We had a wonderful stay in Cooks, Michigan. The location was perfect, peaceful and close to everything we wanted to explore in the UP. The home was very clean, cozy, and well equipped with everything we needed. You can tell a lot of care goes into maintaining the place. The views were beautiful and made it easy to relax and unplug. We felt right at home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Great location, beautiful sunsets on the water, all of the amenities, and a stocked kitchen. This was our second winter weekend renting this cabin and we will definitely be back! The backyard is perfect for dogs who love the snow We came back from an afternoon trip and the driveway and walkway/porch had been shoveled and plowed. Just wonderful. One of our favorite rentals in the UP!

Sunset Beach House was beyond our expectations. It is a beautiful setting and had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving stay. We enjoyed the fire pit on the beach and appreciated that it is pet friendly. The home was very clean. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. The host was very responsive. We hope to return in the future!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, however there was an ongoing problem with the septic system that delayed one of our day trips. I wish there was a phone number that you could call in case of an emergency.

Great place to stay as it was central to all we planned to see. Very beautiful scenery. If I was to change anything I believe I would add curtains at west windows. The setting sun shown through making it difficult to see. Definitely not a deal breaker. Looking forward to booking again with Vrbo.

The cabin was comfortable and cozy. The weather was typical for Michigan, variable, LOL! We had plenty of opportunities to explore the area and enjoy all that the cabin had to offer. We wish the conditions were more favorable to enjoy the outdoor features of the cabin. I guess we’ll just have to make a return trip!

Lovely cabin. It had everything we needed and is centrally located to different sights and restaurants. Beautiful view too, very peaceful. Only negative for me is that the water is too shallow to swim, but this was easily resolved by going to Roger’s Beach, which I highly recommend and is not that far away. Host was very helpful with my questions and very prompt with responses.

Great stay! The cottage is cozy and had everything we needed for our long weekend! Water was amazing - shallow with sandbars sprinkled in for hundreds of feet out! The kids (14, 12, 10 & 8) loved exploring, kayaking, going for a walk in the water and swimming. Our host, Heather was very responsive to any questions I had.Highly recommend - we will be back!

Awesome lakefront property, huge spacious cabin, amazing view of the lake, (lake is a giant wading pond - very shallow for about 50 yards - great for kids)Kitchen and grill were decent. AC was good.Only drawback was the bathroom and the water - no ventilation in bathroom, and there was a noticeable smell after taking a shower

Very Enjoyable

Our stay at the Sunset Beach Cottage was very good. The cottage is well stocked with kitchen ware, furniture, towels and linens as advertised. The furniture was comfortable and the tv/internet were excellent. The cottage was clean and the check in and check out processes were reasonable and efficient. The sunsets were great. The lakeshore and lake are best for small children. The lake is shallow for hundreds of yards out from shore. This is better for walking in the water than for swimming or kayaking. The cottage is adjacent to the highway, but the yard on the lake side is large and allows some privacy along the very large water frontage. The well water has very high mineral content, typical of this area. We found the well water worked well for showers and laundry, however, we purchased water for drinking and cooking.In total our stay was very enjoyable and we are considering a return visit in the future.

Fantastic Family Vacation!

This cottage is perfect for a family beach vacation. The beach and shoreline is gradual entry and very shallow - so it was ideal for young kids to explore. The cabin was clean, spacious, and well equipped with everything we needed. The sunsets we saw, nearly every night, were stunning. Overall, this property is excellent for anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation away from the crowds.

This is a nice cabin with a fabulous view. Our only problem was finding the cabin. My GPS wasn't accurate. I ended up sending a message to the host who within 5 minutes called me. With his help we were able to find the cabin within 10 minutes.
