Can't think of a better spit for a Michigan lake side getaway

Fish camp has a wonderful spot on a smaller ( private feel) all sports lake. Rare to be able to combine those two settings. Also located next to the lakes dam, the gentle water fall sound adds to the relaxing experance of sitting by the lake and enjoying the lakeside view. The cottage is well stocked for all your daily needs and kept up well. Though we did not get to use it being that we were outdoors focused, the lower level has a wonderful game space with bar, pool table, foosball and more.

Long Weekend at Fish Camp

Fish Camp is a charming little cottage in a peaceful setting on the lake. The property owner was very responsive while booking our stay and flexible with allowing us to check-in early--much appreciate! We suspected we may have been the first to stay this season as the cottage smelled VERY musty when we first entered, and there wasn't shampoo, conditioner or body soap available in the second floor bathroom. We opened windows to air it out, and the musty smell dissipated within a few hours but it was disappointing to be hit with that when we walked in. The box of coffee K Cups in the pantry was completely empty. We made a quick trip to the store to pick up the missing items we needed for our stay. The property was clean and conveniently located to all the locations we needed to visit in West Branch for a family wedding, so, overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Great Stay!

We were blessed to have incredible weather for September, so we were able to enjoy this property about as much as you can in a short five days. The property and host are as advertised and more. Fishing, kayaking, hanging out in nature... what more could we have asked for? Thank you, Allen!

Vacation on the water

Clean, lots of room. Dinning room with a great view of the water. Relaxing atmosphere. Plenty of room outside. Close to town but not too close. Nice game room. I would book again.

Quiet & relaxing

We had a quiet & relaxing time overall. One of us has mobility issues so the stairs & step into the shower, and step down onto the deck were a minor issue (had to buy a step stool).

Best VBRO we have had

Our family vacation at "Fish Camp" was wonderful, blending comfort and adventure seamlessly. Nestled by a serene lake and dam, we caught many small fish, and explored the calm lake by kayak. So convenient having shopping & restaurants nearby. The cottage is itself was a cozy & clean, providinuneveryone.

Mom's Getaway

We really had a great time! We enjoyed the game room and it was close enough to the places we wanted to go. We did choose not to go swimming as the water didn't look very inviting. It is called fish camp though, not swim camp. Instead we drove to the beach. We enjoyed the kayaks and watching the wildlife outside. We were a bit surprised by the amount of goose poop in the yard. After a little clean up we had a clear path though. Having 2 bathrooms was a huge plus as well! We really appreciated that our host was very good about responding quickly when we had questions. We enjoyed our stay at fish camp.

Fish Camp was Great!!

We really enjoyed this place! Very clean, looked freshly painted , nice furniture, AC was much appreciated! The host thought of many details and supplies which made it very comfortable ! Kitchen was very well stocked. We loved the fishing -caught a big 20” pike right off the front grassy area! Kayaks were great, very close to golf courses. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Family Trip

Our group of 7 stayed for a week and we had so much fun. Even the non fishermen found plenty to do! The game room was a great way for the adults and teenagers to spend the evenings together. The lake is very peaceful and the house is very clean and comfortable.

Perfect fathers day getaway. Great grandpa and grandson fishing experience. Very comfortable setting with walkout patio between the basement and the stream. Nice place to hang out early and enjoy your coffee and some reminiscing. The table stream side is handy. Definitely awesome views of the lake and wildlife.
