of our best quick family getaways for sure.

My husband is a contractor and needed to rent a place for a month to work on a job. We stumbled upon this cabin and man are we glad we did! The lake is stunning, the cabin is pristine, and Mrs.Cheryl is just the sweetest and most helpful host ever! The cottage is spectacularly clean and there is a ton of space for everyone! Lots of blankets and sheets and towels for your stay. The kitchen was also fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for a weekend getaway or a month long retreat! We would 110% stay at Mrs.Cheryl’s cabin again!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience for everyone in our group!

Cheryl made our trip even better than planned! Everything is clean and well stocked- feels like a luxury hotel. She was overly accommodating and made the kids’ experience memorable with her extra efforts. We appreciate her greatly and had one of our best trips yet!

My family stayed at Cheryl’s place over New Years weekend, and it was the perfect way to start 2021! The apartment is spotless and incredibly well-stocked and Cheryl is such an accommodating and welcoming host. We had a blast and can’t wait to come back!

We had a great long weekend this winter staying at Critt's Cove. It was absolutely amazing. Plenty for everyone to do. Lots of outdoor fun just minutes away! Cheryl was wonderful too! She had a sled and we were able to have a bonfire in the snow. A little too early in season for the lake to be frozen, but it was beautiful just to look at. Really needed the change of scenery. Plenty of space for my 3 teen/tween boys to stretch out. Very safe and clean. Cannot wait to rent again.
