Host was very kind and available. Kitchen well stocked. Bedrooms comfortable. The home could use some light maintenance and a new shower curtain. Beautiful view of the lake. Quiet neighborhood. Lots of water sports equipment available at the house. Good solid place to stay.
The house was great. The location was great. The only thing that wasn’t and it wasn’t anybody’s fault, but mother nature was the weather. It didn’t get nice and sunny until we left but we would definitely stay again. Thank you.

There were dead bugs all along walls in lower two bedrooms that we removed. The access to the cottage was very challenging for a person with mobility issues which was not stated on the website. The Internet address and password that were sent the day before arrival were incorrect. The view and the lake was beautiful. Nice cottage area and we enjoyed visiting the wineries.
Enjoyed everything about the property I really do wish it was accessible for your own fishing boat renting a place on the water and not being able to bring your boat is kind of a downer overall we had a great time
We are Ann Arbor locals who have been living in the area for almost 20 years. My family has been renting out this cottage for 10+ and love meeting new people who visit.
Why they chose this property
It is a quiet and cozy area in the winter, amazing for ice fishing and bonfires. In the summer there is always something going on in the nearby towns filled with restaurants, shops, and festivals. The lake is perfect for swimming, kayaking, or just lounging in a beach chair.
What makes this property unique
The sunsets here are like no others and are the true star of every vacation. It is an amazing place for small family gatherings or a trip with close friends. We love this place so much and hope you will too!
