It was perfectEverything we needed was there. All kitchen gadgets and spices were available. Bathrooms were fully appointed. And nice extra towels for the hot tub. Great time.

comfortable stay for a fishing trip

Our third year at this property! Everything is always clean, welcoming & amazingly well-stocked. The location lends itself to many different day trips with lots to see & do. We look forward to staying again!

We loved everything about this cottage! It was just as it was advertised on vrbo. Clean, quiet, comfortable and so relaxing for us!

THE BEST VACATION EVER ! WE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE THERE - THANKS!

Long weekend getaway. House was a described and communicating was excellent.

EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL! Cleaned and organized to detail- all needs were covered- beautiful cabin and beautiful nature around - Only the neighborhood does not align with them - the surrounding properties are in a really bad shape - there is a disconnection between them and the neighborhood. We loved our vacation and recommend the property to anyone looking for relaxation, fun and enjoyment - WONDERFUL VACATION!

Very nice,clean home.

Another wonderful stay at one of Nina’s Black Bear Cottage rentals! You can always count on her properties to be clean, cozy, and well-maintained. This property in particular was darling! Will definitely be booking again in the future!

Rented this as home base for deer hunting. The accommodations were excellent! Would definitely come back next season!!

We could not have been happier with our stay at this cabin. Property was very clean, warm and welcoming. Beds were comfortable, and kitchen well stocked. We loved getting up and drinking our coffee on the deck looking at the lake watching the swans. The fall colors were incredible. Property manager was great at checking in and readily available whether by email or texting. You are close to many wonderful destinations, Ludington 40 minutes and Traverse City 90 minutes.

Very clean and with small touches to help us feel right at home. Dog treats and lake and fishing signs In The cabin. Nicely located close to North Country Trail trailheads. Right on Whalen lake. We enjoyed several beautiful sunrises.

I was able to bring my two young adult kids for a quick weekend trip. The house was easy to find. Beautiful and peaceful. The game room was a hit with the kids. The hot tub was also a hit! We were able to find a little grocery store and enjoyed a lovely kitchen with everything we needed to prepare meals. I stepped outside to catch the sunrise and saw a beautiful eagle. We saw little fish, snails and a turtle in the lake. Everyone slept well in the beds. We had the perfect weight blankets and enough pillows. Bonus each room had a fan. Didn’t even think about my daughter’s love of her fan so what a relief! Bathrooms had basic necessities as well. The house had very thoughtful setup outside as well. Fire pit. Seating. We loved see the lake from the little paddle boat pontoon and kayaks. I would recommend Jones ice cream - just a short drive. And lastly the cabin had a wonderful living room for family movie night. We look forward to returning again.

Our second year staying here! It's a peaceful getaway with everything you need for a relaxing vacation on the lake. Convenient location for many different day trips as well. We will be coming back. :)

This was our groups 3rd year in a row renting a VRBO in the Baldwin area for Labor Day Weekend and this one was by far our favorite! Beautiful home with full kitchen, large refrigerator, big TV to watch the Michigan game, nice deck with patio furniture for outdoor dining and a good size hot tub, on a small quiet lake with kayaks and padel boat, fire pit with plenty of chairs to use on our stay. Log beds with comfortable mattresses, plenty of towels, cute cabin decor. Close to downtown Baldwin for necessities but secluded enough to escape for the weekend! We would all recommend this location and this host for future stays!
