Our stay was excellent. Quick commute to U of M Ann Arbor Hospital for my daughter’s clinical hours. The property is extremely clean, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the lakefront location makes it feel like a true retreat. Everything was comfortable and well cared for. Excellent communication from the host. Julie was such a friendly and kind individual. We would definitely stay again.

Great communication with host, very cozy place with excellent lake access. Only one bathroom on ground floor and two of the bedrooms are upstairs. Kitchen appliances are a little outdated and microwave was hidden in an out of the way cabinet so I didn’t even know they had one until we were leaving. Overall very nice stay and the lake is gorgeous and very peaceful.

Cozy cottage

We enjoyed our stay on Whitmore Lake! We found great restaurants in the area. The lake was fun for kayaking and fishing. The cottage had everything we needed for a romantic getaway weekend. The hosts even provided a bottle of wine for our anniversary!

A Lakefront Gem! Clean, well stocked and lots to do! We brought our boat and kayaks (the cabin does have 1 kayak)- lots of family time cruising the lake (watch out for very shallow areas (over on the southeast side it's shallow and rocks big enough to ding your prop-there is a topographical lake map framed on the wall at the bottom of the stairs), fishing, swimming, floating on tubes in the sandbar. Nice small beach at the cabin. Tried Captain Joes nearby - excellent food and cocktails. The screened in porch is great to watch the Purple Martins singing and zipping around feeding their young. One flew up to the screened in porch, gripped the screen and watched us for a minute, before flying off. The large firepit is great for gathering in the evening to take in the lake, make pudgie pies and relax in the comfortable chairs. A wonderful place to be. The host is responsive to any questions you may have.

Great find !!

We loved our stay at Whitmore Lake. Julie’s cottage is beautifully renovated. So tasteful, but left a little of the ambience of the original structure. The location is fantastic and the view from the porch is unforgettable. We had swans visit us every morning.. Don’t hesitate to book the cottage.

Thank you Mark! We are so glad you enjoyed the cottage and noticed that we tried to keep some original aesthetic while giving it modern amenities. And the porch is my favorite place as well! Please come again soon!

Excellent for Visiting UM Fans

We had tickets for the game and everywhere in Ann Arbor was super expensive (or already booked) that weekend. Cozy Cottage was perfect; comfortable, clean, and 35 minutes from the stadium. We also ate at nearby restaurants and avoided the crazy busy Ann Arbor places. Our hosts responded quickly to emails and messages via the app. I recommend!

We loved our stay at this cozy cottage. We were in town for a Michigan football game and it was an easy drive to and from Ann Arbor. We loved coming back from the game and playing in the sand, and relaxing by the fire pit. We enjoyed our coffee on the screened in porch with the beautiful view of the lake (and swans and ducks). Cottage is nicely updated and still charming. Perfect for our family of 4 (with 2 littles - age 2 and 4). Communications with Julie were great as well. We’d love to be back.
