Great stay

We camped with a couple friend of ours here at the Skinny Dipper cottage. We enjoyed our time together. Our toddlers especially loved the playground and open space to run, along with the fishing dock just across the creek. We’ll be back.

Decent property but misleading post

My impression was our cabin would be lakefront which is what i put in the search. While the property itself is lake front, our actual cabin was not and there was no view of the lake where we were. I found this misleading and I'm not sure this was mentioned somewhere but it certainly wasn't the impression i was under by the listing, pictures etc Otherwise the stay was as expected, kitchen could be stocked a little better such as a wine opener. It's the little things. We had a nice time all in all but are not likely to return.

Enjoyed our stay

The hosts were very friendly and responsive.There was an issue with the hot water and the host came out immediately to fix the issue.The only thing I would say is that some of the pictures online do not depict the actual cabin and area correctly. For example we thought there was a gas grill because that was the picture that was shown on the site of the “Skinny Dipping” cabin. But that grill was located at another cabin on the grounds. Also from the pictures it appeared as though it was closer to the water. Some of the other cabins are. But the description does say access to a shared beach and does not say waterfront. So that’s partially my misunderstanding by not paying close attention to the description.The cabin was super clean!! Which is one of the things that is most important to me! The appliances were well maintained and clean!There are a few small amenities that would have made cooking a bit easier but mostly it was stocked as well as most.This particular cabin does not have a driveway right up to the cabin for unloading. Not a big issue if you know ahead of time. My husband has breathing issues and when we contacted the host he was very understanding and came out immediately to assist us and granting us permission to drive up to the cabin to drop my husband off.I would definitely recommend this cabin or others on the same property! I just think knowing a few of these things ahead would make your stay even better!!!

Skinny Dipper Cottage is a quaint, rustic cottage near a small lake. Do not expect anything very large or fancy. It is very much a cottage as the name suggests but cute and campy. We had a few issues while we were there, but the host was very responsive to phone calls. There are no toiletries provided apart from toilet paper and hand soap, so bring your own items. They also could have stocked up a bit more on the essentials to accommodate larger groups. Linens and towels are provided. There's lots of geese outside, so watch out for goose poop on the lawn! Our group spent most of our time elsewhere, but the nearby lake looked really nice. This cottage is perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway by the lake with family or friends.

Summer Getaway

Owner was super friendly and responsive to our needs. We filled the cabin to capacity but spent all our time in the lake, grilling, or by the fire pit. Rained a couple day but who cares. Brought kayaks with us but the guys used camp-supplied boats for fishing. The beach is tiny...just big enough to get to the water. It was a lovely vacay.

wonderful stay

Overall everything was perfect. The lake was perfect for kayaking and the kayaking rental rates are ridiculously awesome! The only downside is that the well-water smells so bad that it makes the cabin stink, and they should invest a little more into making the cabins feel cozy.

Water had a terrible smell. Probably the worse we’ve ever encountered

The location was great and the sleeping areas were great. The water had an unpleasant order to it.

Thanks Bob and Ruthann for staying with us and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes, the well water here has a lot of iron and minerals in it. We have it tested regularly and it has always tested safe for drinking and cooking, but we do recommend that guests bring drinking water. Hope to see you again soon!

Hey there!

Welcome to Camp Blue Canoe and thank you for checking us out. We are the family behind this beautiful, nature filled getaway we call paradise! Our tribe, the LaGiglias and the Regans, is all in the family. Bustling with 4 adults and 7 kids between our two households, we understand the daily grind, the everyday challenges, and frankly... the need to sometimes just got out of Dodge. The first time we walked this amazing 13 acres of Pure Michigan, we were completely sold. The rolling green hills, the waving forest trees, and the majestic Little Pleasant Lake instantly captured our family's hearts.

Our goal is to create that home away from home for families just like ours. We hope everyone staying at Camp Blue Canoe can wind down, take in the fresh air, and forget life for awhile. We are committed to making your stay as enjoyable and memorable as possible and creating a relaxing environment. Stay tuned, we have huge plans for this place and hope you will come along for the ride!

Cheers.... Salute.... Cent'Anni.... Céad Míle Fáilte,

John, Mel, Joe, & Sarah

Why they chose this property

Escape to nature! With only one other house on the lake and no motor boats buzzing around, you are really out in nature with all the comforts of a cottage. We are also only 3 miles from Three Rivers where you can find lots to see, do, or buy supplies.

What makes this property unique

A quiet nature get-away without going too far away. :-)
