South Branch, Michigan
Charming 3 bedroom cottage on Jose Lake in South Branch, 9 miles from Hale and 1 mile from the Au Sable River. 78 feet of water frontage on 129 acre all sports Jose Lake. We have a small sandy beach, a dock and a fire pit on the property. Rental includes 2 kayaks. The third bedroom shares with laundry and entry, not really a bedroom in the sense of privacy but does have two twin size beds. Jose lake is an all sports lake with good fishing. The cabin located on the very quiet northern end of the lake (not where google map shows) at the corner of Cedar and Nicole. It is also 15 minutes from Largo Springs, Lumberman's Monument, and the sand bluff. Whether you are looking to fish off the dock, just lounge around and cook over the fire or explore the area on a hiking expedition, this place has all that you are looking for on your getaway. Come explore the hidden gem of South Branch Michigan and relax. The real world will be there when you return.
Comfy, clean, fully stocked, fire pit, pontoon, kayaks, fishing, games, and fun! We had a wonderful weekend!
Absolutely loved the covered back deck! It was a great place to eat and hang out. Cabin was comfortable, living room spacious and met our needs. Outside was quiet and lake was peaceful. A couple things that would enhance the guest experience would be a new shed where new outdoor furniture could be stored so it would be clean, a rack for storing kayaks so they would be clean and not full of water, and 20 hangers in each closet so guests can hang their coats and clothes. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Enjoyed our stay very much. Nice little cottage and great fishing. Paddle boat worked great to fish. Caught three large bass and many smaller fish. Quiet area, owner was very responsive! Neighbors were soooo nice!
It was great fishing it would have been nice to have some kind of grill, we would have brought our own but it said it had one.
This was our second time staying here and we loved it once again! The lake is just beautiful! We seen and caught lots of blue gills and bass! Cabin had everything we needed and was super cozy! We will be back next spring!
This was a great experience! The fishing was fantastic, the lake was beautiful, and the cabin was everything we hoped it would be. Took the paddle boat out and did some trolling around the lake. We had a blast! Thank you Tim and Nancy!
This property is absolutely excellent. Beautiful area, excellent amenities in the home, and good environment. My only hesitation in recommending someone to book this property would be in hopes of keeping the dates open for myself. I loved it and hope I can return in the future.
Highly recommended, right on the lake.
We really enjoy the cabin we loved the kyaks and pontoon boat. This year was a bit stressful my best friend of 45 years passed away the day of this trip she is out of state but I was dealing with a lot of heavy grief hoping no one heard me crying or yelling that’s not common place for me ever but the circumstances were difficult this time. We always try to clean up good and leave good reviews it’s really nice and peaceful here one of my favorite places. Hoping I can get it for my birthday next year.
Kids enjoyed fishing the abundance of fish at the dock. We also enjoyed the kayaks. Not too far from largo springs or lumberman monument
Renting the property was quick and easy. The setting was wonderful with all the mature trees right on the lake. The firepit was great for cooking outside. The sandy beach was great from early morning til late in the evening. The fish right off the dock was exceptional. Sat outside rain and sunshine. We had no bugs. Very quiet neighborhood. The boats and kayaks were ours on even days. They are shared with another cottage but we had plenty to do. Great experience and will go back again
Nice place, very clean. Nice and quiet. Near things to do. Kayaking, fishing, Tawas, Will come back.. Thanks
My wife and I planned to do some biking and hiking in Tawas and Grayling areas. This was a great spot to get to both areas. The place was clean and well-equipped. Tim and Nancy were terrific at communicating and answering questions. The place has a lot of little things to make the stay more comfortable. We were there on a record high temperature day and slept just fine with the window AC. View from the porch and the boats were very enjoyable. Close to Iargo Springs (which everyone should visit at least once in their life) and spectacular views of and access to Au Sable river. We enjoyed everything about our stay.
