Cottage with a view!

The cottage offered great lake front views and private beach! Overall it met our needs and we enjoyed our stay. I think the pics looks nicer than in person .. A few things that we weren’t happy about was the upstairs does have AC, just fans but, Peter did send two fans, and a room AC unit that arrived the day before we left, there were ants in the kitchen, and we found 2 ticks inside, The house has well water, which had a smell to it. Dishwasher broke as well. Most of the places we rent in the area are newer so I guess we’re spoiled. All in all we had a great time and Peter was quick to resolve things.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ view

Definitely can’t beat the view! We have stayed here several times and always love our stay! Overall pleased with the property! I would highly suggest a filtration/softener system to improve the smell and taste of the well water the house has.

Convenient get-away

We stayed here for an end of summer vacation. The views make the place and spotting the passing freighters. 5 min from town. It was a very quiet place. Please note beach access is shared so neighbors will pass through the yard to reach the beach.

Great stay!

We rented the red cottage along with the log cabin to host a small wedding. Everything was perfect and both houses made for plenty of room for our 30 guests to sleep comfortably. Will definitely be returning to this property!

Perfect Cottage

We stayed at this cottage a few years ago and we were happy at that time. Peter continues to make positive improvements to his cottage and it is even nicer now. We will not hesitate to book this beautiful cottage again.

Family Bachelorette Party

The property worked perfectly for our group of 10, ranging in age from 6 years old to 89 years old. Our stay was only two nights, however had been longer,(with10 women) the one bathroom might have posed a problem. The ground were very nice and place is equipped with everything you need to be comfortable.

Beautiful property — but the house is quirky

The views of Lake Huron were absolutely gorgeous and access to the lake was easy. Be aware that the stairs to the lake are not the access point — there is a path just beyond it. The house itself is quirky — so if you’re more concerned with the house than the view, you may want to find another property. The windows don’t appear to have been washed in quite some time and both porches were unclean. The gazebo — which has the potential to be the property’s showcase, is pretty rundown with a door nearly off the hinge and quite a few mouse inhabitants. Also quirky — you have to put the sheets on the bed yourself when you arrive. We enjoyed our time there, but would not likely return.I rated it as high as I did because the view is spectacular.

Relaxation Disappointment

Found dirty dishes and silverware in the kitchen cabinets. Microwave and dishwasher did not work well. Would have been nice to know that there was construction going on next door before booking as my 84 yr old mother and 2 dogs did not like the noises. Construction crew showed up at 7 am. 😒 Also, not aware that I would have to make beds. I have a bad back. Did not feel that the property was worth what we paid for relaxation other than the view. The view was amazing. cabinets. Microwave and dishwasher

Should mention you have to make beds. Ice maker not working on fridge. For price expected a little more. However, was clean and comfortable. Beds and furniture comfortable. Thankfully I read reviews to learn about heaters upstairs.

Red cottage

While the house was as listed, there were some issues. The property was not able to be locked. One upstairs bedroom was either sweltering or freezing. Bedroom screens had holes. Beach access should have been provided; I had to ask. No sheets on the beds upon arrival. The overall space was as described. Plenty of sleeping space, kitchen well stocked. The outside area was great, the view spectacular. There was a fenced in yard for the dogs. Despite these concerns, we were able to have a good family vacation.

NICE CABIN — EXPECT TO STOP BY THE GROCERY STORE

I don’t presume to know how difficult it is to own a property and rent it out to strangers who may or may not treat the place respectfully. That being said, I have used VRBO quite extensively, both in the US and abroad, for approximately the past decade. PROS House and property itself is nice and what you would expect of a cabin. Dog friendly. The view by the water is gorgeous. The house is set back far away from the busy road so you definitely feel like you are in nature. The fenced in yard for the dogs is a huge bonus. The two beds we slept in were comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with kitchenware (utensils, plates, pots/pans, etc.) CONS No welcome packet or written materials from owner. Only communication from owner was via VRBO confirmation e-mail, with note from owner giving the wi-fi name and password, and a stern warning to not reset the router or risk losing internet the duration of the stay. Ironically, the information provided for wi-fi and password were both incorrect. Correct information was found on the manufacturer sticker on the back of the modem. The wi-fi speed is slow like dial-up. Cell phone coverage (Verizon, Boost) is spotty here. Maybe it was due to COVID, but other than the toilet paper already on the dispenser, there was no additional toilet paper. None of the sheets were on the (approximately 9) beds—just a coverlet atop a mattress (with mattress protector). Guest is expected to put on the sheets. Only two adult bathing towels — one of which we fortunately located within the dryer. Well water tastes like heavy metals. Be prepared to rely on bottled water to drink.

Cozy Clean Comfortable

The water view from the cottage is amazing. We enjoyed a bonfire out back. We could not adjust the heat properly but each bedroom has individual heaters and we built a fire in the fireplace. No need to over pack for your stay. All essentials for cooking were provided.
