The location of this VRBO was excellent. The private beach area was charming, and having access to the kayaks was a wonderful bonus. It’s also conveniently located—just a 35-minute drive to Ludington, which made for a great day trip. Overall, a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway!

Wonderful cottage and location!

My husband and I spent a week at this cottage and we did not want to leave! The view from the living room is amazing. Even though you share a beach with four other homes, it doesn’t take away from the experience at all. The water was clean and we were so lucky that the weather was beautiful. The kitchen was fully stocked and we really enjoyed the deck. The hostess was great with any questions we had. We will be coming back for sure!

The cabin is cute and very clean sitting close to the beautiful warm lake. The kitchen was well stocked, including spices. Kayaks, floats, and several lawn games were provided. We enjoyed days of kayaking, floating, riding bikes, reading, playing yard games, bonfires and watching the boats go around. Very nice private area. We enjoyed our time there very much.
