Michigan Getaway
We had a lovely time. The home was very clean. The master bath was impressive! Cleaning people need to get under beds better, and when I stripped my bed before we left, I found a small vial of eye drops in the bedding. Wondered how it got there, since it wasn't mine....looked like a prescription. Plenty of dishes and silverware. They even had things in the refrigerator we could have used it we needed them. We enjoyed our stay.

Great, Family Friendly Spot!
We had a great short stay here to attend a family reunion on Dewey Lake. Place was super spacious, clean, and had all the amenities you would need. I also loved how family friendly it was. They have tons of toys and games and Disney+ was included on the tv. It was extremely helpful to also have a pack and play available! We will definitely keep this place in mind again when we visit Michigan in the future. Thanks for everything!

Short weekend stay
The house was comfy for our needs. Just wanted to decompress for a few days. For future renters the house is about 2-3 min walk around the corner and there is a small private beach area that you can access. Picnic tables and big shade trees are around so no need for beach umbrellas and you can drive there as there are public parking spots if you have coolers chairs etc. Steps with railing helps you walk into the shallow part of the lake and people just float around in this area and you can walk to the diving platform as the water isn’t deep. Water was so nice and there is a little bit of sandy beach which is more like a sandbox. Ray had all kinds of condiments; drip coffee maker with coffee & filters. They have water cooler for more filtered water but we brought our own water etc. Ceiling fans in 2 of the bedrooms. Nice updated master bath. I would recommend staying here and my friends said they’d bring their families back for a long weekend. Nice covered porch to drink your morning coffee.

When we got there they had obviously been doing some work to the home. The plaster ceiling was falling down in multiple rooms that I had to sweep up. The outdoor trash can had not been emptied and smelled so bad I had to move around back of house. The water smelled like rotten eggs - may need to change rod in water heater. Other than that it served its purpose.

Comfortable stay for family
The layout and accommodations were perfect for our family. The young kids especially loved all the lil kid elements that made it feel special (small table and chairs, play kitchen, lots of toys). They also lived panting in the sand at the park a short walk away. The adults loved the open and easy flow, updated master bath, and hosting touches.

Perfect spot to enjoy sisters lakes
Truly, this cottage was such a perfect spot for our family vacation! It was just a 3-5 minute walk to the beach, swimming spot, and pier which was enabled our kids to spend the whole day int the water while we just hopped back and forth to grab some more food. The swimming spot required a few steps into the water and was about 2 feet deep to start which was still low enough for my two year old to stand in and play. The cottage was clean, welcoming, charming, and stocked with the essentials and then a little more. We really appreciated all the kids stuff which made the kids enjoy the moments in between all the lake play! We’d definitely return.
