I am not sure why they are surprised by no dishwasher. We didn’t advertise one nor is there one in the pictures. I would love to install one but the kitchen isn’t big enough. If a dishwasher is important to you please stay at the Lazy Acorn Yellow Perch just 5 houses down the street. It has a dishwasher. Thanks Dewayne

The place was a cute little cottage. It had everything we needed and was clean. It did smell a bit musty. Opening windows helped with that, and air freshener. Contact with host was good as well.

Thanks, that is why there is a pedestal fan in each room to help move the cool air from the Air Conditioner around when it is really hot outside. Hope to see you next year!

Great little cabin

Came here to do some ice fishing. Perfect little cabin for us, has all you need for such a trip. Access to the main lake just a few houses down the road, with the canal out back (which I'm sure is awesome in the summer).

Good enough

We just had a short stay, simply a place to sleep. Main bed was squeaky, the water was slimy( too soft), and the bunk beds were difficult to make. Otherwise it was fine enough.

About the host

Host profile image
I own multiple vacation rentals in the Cadillac area. If this one is filled, please ask if I have others available. I am a realtor in the 6-county area. Have 2 children, and love spending my time away in the rentals I own when they aren't rented out.

Why they chose this property

All the access to Lake Mitchell and Lake Cadillac without the higher prices of most lake front rentals! No cleaning fees. Yes, you are asked to clean after yourselves, but for an hour of work you get to keep your money in your pocket.

What makes this property unique

All the access to Lake Mitchell and Lake Cadillac without the higher prices of most lake front rentals! Dock your boat 20 feet from the house.
