We had a wonderful time

Our family went to stay in Curtis for a wedding. We didn’t have a lot of time to enjoy all the amenities of the cottage, but it was nice to have them for an option. The place was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Trish was easy to communicate with, and we would definitely stay here again.

Lakeview getaway

It's nice tucked away and very quiet place to stay. Clean and newly redone it appears. Great for a peaceful getaway or kayaking and seeing local upper peninsula sites.

Are stay was really good. This is a great base location to check out the UP of Michigan. Had a great time and the house was nice. Only drawback was it was the hottest week of the year up there and the house doesn’t have AC. Most of the time it is not necessary in northern mi. Everything else was great.

Great stay, beautiful property, and fun lake!

We had a great relaxing stay here--the lake was beautiful, the dock was so nice. The kayaks were a huge hit (but bring life jackets!) and the house was perfect. My kids really loved the fireplace and the TV with streaming services too. Games on the table was a wonderful extra touch. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful Home

We had a lovely stay on the lake. On the property we saw all kinds of wonderful wild life including hummingbirds, deer, and turkeys. The view of the lake is peaceful and the sunsets are very pretty. The night sky was gorgeous with a zillion stars. We spent a lot of time out and about but could have easily spent the whole week on the deck. One warning though the walk down to the water is very steep. It makes for a lovely view but is not fun to walk up or down for grandma.

Exceptional lake side home and hosts .

Our experience couldn't have been better. No hassle check in, beautiful clean home, super comfortable beds, modern appliances and a superb view of lake. Trees screening the borders of the property provide privacy, The wrap-around deck provide lots of room for lake watching and having an on site laundry is a great convenience. We did laundry while we played pool. The village of Curtis is picturesque and friendly,the locally owned stores provide most essentials and a Dollar General is a mile and a half away. It would be hard to find a better U.P. getaway or more accommodating hosts.

Comfy, Cozy and Welcoming

Let me just begin by saying the photos do not do this rental justice. It’s so much cuter in person and just perfect. Everything was clean. There is a relaxed/inviting feel to the decor that makes you feel at home once you enter. There were lots of little extras since the photos were taken that didn’t go unnoticed and were appreciated. The view of the lake is priceless. The owner and host were both very friendly, welcoming, easy to deal with and took time to respond to our questions about snowmobiling and ice fishing in the area. We hope to make this an annual weekend. Highly recommend renting (just not my weekend – LOL).
