Fun in the sun!

Property was exactly as depicted. Super clean. Good sleeping conditions. Great location with a sandy beach. Enjoyed kayaking during “no wake” hours on the lake. Saw lots of deer on our daily walks. We had anticipated (and would have had) a great time with our grandkids, but circumstances threw a monkey wrench at us. Hopefully we can fit it into everyone’s agenda next summer. We would very much like to return. Thank you Brett, for a very nice week at your place!

Absolutely great stay! Perfect cottage.

I’ll start out by saying we have been coming to Big Star for several years now and rented different cottages each year. This was by far the best one yet! We had an amazing time and the cottage was very nice and clean and had literally everything we needed. The kayaks and paddle board were used daily as well as the floating raft. Our kids had so much fun and the sleeping situation with the bunk room was awesome. The kitchen provided everything needed too and the seating was all comfortable and cozy which made for nice evenings relaxing with a good book. Thanks for everything!

Family vacation

We had such an enjoyable week and the weather was perfect. We had our 4 adult kids come thru the week with their family’s and had lots of room to spread out. The cottage is fully stocked and I definitely overpacked thinking I would need everything,but they had it all😊 If you drink a lot of coffee ,our family does, I would recommend bringing a bigger pot. Other then that it was perfect. Can’t wait to go again. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.
