Peaceful and clean cottage

Beautiful Platte Lake waterfront cottage. Sit on the patio or in the living room and watch the lake while listening to birdsong, gentle waves and the wind in the trees. We had a fire in the outdoor fireplace and looked at the stars. House was spotless and had all the kitchenware one needs to prepare meals. Beds were comfortable. Nice gas fireplace inside to take the chill out of the air. Plenty of outlets for charging phones, watches or other electronics. Great property and Susan was very responsive to questions.

Quiet Stay

Nice time, beautiful lake, cozy home, property owner responsive to needs. Kitchen with plenty of dishes, kitchenware, nothing like blenders or slow cookers. Nice to have trash bags and leftover saran wrap, napkins but nothing else like spices and oils. House was clean but needs a deep clean. Very musty smelling even when opening silverware drawer. Nice shower. Couple of things could be improved/changed is bringing your own sheets and towels. For the amount we paid this should of been included. We did appreciate the two kitchen towels. I have never stayed at a cottage in MI where we had to bring these items but I understand it is easier not to have to do laundry. Although the service fees where over $600.

Another Perfect Week at Big Platte Lake

We just love coming to this quaint little cottage on Platte Lake. It’s clean, cozy, and a reasonable drive to Frankfort, Empire, and Glen Arbor. While the home does have air condition, the shade of the maples and cedar trees allow a cool breeze to move through the home on a hot day. The kids spent hours in the lake and the water was warm enough to swim every day. Special thanks to Susan for sharing this gem of a place with us again for our summer 2023 vacation!

Bitzy, buggy, billowy with beautiful sunrises…

Small, well loved and used cabin. Inside- clean and fairly well furnished. Furniture and appliances dated, gas fireplace non functional. Water heater needed repair while we were there. Owner took care of problem Immediately. West side of lake inundated with black flies 9/17-24) - made lakeside fun buggy. Sunrises were spectacular.
