Perfect Lakefront Cottage
The cottage was our home away from home for a week while visiting our cousin who is going to school at UM in Ann Arbor. The home is a short drive (25-30 min) from the Big House, so it was perfect for a UM football weekend. If you're looking for a quiet escape with EVERYTHING you could think to need for a week on the lake, this is it. Our family of 5 had an amazing trip out from CA. Can't wait to be back.

Perfect Lakeside Vacation Cottage!
This home is so charming and perfectly suited for a lakeside family vacation. We felt instantly at home. The kids (and adults!!!) loved the sandy beach and swimming area and we appreciated how safe and easy it was to watch them have fun! Two fridges, a fully stocked kitchen, a gas grill and a bonus downstairs kitchenette set us up for fun family barbecues and lakeside leisure. The home was well suited for small children - lots to enjoy (fairy houses! board games! Sand toys!) and sturdy/safe enough that we weren’t too worried. Dawn and Jim are very friendly and responsive hosts and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and more!!! We would definitely stay here again and would enthusiastically recommend!

Jim and Dawn ensured our stay was restful. They made every effort to accommodate our stay going that extra mile to o help us when our truck malfunctioned. A great effort, reasonable cost and great accommodations for anyone desiring a peaceful stay on a lake
