Farmhouse Cottage

Great property, host was awesome and made everything very easy! Quiet little lake house that was perfect for a weekend getaway!

Magical place!

2nd year here and it’s phenomenal, it’s obvious that this isn’t just slapped together. The owners clearly go out of the way to make it a 5 star experience. Highly recommend, we’ve made so many memories here

Fantastic stay. Can’t think of a thing to change. Host was very communicative and clear in throughout the process and also had fun facts about the surrounding wildlife. The house is wonderful and has all the amenities we could have hoped for. Great range of living spaces from the well-stocked kitchen to a spacious living room, and patio with table, grill, and cushioned seats. The sun room was a particular favorite in the early mornings. We cooked most meals and the kitchen had all the pots, pans, etc we needed. The lake is crystal clear. Kayaking was great. Swimming off the dock worked well for the kids and the tubes in the garage were a great addition. The biggest difference compared to many rentals we’ve had is this feels like a home that belongs to a family who loves it themselves—not just a placed purchased to rent. Was a wonderful week!

A beautiful home on a quiet, clear lake. The listing descriptions and pictures shows you all the positive aspects of the property (and there are many) so there's no need to list all of those things. There are just a few things to be aware of if you plan to rent this home. If you have a larger group, there is not enough seating around the tables (in or out). Some of us had to sit on bar stools with our knees at table height. The only hooks for bath towels, beach towels, wet bathing suits, etc are by the two doors near the garage. Neither is located near a bathroom, a bedroom or the areas of the house most used so be prepared to get creative in order to dry your towels. The upstairs bedroom has a window AC that is very loud so people who like it quiet should not choose that room. The kitchen was fairly well appointed but know that there are no disposable products like paper plates, foil and baggies. The never ending list of rules and instructions is extensive and seems a little over the top but if you're a respectful guest, no worries. Overall, a nice place that just needs a little tweaking.

Property was everything that we expected and more!! Wonderfully kept, extremely tidy and clean, and gorgeous views of the lake. You can tell the owners have really put their heart and soul into this place. Only regret is I wish we had longer to stay, but we had a tight window this year for a summer vaca in which the owners even modified their minimum night requirement for us to make this family trip work. Thank you again!!

Our family enjoyed your home so much

Wonderful, family friendly place to stay and enjoy the best of northern Michigan without crowds! Lake was amazing and the hosts are top notch! Would definitely return!!

This property is stunning. The inside is clean and tidy, the outside is well groomed with amazing views! Indoor games, outdoor games on a quiet lake with very clear waters. It was very easy to communicate with the host who was very kind. The house was recently renovated and it shows! I would highly recommend this to anyone!

Wonderful stay. House was immaculate and beautifully decorated but still felt very homey. Had lots of fun fishing, swimming, and paddle boarding in lake.

Old farmhouse that was tastefully renovated. Accommodated our family very well as far as sleeping arrangements. The only thing that disappointing was how mucky the lake bottom was, which was disclosed in the description, we just didn’t realize how mucky. However, we still had a great time. We just floated at the end of the dock. We had great weather in the lake to use the kayaks. I encourage you to go through the little channel that takes you in to to Big Bass Lake. Owners were very communicative. Thanks for sharing your beautiful place!

The home was clean and well decorated. There were so many toys for the kids to use which was such a great amenity. The lake was great- we fished, kayaked, and swam. The owners were very responsive and helpful. You’re pretty much in the middle of nowhere so cell service was spotty. The only negative was the neighbor was pretty loud but it wasn’t really an issue.Overall our stay was fantastic!
