The lake, cottage, location were all fabulous. We love our northern Michigan get aways and this one is now towards the top of our list. Crystal clear lake for swimming, fishing and water sports. Close to a tubing trip down the Manistee, a visit to Shortts Brewery, the Hideway bar (great food and service), and so much more. Definitely recommend.
Loved the location (we've stayed on the same lake many times over decades, so were familiar with it) and the property is cute, in a retro sort of way. Cottage was not clean upon arrival. Host was kind and apologized for lack of cleanliness, but did not offer any kind of reimbursement. Worked very well for our five people, but upstairs loft has a very low ceiling, so would have worked better for small children.
We stayed in October so not a lot of noise on the lake. Very pretty fall colors & sunsets. We would like to go again in the summer to enjoy the lake more.
Cozy cabin on big twin Lakes. This cabin is perfect for a midsize group who’s planning to be outside all weekend. Property could be updated, and some small things could be added to make things more comfortable, such as a dehumidifier and better toiletries and towels. The lake is beautiful and quiet, the rowboat supplied was out of commission, but overall we had a wonderful time.
What an awesome cottage! My family of 4 stayed there. Not big but plenty of room for us. We brought our 18ft searay, which fit perfectly at the dock....make sure you bring bumpers and good ropes as the lake gets rough with boat traffic during the day. No wake before 11am and after 730pm which is njce for night crusies or fishing. Everything you need is at the cottage, the only thing that could be upgraded is the grill....it is a small tabke top camping grill, that uses the little green camping propanes. I grill a lot and it worked perfectly but is very small and would have been great to have a larger one so i didnt have to cook in shifts. That would be the only negative.
The cottage was clean and ready for our stay. It was as described in the listing. WE enjoyed being there. Thanks for good time.
We had a great week! The house had everything we needed and was so peaceful. That and a great lake view. So wonderful!
A ladder/steps to enter the water safely Also a kayak would really be the icing on the cake!
Very quiet and relaxing vacation for our Family of 4. Cabin was clean & outfitted with all the necessities. Beautiful lake, fantastic view off the porch, through the trees, especially at sunset. 1 1/2 bath was convenient. WiFi and satellite worked well. The top deck was great for morning coffee, listening to the loons, books in the afternoon. Dock was the best for stars and sunsets. Could use a new stairway into the water. Clean, clear, sand bottom lake was spectacular to be understated. We brought kayaks but the provided rowboat was a plus. Very little boat, jetski traffic on the lake. So a row to the middle for a beer and some fishing was calming. Boat could use a new oar guide. Overall vacation was a winner. Would recommend this location.
My husband and I had a relaxing week to celebrate our anniversary. The cabin was clean and cozy, and the lake was gorgeous. Reading a book on the porch while we listen to loons and seagulls and the wind in the trees was the perfect escape from the regular busy grind. Communication with the property manager was quick and easy, too. Would absolutely stay again.
