Perfect for the whole family!

We had three generations under roof and the place was perfect! We enjoyed walks, kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boat and just hanging out by the lake or by the fire pit! Also got some great star photos from the dock with my son’s telescope! Would have loved another night or two as it was amazing!

4th of July Fun

Very nice cottage, lots of comfortable beds, kitchen and dining area was large and very well stocked. The lake is shallow by the dock which was great for the kids to play and "fish". Fireworks were awesome, an added plus! Dawn was very prompt with any questions we had. Great place to take the family for a week or long weekend. 5 stars for sure!

Duck Lake

Beautiful lake house located on the north end. Great sandy bottom area of the lake for kids to swim around the dock. The house is so cute. The kids can stay upstairs while the adults can stay in the bedrooms downstairs. Ample dishes and pots and pans. This is a great house to just relax and spend quality time. I would rent this house again.

Great house for family

The size of the house suited our 10 member family well. The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook our meals and relax for the weekend. The house is not air conditioned but the weather cooperated and it wasn’t too hot. The room air conditioners and window fans kept the upstairs cool. The patio was very nice and a great place to view the lake.

Wonderful Lake House

My family (six adults/one toddler) and I stayed very comfortably at this wonderful lake house for four nights while attending my daughter's wedding. We had great weather a couple of days and the southern exposure and being right on the lake was priceless! My grandson loved walking on the dock and watching the fish! The house is as advertised and actually larger inside than I had expected. There was an abundance of extra amenities and nothing we needed was lacking. I had only a few issues/questions which were immediately responded to. I would definitely stay here again when in the area and highly recommend this house for a family stay. Thanks!!

We enjoyed our stay at this house. The lake was really nice, warm and relaxing. Wasn't super busy. Our kids loved the swimming area. Their one complaint was that it wasn't deep enough to jump off the dock, but they still loved it! The neighbor Sherri a couple houses down was really helpful and nice as was Dawn. She was quick to respond to communication. If you have a lot of people bring extra bath towels. Bring chairs if you want to sit by the fire pit or there is a bench from the picnic table you can take to the fire pit. Our teens had a great time on the paddle boards and kayaks! We were lucky enough to go on the Paddle the Duck weekend. The kids paddled the lake, got treats/other fun items and even won 2 gift cards in the raffle to the ice cream place in Springport. Overall, it was a great week. Also, bring plenty of drinking water if you're not a fan of well water.

The property was very clean and spacious. My kids loved fishing off the dock and venturing out on the lake with the kayaks and paddle boards. We've been on Duck lake multiple times but this was the first time we had a place to call home base. We had a great time!

Plenty of comfortable beds. The little ones loved playing in the lake all day. Kitchen is fully stocked but we could have used an empty cupboard for our food and snacks. We had so much fun with the paddle boards and kayaks, and a bonfire every evening. Highly recommend this cottage for big families!
