Perfect lake vacation

This was an incredible week to connect with our growing family. Clean, comfortable & spacious home. Plenty of activities to do both at the lake and in the surrounding area. We didn’t need to contact the owners during our stay because there was no reason to. Communication both before our arrival and at check out was met with a prompt reply. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful Family Getaway!

This was our first time renting a cottage for a family getaway and we didn't know what to expect. I can say that it was better than I expected. The description and photos on the website are very accurate and the owners provide pretty much everything you could need. The beach is sandy out into the crystal clear lake, so you can see the bottom and the fish. We spent much of our stay at the beach or kayaking on the lake. The area near the cottage is quiet and peaceful because boaters mostly just putter around on pontoon boats. The cottage feels like you are walking into a model home. The main floor has a bedroom, laundry, bathroom, large kitchen and eating space, plus a comfortably living area. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all our meals including clean and fairly new appliances. We had seven adults and were all able to sleep comfortably on beds with nice clean linens. They even have a wall where you can immortalize your family's stay. Our overall assessment? We booked this cottage again for next summer as soon as we got home.

About the host

Hosted by Robert Brooks

Originally from Grand Blanc, MI, I grew up spending summers on Jose Lake. I am now a full time collegiate music educator living in Columbus, OH.

Why they chose this property

I was fortunate enough to purchase this property from a long time family friend, in 2018. My family has had a place on/near Jose Lake since the 1955 and for generations we have loved spending time on the lake. When this property came up, my wife and I jumped at the chance. Originally from Michigan, my wife and I now teach at THE university in Columbus, OH and love to use this place as a getaway from time to time.

What makes this property unique

New build, spacious, lake view and access on all-sports lake. The lake is the perfect size for vacations, just big enough to enjoy boating, jet skis, fishing, kayaking and more but small enough to avoid big crowds. The lake never gets as busy or loud as nearby lakes.
