My family had a wonderful vacation in this beautiful home. The wooded surroundings provide privacy, and the short walk to Lake Michigan leads to a sandy beach that was never crowded.
The cabin was a great jumping off point for all kinds of fun adventures. Anything you can do in the water is just a short drive away. The cabin was clean and well appointed.
We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at the cabin in the woods. It was clean and cozy and well stocked. We definitely felt at home and the kids loved playing in the backyard. It was quiet and just what the doctor ordered for our time away from home.

Perfect Vacation
What a great time. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Lots of wildlife. Would definitely stay again. Thank You.
A wonderful house with plenty of space. The fish cleaning station came in handy for our salman charter. Great wooded area in the back with firepit. Very clean and comfortable. Everything as advertised. We would definitely stay there again!
My family and I had a wondering time. The house was clean cozy, and had an easy check in check steps. Beautiful scenery wild life everywhere.The host kept in contact with us the entire time.
The cabin was clean, had many ammities such as a firepit area, see saw, and many outside items for family to enjoy. Inside the well equipted cabin was lovingly decorated. Our contact, Robert was so helpful and always available.
My family and I loved this cabin! It was perfect for a relaxing vacation. There was plenty to keep us busy in the area with the beach just a short distance away and other attractions within a short drive. The fire pit in the back yard was wonderful for relaxing at the cabin and we enjoyed watching the deer come around in the morning. Our host was easy to contact and very accommodating. You will not be disappointed with renting this cabin for your next vacation.
We take a girls bike trip every year. This year we did the Hart Montague trail. The location of this home to the trailhead was good. Only a 5 minute drive. The home is wonderful. Very well appointed with all the kitchen accessories you need...even spices! The beds were fairly comfortable. The photos are a good depiction of the home. It is obvious that this home has been enjoyed for generations and we can see why. The beach is a short drive and beautiful. We enjoyed our stay and I am considering re-booking with my family and grandkids!

A great place to stay!!
We were very happy with the property and surroundings. Everything was as described and exceeded our expectations. Beautiful inside and outside, had everything you could possibly need. If this is a cabin, it is an extremely elegant one. Close to everything. We would stay there again. A very short walk to Lake Michigan, a stunning view. The owner was gracious, welcoming and very easy to contact. We definitely recommend this place! You won't be disappointed!

The Cottage
It was difficult to find the property since the numbers on the mail blended into the box. We were unhappy with the showers the way the water temperature went from very hot to ice cold. The towels and sheets were clean and nice. The deck and living spaces were
comfortable. The setting was relaxing and beautiful.
House with peaceful and quiet environment. The beach is near and the owner was very friendly.
Unfortunately, all my family got COVID after staying this house. Not sure if the house was fully disinfected each time. There are two bedrooms in the basement and we definitely felt the house should have a dehumidifier.
We paid $50 for firewood for our stay (3 night and 4 days) and you can buy firewood locally at much lower price.

Charming Cabin
We stayed at this very charming cabin on our recent fall trip to Michigan to visit family. From the moment we got there, we could see that were going to enjoy our stay! The cabin was perfectly nestled in the woods, it was quiet and the fall leaves were beautiful. The cabin was clean, and cozy. The kitchen had everything we needed along with a washer/dryer.
This was my elderly fathers first experience in a vacation rental and he love how we had all the comforts of home. Dad especially liked that there was a separate space down stairs where he could get up early, drink his coffee and watch the local news!
I own 2 vacation rentals of my own back home in Tx and I highly recommended anyone to stay here! It’s obviously the family that owns this cabin loves and cares for this property! Every detail is taken care of with many extra like the option to have fire wood on site upon arrival so you don’t have to venture out and find it. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are planning on coming back in Aug of 2023 so we can enjoy the lake this time!
This was a great location and comfortable property. Close to Silver Lake and Michigan adventures. Everyone had a great time, the property was clean and kept nice. I would recommend this property for anyone, especially families.
Great lake cabin located a few minutes away from Lake Michigan. Very convenient to Medbery Park. Outside is a nice yard, lots of woods, fire pit, see saw, swings, etc. Good porch for sitting. There are neighbors but they are a reasonable distance away and were quiet and the street it is located on was very light traffic. Inside has been redone and is good quality. Not Ritz-Carlton nice mind you, but really nice for a Lake Michigan lake cabin. Plenty of seating around the house, plenty of dishes/cups available, was a good size for a family of five who like to have some space. Good location for seeing the Whitehall/Montague/Muskegon area. Owner was accessible and I'd stay here again if I'm ever in the area.
We had a wonderful time with our family and friends at the cottage.
Our host made us feel welcome and was easy to communicate with via texting.
The outside is great, specially for the kids, with playground equipment, very spacious and a beautiful wooded area.
The house is well equipped and very comfortable and clean.
We also enjoyed exploring the twin towns of Montague and Whitehall.
Highly recommend the place and would love to come back.
It was a great eight days! The property was perfect and the location fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are hoping to stay there again sometime next summer! Thank you Rob for your hospitality and sharing your beautiful cabin with us!
We had a wonderful time! The place was charming and the area is beautiful. My teens had such fun at the beach and fishing off the channel. We would love to come back again to this spot.
Many thanks!
