Great place to stay!

You can tell the owner takes great pride in their place. The cabin was extremely clean, kitchen fully equiped, outside grounds were neat. Loved having the washer and dryer for just a few things I needed done. The owners were available at any time, always wanted to make sure everything was just right for us.

Lovely Cottage on the Lake

Lovely place on the lake. The house had everything we needed plus fun games. The bay windows give a wonderful view of the lake. We enjoyed spending time on the deck. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and left good instructions. Overall we had a wonderful stay.

Beautiful home

This is a very nice home away from home. Very clean, decor is beautiful. Fully equipped kitchen, which we would have hardly used had the weather cooperated. Excellent fishing. We had a tornado warning during our stay and the owner was in contact with us almost immediately to make sure we felt safe. Best vacation I've had in years!

If I’m paying a thousand dollars for 4 nights I would like cable of some sort and WiFi. Maybe I should’ve asked but you should put it online.

Great Chippewa lake cottage!

Loved the deck and the lake and bottom were great there! We had everything we needed! As an fyi The phone signal is a bit sparse in that area and Wi-Fi would have helped for communicating with our other family members in other cottages around the lake but we would highly recommend!

Beautiful view!

We had a wonderful relaxing time here watching the water birds, floating, taking out the paddle board, or just relaxing on the dock. The only suggestion might be a ladder or step stool to get back up on the dock....we were all retired friends! :) The cottage had all the amenities we needed and was very clean and cozy! Thank you for a wonderful experience and for sharing your special place with us!!

Excellent location on the lake.

We really enjoyed our stay . The deck was a great area to sit in the morning and even though the whole day. Great view, we were out the wind, and the water stays mainly calm. Would definitely stay again. If you ever think about selling give me a call. 517-285-8841. Thank you again for the great cottage rental.

Wonderful Getaway

We had such a nice time, the cottage was perfect. It's a bit remote, so it's far enough out that you feel like you are 'away' but still close enough to town to make a run to the store if you find you forgot something or need to grab a few quick items. Rachel was super nice and communicated very well. I found myself out on the deck or dock every morning just enjoying the scenery and listening to the local birds chirp. The pictures are great, but honestly don't do the cottage justice. The short path between the deck and the dock has tall old growth trees that provide wonderful shade and a lovely frame for the lake. Beds were comfortable, and the place is well kept and clean. All of the essentials are there, and a few nice to haves as well. If you are considering a stay here, just book it. You won't regret it. We found ourselves wishing for a longer stay several times during the trip. One note that isn't so much a detriment but something to be aware of ... Cell coverage isn't great at the lake and surrounding area and there is no internet at the cottage. I am a geek and went through a little tech withdraw while we were there, but managed just enough hotspotting to do the tasks I needed to while I was away from work. You won't be streaming movies while you are there, but my family of internet addicts didn't really miss it as much as we thought we would at first. Definitely a five star spot, and it gets a huge thumbs up from us.

Perfect getaway!

We had the best stay at this cottage. The water area is the perfect height for small children to play around in all day - and the paddleboat made for fun trips down the lakeside for all. We were able to house 8 people (5 adults, 3 kids) with the use of the pullout couches at night. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Girls getaway

We stayed from Friday to a Monday. We had the most gorgeous full moon to see right off the spacious beautifully maintained and clean deck area. The host, Rachel, was great about checking in with us throughout our stay. Offered to bring extra fans over since it was a very warm weekend. Very well equipped kitchen. The queen bed was very comfortable and the twin bunk room was huge. The bathroom was very clean. Plenty of storage for clothing and food. The fridge was great and kept everything super cold. The deck and the dock are strong and not made of wood so no splinters. I think it's the Trex stuff. Really nice!! We did not use the paddleboat, kayaks, the grill or games. Nice fireplace. Great deck furniture. We all would love to return next summer. You won't regret renting here

Quiet retreat

We stayed a Monday thru thurs and it was a nice, quiet get away. In person, the inside of the property pleasantly surprised us! The sliding doors on the back of the property lead to a nice sized deck and let in a bunch of sunlight and a refreshing breeze. Overall enjoyed the quiet retreat!

Great Accomodations

We had such a wonderful time! The cottage was really well stocked and very clean and well kept. It's a beautiful setting with a nice big deck, large shade trees, plenty of sunshine, and a great dock. They also provided a paddle boat, kayaks, float tubes, yard games...it was SO RELAXING. The neighbors were all wonderful and very friendly and welcoming. We truly enjoyed our stay. Before we had left, our 4 yr old asked if we could come back again! The kids never left the water, and the grown-ups all agreed that we had not been so relaxed and carefree in quite a while!
