Mecosta, Michigan
On scenic School Section Lake the view looks right out between the island and peninsula with great northern pines and hundreds of acres of county property that leave the view spectacular. Our property has several mature trees to find the shade and plenty of open space to enjoy the sun. Two large decks provide a beautiful view with ample sitting space. A spacious ranch style home with all the amenities you will need. Patios with relaxing, comfortable cushion chairs, picnic table and umbrella. Fire pit for those special evenings. We even provide firewood! And then there is the fishing! Over 6000 Walleye have been planted.
*Minimum 5 night stay during summer months

The property was nice and quiet. The access to kayaks and paddle boat a fireplace and fire pit, with firewood provided was all important components to an enjoyable weekend. The only thing I would have wanted to know ahead of time was that that the basement bed is only accessible via narrow & steep stairwell. Thankfully, there were alternative bed options.
We had a great time. The kids had fun playing, fishing, roasting marshmallow’s and playing with all the toys! Adults had fun on the kayaks and paddle boat. A great location! Thank you for sharing it with us!
This was our second time renting this house and there has not been one issue. Everything was as it should be and everyone had a blast! Already rented for next year!
We enjoyed the house and lake. The house seemed cleaner than last year and it was great that the cupboards were cleaned out so we could put stuff away. We missed the paddle board that was there last year. We really had fun on the paddle boat, floating dock and the kayaks.
Everything was great, loved it!
A great property for a large group of friends to hang out and golf.
Booked for a bachelor's party for 6 guys. Had plenty of room for hangout and relaxation. We were able to use kayaks and everything we needed during our stay was available. Good, clean house. Only letdown was the water heater was not working. Would recommend to anyone else
Great location ..easy check in..I stayed 6days with my family I walked in and felt like I just stepped into someones home but not in the good way I called out thinking I had! there is stuff in every drawer in every closet .so you have no room to put your stuff our grocerys had to stay on the counter because we couldn't put them away. Everyone's clothes had to stay in suit cases I realize this is a family home but when you rent thru VRBO it should be cleaned properly that includes cabinets and closets the beds were not the best and there was a old person smell it was so strong and so bad. Like the old couple that own the home just walked out minutes before I walked in..I rent houses thru vrbo and other companies I travel 3 or 4 times a year and I have never encountered anything like this..If my family wasn't driving to meet there I promise you I would of turned around and walked right back out the door so I was forced to make the best of it. I realized there isn't alot of choices in this area but this should never be able to be rented.STAY AWAY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE..I PROMISE YOU WILL REGRET IT. Do your homework they own and rent another one next door that is the very same way.
We loved our stay in the cottage. I gave a 4 for accuracy of the listing because it stated wood will be provided. We searched the property and didn't see any. Had to provide our own. We did reach out to the owner for a kick back in the rental fee. He agreed. We loved the peacefulness.
Owner responsive. Property perfect. Amenities perfect. Great friendly neighborhood and lake! No problems at all and have already rented for next year! If you’re looking for a family cabin on the lake rent this one!
Nice size, reasonably priced cottage on pretty lake. Enjoyed boating options, raft. 5 day stay. Inside cottage was dingy and dirty (walls, windows, carpet, upholstery, curtains. Kitchen cupboards dirty and disorganized with little room for guest items. Tub nearly clogged. Good fireside chairs (no wood) but lower deck had broken, stained chairs and broken picnic table bench on grill patio. Trash bins were overflowing in garage. Made decision to make best of it (did some cleaning in worst areas) as too late to go elsewhere. Then our area of lake unexpectedly posted for weed treatment with a no swimming restriction for 2 days. Asked host if he would consider waiving dock fee during that time to help distract kids. Advised where we could go elsewhere on lake and only took $100 off fee. Situation deteriorated further when tree trimmers showed up those days (told host of my displeasure first day) and ran chainsaws by garage and adjacent property host owns. We had to go elsewhere to enjoy anything. After stay sent letter and pictures to host outlining all we’d endured and requested 50% refund. A week later, no response. Not how we envisioned our long anticipated, 3-generation family vacation.
Everything was great this time... Last time we stayed their we had a storm that knocked out the power on like the 1st night...
Nice little lake and we enjoyed the kayaks, paddle board, paddle boat, and the floating dock. The sunroom table was good for games when it rained.
Thank you Brian for having this great cottage to share with everyone. Not many people would go to the trouble to provide a cool pontoon boat for their guests, but you do and we appreciate you! Our family had a great time. Hope to see you next year!
Two families shared this cottage. It has a traditional cottage feel and the open living and kitchen area plus sun porch was a great space for the extended family to gather. We also used the pontoon each day for fishing and site seeing.
The house is on a beautiful part of School Section Lake. Very peaceful when we were there. We were able to even kayak over to the county park across the lake.
This is a great setting with plenty of outdoor space on the beatiful lake. The home has a lot of potential. However, it's greatly outdated, the one bathroom is very small and we ran out of toilet paper on the morning of departure. The pictures and description presented on the online listing were a little deceiving. We still had a great time. Thanks for having us.
wonderful, would stay again
Had an overall fun experience with this rental.
