Scenic, Quiet, Outstanding Fishing

The home is located on a scenic channel with direct access to Mitchell Lake. Everything in the owners description is accurate. He was very responsive when I had questions and very pleasant to deal with. This is perfect for a small family. There is a queen bed in one room and 2 sets of bunk beds in the other. I would definitely stay here again. The fishing is outstanding.

Place was clean. There was an issue with the oven not working and the owner called immediately. Check in and out was simple. There is not a cleaning fee because he has you clean the house entirely before you leave. Kitchen was well stocked.

Quiet and pleasant area

We spent two enjoyable weeks at the “Yellow Perch” on Lake Mitchell. Easy to get to and easy to get to Cadillac, Mi. Many restaurants available. Would recommend the “13th street grill and The Timbers restaurant. The Yellow Perch has a great back yard view along with grill, fire pit, and access for boating. There is a launching ramp about a mile away and there are docks in the back yard. Quiet area and a great area for walking. The Kitchen was well supplied. Only reason we didn’t give it a 5 is the living room is dark and we recommended to the owner that more light should be made available, which he agreed to do. We hope to be able to go back in 2025.

We enjoyed being right on the water and having a boat dock for our boat. Kitchen was nice. We made a fire out by the water and had somores. We had our kids that lived in Cadillac over and I fish with a grandson several times. Places to pickup bait or fishing supplies and gas or groceries were close by. We saw some deer and other wild life. Good week away.

2022 Fall Trip

House was as advertised. Great location. Comfortable stay and quiet setting. Nice and friendly neighbors. Fall colors were awesome. Had fun in the water with the watercraft supplied. Downtown was not that far away so we enjoyed some good food too. Dewayne was always in communication and everything went smooth and easy with check-in and out. Love the area. Will be back up there for sure.
