This house was everything we were looking for in a Fall weekend getaway. We enjoyed kayaking, a beautiful sunrise, family game time in the screened in porch and even met a friendly squirrel and cat. The owner was very accomodating and responsive to communication.

We had a lovely stay at the cabin. The front porch is perfect for a relaxing moment of peace. There is a long staircase to the lake, but the clear, calm waters are worth the hike. The house is well stocked with games and activities for families. There is a large front yard as well.

We enjoyed the kayaks and fire pit. The screened in porch was nice to sit in and look out at the lake. The one drawback was the 79 steps to the dock. We got lots of exercise this weekend!!

An ideal place to getaway and enjoy the best of Michigan - cottage, lake, and the quiet closeness of nature! The cottage is clean and spacious with amazing views of Big Whitefish Lake and is close to GR and BR, and easy runs to grab groceries, etc. Ideal rental for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing vacation - just wonderful!

Weekend stay

We had an enjoyable stay and the accommodations were fine. We would recommend adding some lamps to the living room. The room was very very dark and the overhead fan lights were insufficient. Check in and check out were easy and the lake was beautiful.
