We loved our stay at the bungalow. Ben and Lisa are wonderful with all communication. It's a great place to just relax but also able to do a day trip to almost anywhere. We enjoyed kayaking down the Muskegon River and kayaking around Big Lake. Great for kids too with the beach and swimming area. Beautiful property and well maintained! Highly recommend this place if you just want a quiet place to unwind. Almost everything you would need is here, all you need to bring is clothes and food. Thanks Ben and Lisa for an awesome stay.

Perfect for a small family.

My family of five (kids ages 6,4, & 2) enjoyed every minute playing in the sand, fishing off the dock, and having fires in the evening. Our stay was a nice quiet break from reality and we enjoyed every minute of it!

The PERFECT place! The cabin was super clean and cozy. The location was absolutely perfect! The owner took the time to clean all of the seaweed out from the water in front of the cabin which was amazing! Our babies played in the sand and the water the entire time. We would definitely come back!

We had a nice stay. The cottage is clean and comfortable. The sandy beach kept our granddaughter happily playing all day. There’s plenty of parking and the boat launch is only a few miles away. The neighbors are very friendly. The lake is just the right size for fishing, tubing and kayaking. The area has lots to offer including horseback riding and places to eat. We look forward to our next stay.

A beautiful place on an amazing inland Michigan lake. The accommodations are first rate. The beach and dock were more than adequate to enjoy the water and dock the boat. Big lake provided close to a 100 combined largemouth bass and northern pike. Also, plenty of panfish. This was during our three day stay in early August. We hope to come back!

Big Lake Cottage

We had an amazing time at the cottage. The owners are extremely responsive and friendly. The cottage is clean and well kept and includes just about everything needed for a stay. The dock makes taking your boat along very easy. There’s also kayaks to take out on the lake. The neighbors are also very friendly. The area has lots to offer such as horseback riding and go cart racing.

Amazing Getaway

The owners and family were very accommodating and incredibly welcoming. They made us feel like one of the family at the lake. The house itself was incredible with the amazing porch/patio that overlooked the lake that was literal steps away. Whether you spend nights by a fire or up on the outdoor patio couch, it was as relaxing and enjoyable as it gets. More than enough room inside and out for our 4 family members (wife/spouse, 2 kids under 6). Perfect getaway with a perfect host!

Great getaway cabin!

This cabin was just as advertised, pictures are all accurate. If you are looking for a place to just chill with family or friends, this is it. The lake itself is a quiet place. We kayaked in the morning and late afternoon and it was very peaceful. The cabin is stocked with everything you need and was super clean and everything looked new. We loved it and are talking about going back next summer. It would also be a great spot in the Fall.

Great get away

This property is a beauty! We love the wood cabin feeling. This cabin had everything we needed except food and clothes! We loved the lake and the dock. Feeding the fish every morning was a family favorite. As well as kayaking, it was a first for the kids, now considering buying our own! The owners were very responsive and quick to handle any concerns. This vacation allowed us to relax and just take it all in. We will be back soon!sfamil!
