Stayed Dec 26, 2025Had a great Christmas away from home. A place to drag all the kids and their spouses away from everything else going on around the holidays. The place is large, lots of room to spread out, large kitchen for bigger groups. The bed I slept in was pretty comfortable and overall a comfortable place. Kitchen was very well appointed, probably more than most places we've stayed. Only 7 minutes from downtown Lansing so easy to pop over and grab dinner, drinks or groceries. We took the ferry across to Wisconsin to see the activities happening on the river.

Stayed Aug 29, 2025I want to thank Jane & John for hosting my friends and family. This place is spacious, clean, and warming. The scenery is awesome as well. The check in to the check out process was smooth. Everything was accommodated well and Jane is responsive! I recommend this place to anyone who is staying in the area with a bigger party.

Stayed Jul 30, 2025One of the cleanest VRBOs we have ever stayed in!! Plenty of room for everyone. The little ones loved the large front yard and we could watch them from the balcony porch. The loft space was their favorite spot! Lots of things to do in the surrounding towns. We LOVED this place!

Stayed Jun 13, 2025The large cabin is beautiful! Bathroom on every floor definitely was a plus. Only thing we will do differently in the future is renting the cottage as well lol be nice for the grand parents on a family reunion to have a place to step away from the grandkids! 10/10 would recommend and will use again in the future

Stayed Sep 13, 2024This was a great place for us to have our cousins weekend! The cottage was a great size for our group, we had plenty of room. Definitely could host a large family or friends weekend. We enjoyed the dry creek bed and the surrounding paths. Only thing I wpuld suggest is a step stool for us short people. Highly recommend a stay!

The owners were so accommodating to everyone and they were so easy to get ahold of! The house had everything you'd possibly need and the fire pit was AMAZING! We couldn't recommend this place enough. Such an amazing experience!!!
