The cottage had everything we needed for a short stay. We made good use of the kayaks, the spacious yard, the deck, the game room (garage), and the fire pit. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of towels and TP in the bathrooms. That said, there are a few things to note: 1) The kidâs cove is only accessible by going outside and up an exterior staircase. Thatâs great for teens maybe, but our 10 and 7 year-olds werenât comfortable staying there at night, plus no bathroom. 2) The main floor bedroom is pretty tight with the queen bed and no closet, which most of the time would be fine but we had someone with mobility issues. 3) Definitely more forks and spoons needed.
All the extra water toys made this a very enjoyable stay. The beautiful outdoor space was great for yard games and just hanging out. The ability to walk out the door and fish, kayak and paddle board add a great value to this property. The one piece of cool feedback is that the listing should be updated. I was prepared to leave shoes off and make sure my family did as well as the listing requested as the carpeting was new. Upon arrival, the carpeting was not new. I spent an hour cleaning the flooring and couch.
We had a great time, plenty of room for our big family of 8. Great location, loved using the yard games and kayaks (the game room was fun too) The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed for cooking each day - having the grill available was nice too.We brought our own pontoon boat, so the dock to tie up was perfect, plenty of parking and fun at the campfire each night.The house desperately needs a good clean - power washing the outside and cleaning off the deck furniture, sweeping the deck and cobwebs, washing the windows, fixing the slider door would go a long way. Thank you for the great stay!
First our regulars: Coffee- drip w filter and single cup. Internet- great! Space for separation between subs and spouses - SO much space. Everybody wanted to hide in the loft room. Pets
Location of this cabin is nice and quiet! Itâs a nice neighborhood and area of the lake was convenient. The extra space above the garage was nice for the preteens. Beds were overall comfy and bathrooms were nicely updated! It is a cabin so keep that in mind, as this is not a brand new, sparkling clean place. A nice power wash and deep clean would be nice but it didnât affect our stay! The boat was a nice addition and we did use it to take a little ride around the lake.
Enjoyed the great location and house. Has an amazing lot on the canal with Kayaks and fishing. Nice bedrooms, comfortable beds, recently renovated bathrooms. Enjoyed use of the grill, outdoor seating and fire pit. Took several nice hikes in Manistee Forest and found a couple nice spots to eat. Bob has a great host and easy to communicate with.
The house was wonderful! Peaceful quiet neighborhood, access to kayaks and paddle boards, we rented the boat also and it was fantastic. The grounds were large the kids had lots of room for outdoor games and running around, fishing was amazing. My son in law caught his first fish ever! We absolutely loved this house.
Only thing i would change is the couch. I prefer leather for cleanliness easier to wipe down in between guest. Over all zero complaints. Bob the first responded quickly and we all enjoyed our stay. Bathroom in the additional room would be a incredible but not much you can do
The inside of the cabin was nice. The outside of the cabin was a little dingy. It needed some cleaning and repair. We rented a pontoon boat from the owner one day during our stay, but the key to it was hidden and the owner could not be reached until the early afternoon and so we lost half of the days use of it. The grounds of the place were good and the parking was adequate.
Stayed here with family for a wedding nearby. Had plenty of beds and space for extended family to sit and visit. Nice quiet neighborhood. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Overall a pleasant trip.
Spiders and Bees, Spiders and Bees, lots of spiders everywhere. Couldn't say how many spiders we killed. Bob was great to work with. Inside was nice and very comfortable. Beds were super comfy. The outside of the house could use a good power washing.
Amazing stay, very spacious and can accommodate A bunch of grown men on a yearly fishing trip, really enjoyed that it was on right on the canal and very comfortable patio furniture and awesome fireplace and the owner could answer any questions really fast through email and the best part was for a extra fee you could rent the pontoon boat he has to offer we will definitely book again next year for our annual fishing trip
