    We had a wonderful trip - very clean, great location, helpful communication, and probably the best stocked VRBO we have encountered to date. This large family cottage was exactly what we were hoping for over the 4th of July holiday. Highly recommend a pontoon rental if you plan to do any swimming or fishing. Close to several acclaimed golf courses and other amenities.

    Wonderful property with great views. Was not good for swimming or fishing. The property did meet our group needs for this year. Well stocked and clean when we arrived. We would stay here again.

    I’ve been coming to Mecosta for almost 40 years and renting homes for about 10. This home and host are absolute gems. My entire family had space and wants to rent here again. The host is kind and organized. We loved our stay!

    Our stay in this traditional cottage was delightful. We rented it to participate in a family reunion and had family on the lake. Views of the lake were very nice. Not good swimming at the cottage. Best feature was 3 king beds which is rare. Lots of room for our grankids with the bunk room upstairs.

    Great quiet location on Canadian Lakes with quick access to grocery store, dining and sports/golf. Listing & pictures does not do the amenities and bed/bathrooms justice!
