Come enjoy our cottage nestled in the Manistee National Forest on the north shore, sunny side, of upper Hamlin Lake. The cottage has well maintained furnishings and is very neat, CLEAN and disinfected between guests. The last 5 miles are a gravel road. You will enjoy a panoramic view of the entire upper lake and awesome sunsets over the dunes right from shore. Docks come out mid September, but you can tie to breakwall. Hiking, wine tasting, wildlife viewing and other fun activities arewaiting just for you! There is also a lakeside firepit for your enjoyment on those cool nights and lots of stars to see. Lake Michigan is minutes away for even more fall adventures. NO PETS. NO CHILDREN UNDER 16 YEARS OF AGE. If you would like or are ready for peaceful, quiet surroundings, this is the place for you. This cottage sleeps 3, who are at least 16 years old, and is fully equipped for your every need. It all awaits you at The Shadows on Hamlin Lake. We live on the property, adjacent to this cottage which is approximately 200 feet from the waters edge.

    The Host Deb was such a pleasure to rent from. Everything was exactly as stated in description and photos. Deb supplies a set of instructions how to get to the cabin and you definitely want to follow those. Easy peasy! Everything was great and definitely will be back! Thanks Deb!!

    We came up early October for a fishing weekend getaway. The house was great, the accommodations were great, and the property was beautiful! Deb and Mark were very hospitable even told us some good fishing spots. We will be coming back!

    Very nice place to stay, and very quiet! Willing to do what they can to help you…. They let us borrow their kayaks, but we’re unable to use them do too wind and weather. I will stay there again!

    The cottage is very well keep and the owners are especially helpful and friendly. It's peaceful and the lakefront is clear with a nice dock. The kitchen is nicely stocked. This cottage has an elevated covered balcony that we enjoyed in the evening and mornings.

    The property was exactly as described. The location is kinda secluded, so running to town is a little bit of a distance. The property owners were wonderful. They communicated extremely well and were helpful with many things. The fishing was decent. To bad we couldn't control the weather.

    We were thoroughly impressed by the property's private location in the woods, offering a beautiful view of the lake. The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive. We highly recommend this property and intend to book again in the future.

    Charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath rustic apartment-style cabin—perfect for a solo getaway or a couple’s retreat. The space is clean, cozy, and simply furnished, with comfortable seating and a relaxing atmosphere. The private balcony offers a lovely view of the lake, making it an ideal spot for morning coffee or a quiet evening.The kitchen comes stocked with essential cookware, dishes, and glassware, but you’ll need to bring all your own ingredients aside from salt and pepper. The bathroom is spacious, though the shower itself is on the smaller side. Note that the rental is not handicap accessible.The location is fantastic—just a 5-minute drive and 30-minute hike to the dunes and beach. The nearby national forest adds to the peaceful, nature-filled experience. The host was extremely communicative and helpful, always available when needed but respectful of privacy. Firewood isn’t provided, so be sure to bring your own if you plan on enjoying the fire pit.Overall, a quiet and scenic escape for one or two guests. Highly recommended—I’ll definitely be booking again.

    This was an absolutely beautiful stay! Wish the weather has been better but the cottage and setting were stunning. No detail forgotten. There was even a cart available to gather firewood from the property. These hosts are A+

    Very nice house. Super clean and had everything we needed. Love the lake view! It was very cool to see 2 foxes the first morning. The sunset was beautiful as well.
