Negatives- beds aren’t so comfortable, upstairs toilet struggles to flush, had to turn on the hot water heater and the place could use a deep clean. Positives- great location, great air conditioning, nice cabin feeling and the deck outside was great to hangout on. Overall I’d stay again and would recommend to anyone.
I was skeptical about the stay with mixed reviews but I’m glad we took a gamble to go. We had the best family vacation. We took our own kayaks and paddle boards to use, floats, camping chairs, sheets, towels and blankets - which was fine by us. The dock provided an area for kids to fish and watch fireworks. The beach area upon arrival was a little mucky, but the kids playing and splashing around helped clear it up a bit! The middle of the lake swimming was perfect for the whole crew to link up and just play. The basics are there, but if you think you’ll need it, bring it! One thing that was a little weird is the no cell service - at first my teen kids were bummed, but they quickly remembered how to play, and we played board games and watched DVDs that we brought from home. We ventured to Ludington one day, it was not a very long hike - just take directions with you ahead of time due to the limited service or use a map! Overall was a great time, beds were comfy, kids had fun and us adults lived for those precious moments of laughter. ? We hope to come back next year!
Didn’t notice that linens were not provided. We dealt with that. No dish towels, no wastebaskets in some bedrooms, owner in willing to help with problems…. Property was on a pretty lake.
The windows need to be cleaned and some new pillows

My husband and I and our six kids had a good stay at the property. The beach could use some new sand added and weeds removed but 5-7 year olds don’t care too much about that. The lake is non-sporting so it’s nice and quiet. We saw geese and ducks and a loon during the week. The house itself is furnished with rather dated furniture but not too bad. It was cleaner than some reviews led us to believe so that was good. Some dust and dirt but negligible. One piece of advice-if you think you’ll need it for the week, pack it in. They had cleaning supplies and hand soap and a good selection of laundry soaps. We did not find any dish towels or dish soap. And the description does say you’ll need sheets and towels and that is still the case. Overall I’ve stayed in better places for less money, but the peace and quiet was worth the trip!
I was traveling with my aunts and uncle, the size of the place was nice. Upon entering the house it had a musty smell, we just opened the window and sprayed everything down. The check list tells you what to do but me being a woman I had no idea how to turn the water on. The list should give more details. The list should also have the wifi information on it. I slept in the room with bunkbeds and those beds need to be updated bad I could feel the Wood planks. Not a good sleep. Only one full size bed had a mattress topper. The water would get hot in the sink but not in the shower upstairs. We didn’t turn the shower on downstairs because it neededs to be updated and didn’t look clean. Over all we had a good time the view is nice.
Cottage definitely needs a deep clean, even the outlets need updating, everything you plug in just falls out. You will need to bring black and also white trash bags, along with toilet paper, which is not included in the instructions.
Lake is very quiet and the location is awesome!! The house is set up nicely and plenty of parking area! The only thing was the cleanliness of the house. It really needs a good deep clean. The beach area could also use a rake.
