Great property but unkempt
Overall we had a great time at the property and even went to the local farmers market. Our biggest negative was cleanliness for both the house and pontoon boat.

Great Place!
We loved this place. It was very clean and organized. We took the boat out 3 days and that was a added perk. The dock was nice to fish off of and it had a great area to swim. Only suggestion is new mattresses, we woke up feeling old. Great communication from owner, questions answered very quickly. Overall we loved it and have already talked about going back.

Plenty of room and great shower. Enjoyed the kayaks and the pontoon once we got it going. Would be good to post step by step instructions on operation of the pontoon. Great fire pit and plenty of camp chairs to sit around it. Kitchen stove/oven and other fans could use a thorough cleaning. Would rent this again. Good weekend with friends.

We had a great girls weekend at the cottage!
It was a nice lake weekend getaway. The owner was very accommodating with good communication. We used the kayaks and the pontoon which was a bonus! We also enjoyed just sitting in our floats on the sandy lake frontage. The stars were amazing and vibrant. We loved the evenings laughing around the fire pit. There were 5 of us and we had more than enough room. When I originally searched it, I had put in 8 people but we ended up with just 5. Just make sure you notify the owner how many people you really have because there is an extra persons fee. Overall we had an amazing weekend and would go again!

Wonderful fishing cottage getaway
This simple fishing cottage has everything you need and nothing you don’t. We took an end of summer getaway with three teens - unplugged. No TV, No internet. Just fishing, boating, Kayaking, card games, fires and family meals cooked in the kitchen. The boat was perfect and we caught a fish just about every time we cast a line (bluegill, perch, pike). There at fans in case it is hot out (no AC) but the breeze off the lake seemed to be enough to keep the cabin cool on a 90 degree day. There is a nearby grocery store and place to tube down a nearby River. The sunsets are picturesque. We will be back again.

Our little paradise!
We were looking for the perfect place to stay that wasn't a big tourist area, offered outdoor activity and was just simple, private and peaceful. This little cottage met every expectation we had. We had limited reception so that kept the kids very limited on their phone time(bonus). We sat around one evening and played checkers, we laughed and talked more in that few days than we had in a long time. We didn't turn the t.v. on one time. We enjoyed the beautiful lake, mostly all to ourselves, on the pontoon and fishing. One of the days we went into Evart to JJ's and did a river float and we loved it. It was the perfect getaway! Cody was great to work with!

Fun week
Cody was very helpful. Check in was easy. Location on the lake was great. We all enjoyed swimming in the lake, kayaking, and campfires at night for s’mores. Fishing was great-even off the dock. Pontoon was nice to take out and ran great. House was well supplied for our week stay. Had a fun week.

Great place to get away
Cory was a wonderful host. He was available to answer questions and help us with anything we needed. The stay was great. The cottage is older but very clean. We loved using the boat on one of the days and taking out the kayaks. Our kids had a great time and loved playing in the water and looking for seashells. One thing to note is the lake has a lot of grass. It didn’t keep us from enjoying our time but with the younger kids it would have been nice to have more room to wade in the water. Doesn’t take away from the house or experience but wanted to mention that for guests with younger kids.

We had a wonderful time. Home had everything we needed to cook and grill. Took the boat out and enjoyed the water. We caught a bunch of fish. We really enjoyed our time away with family. We loved the place and views. We plan on returning.
