Great stay!

Travelled with two young kids to the Great Lake house! I appreciated the close distance of the house to the lake and how shallow the water was. The water was warm and clear. Kitchen was great! Upstairs master bathroom looked like it had been remodeled with a nice walk in shower, toilet and vanity. The home had several box fans which was extremely helpful. The listing said it had a high chair but we could not find one. As a mom, my only suggestion would be to have some more kid proofing for the sliding upstairs windows and the front and back door. There was one baby gate here. The road is very quiet and not busy. Parking was great. Would definitely stay here again!

Lake Chemung

We love the lake and the view from the house. It was nice to have three kayaks. Our kids enjoyed the water. The beach is a little rocky, so water shoes would help. Parking for 3 Vehicles is good. The house is very comfortable and fairly well equipped. Our kids love the spinning white chair.

Great House

The house is much larger than the pictures show. 3 large bedrooms upstairs and a 4th downstairs with large dining room, kitchen and living room. The view is spectacular as it is right on the lake. Worked perfectly for our group. Owners are extremely responsive to everything. Would stay again if we needed to be in the area.

Family Holiday Trip

We booked this house as a last minute stay for the holiday. We had 3 adult siblings and our dad home for the holidays. This home was perfect for us! The bedrooms were spacious and everyone had their own designated place to stay since we used the sunroom as a bedroom. Everything in the kitchen was up to date which was really nice! Neighbors were super friendly and said hi to our dog as well. We loved staying here and hope to come back in the summer!

Return to Michigan Family and Friends

We had a 5 day stay in the cozy lake house on Lake Chemung. The house had a warm friendly vibe. It was clean and well appointed. We felt right at home. Five heron were frequent visitors, rabbits hopped about in the morning, and we saw deer, chipmunks, and a raccoon. The yard was big, the shore sandy, the dock sturdy and long. Our neighbors were friendly, but respectful of our space. I loved sleeping by the huge windows overlooking the lake. I kept the blinds open so I could see the lake at night. It was so peaceful. It was well within driving distance to Ann Arbor. Everything we needed was close by, yet we felt the peace of the lake, nature ambiance. Wonderful place. So thankful I chose it.

Family gathering

This lake cottage is where grandparents, adult kids, and grandkids chose to spend invaluable time together. We hope to return again. The kitchen and dining area were nice and had everything we needed. The living room was a little tight in space for our group, but we made it work for game nights. Two of the bedrooms with comfortsble beds were nice and large as we needed to put up pack n plays. It would be nice if there were twin beds added in the future so the grandkids don't have to share a bed in the those bedrooms. The third bedroom was a fine size for a couple, but the mattress was older and the bedframe springs were bouncy. We mainly all shared the one bathroom downstairs since that was the floor level that we spend most of our time, where the shower was and the regular sized bathrub needed to bathe the kids ages 7 and under. The bathroom upstairs had a large jet tub with no shower and was inside one of the bedrooms. We enjoyed the outside area, playing in the shallow water and in the large yard. There wasn't much of a sand area for the toddlers to play in. We did not use the kayaks, but a good idea to have. The manager and her daughter were great when we had a question and were very quick to respond. We liked this cottage, enjoyed our stay there and hope to return there.
