This property is great! Has a private, sandy beach, nice area for swimming, and can fish right off the dock. We especially enjoyed the shady yard with a HUGE deck and comfortable furniture, picnic table, high table, rocking chairs and two different porch swings. The original cabin is still intact with knotty pine and fun retro furnishings for the "up north Michigan" vibe but the bathrooms are completely updated. The property has well water but just bring bottled water and all is good.
No matter how wonderful the venue, a restful night is key. Mattresses need replacing. Otherwise, the vintage appointments mixed with the modern remodel were delightful and reminded me of my childhood at a lake in the north woods. Loons, water and simplicity.
Beach and house were perfect. We enjoyed a nice relaxing week with our dog. Scott was very responsive and checked to make sure we had arrived and if everything was good and followed up afterwards. We would definitely stay there again.

Scott was easy to communicate with and quick to answer questions. We enjoyed the boats, the view and the relaxed feel of the home, deck and firepit area. It was perfect for many hours of relaxed reading. There was plenty of firewood and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. It was a great week!
If you live a beautiful lake and a fabulous deck this is yout place
Just driving up to the lake house is exiting. The street side of the house is very impressive. The entrance leads to a large breesway that is full of light and a great view if the expansive deck. We called the cottage "Pineview" or "Whispering Pines" because of dominating nature of their presents that enhances the total view experience. The main house is quaint. The maintenance of the original summer place feel is present and the collected decorations and momentis all add ti the vibe. Once out on the deck that never ends; you are engulfed in the expansive lake view. The nice new dock invites you down to the fire pit and beach. The peddle boat and row boat await aquatic adventures. We enjoyed ir stay very much. Beung older we would have liked a higher bed and we never got used to the well water but the negatives never out weighed the positives.
You want to unwind and relax, this is the place. Owner was fantastic with communicating. Having coffee on the patio overlooking the lake in the morning was the best. If you enjoy fishing it is great. Beautiful place. We enjoyed are stay very mich. We will be back!
This house was absolutely beautiful and the scenery and kayak and paddle boat and row boat came in handy . Love the little beach area and the hammock was awesome just laying on it. The only downfall was the water smell but bought bottle water. Other than. That is is totally amazing place to see and stay at. Beautiful deck all around the house. Will definitely come back here.

Everything as stated and so much more. Scott was very available for any and all questions. Very clean, beautiful environment. Yes, water does have a sulfurish smell but if you let it run for a minute it's not so bad and very tolerable. Do bring bottled water for drinking along with your towels and linens. If relaxing is what you are searching for this is it. Thank You Scott!!!
We drove for two days from Florida to get to this property and it was so worth it! The location alone on Lake George was perfect and the bonus of having the paddle boat and kayaks made it even better. I am a big fan of porch swings and to my delight there were 3!! The home had everything we needed and the owner,Scott was very quick to answer any questions we had and checked on us to make sure things were going well. One note-the water has a bit of a sulpher smell but we just used bottled water for drinking and cooking so it wasnât really an issue. Day trips to Traverse city and Mackinac island were easy to get to from this location. We also enjoyed the Lake George parade and Boat Parade for the 4th We most definitely would stay at this property again.
Had a wonderful time with my grandsons at lake george . The cottage met all our needs and was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The boys enjoyed the kayaks and bass fishing was great.
Our family stayed in this wonderful lakefront rental for the week of Aug.15th- Aug.22nd 2018. The house has an enormous wrap around deck, with sliding patio doors from the living room on the top floor. The views of the lake from the deck are amazing. The house sleep 7 easily and comfortably. All the personal touches in the home are great. A pullout sectional in the living room, very comfortable double beds in each of the 2 bedrooms and a twin also with the double bed in one of the bedrooms. I cannot even describe enough how much our family enjoyed the yard, complete with a bonfire pit by the lake, firewood was even provided! Scott let us use the row boat also with the paddle boat. We brought our 2 kayaks along too. The sandy swimming beach area was perfect and plenty of shallow feet for walking in and swimming for little ones. The lake gets gradually deeper at the end of the boat dock, for experienced swimmers. Also a floating dock to enjoy. Plenty of seating and lounge chairs to enjoy too, also a hammock in between the trees and a swing under the deck! The kitchen is perfectly equipped with everything for making a great meal and we also used the huge grill on the deck to cook out. It was a fabulous trip and we hope to return very soon!
Enjoyed our stay. Really nice deck and view of the lake. Beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. Wi-Fi was great to have for communications as there is little to no cell service in the area. Highly recommend the Swiss Inn at the other end of the lake for dinning. Food was great! Nice dock and beach area if you have children along. For the price its a great choice on the lake.
The owner was very helpful for any questions we had and kept in touch throughout the week.
I grew up coming to my grandparent's cottage on Lake George so I wanted to show my sons some nostalgia. This cabin had more than I was anticipating. My boys had SO MUCH FUN paddling the paddle boat around. This is on the quieter end of the lake so it was perfect. We brought kayaks and kayaked every morning before the boats came on at 11. Which was so nice that I didn't have to wake up early to be able to kayak before wake. Laying on the hammock reading my book while watching my boys fish off the dock was just heavenly. There are two nice wooden swings. There is one of those permanent islands not pictured here that the kids had a blast jumping off of. This is a perfect simple retreat. If you enjoy sleeping with the windows open and listening to the lake (I live in SC so I never get to leave the windows open in July) enjoying coffee on the balcony, fun in the sun on the sandy beach (which you can't see in the profile pic posted), then roasting smores around the nice built in fire pit...this place is for you!
We stayed a week and it was nice could of had better weather but made the best of it. Scott is very easy to work with. Thanks again for sharing this awesome place.
We were looking for a get-away, and we found it. We've already discussed going back next year. During the week it was quiet and the fishing was good. The holiday weekend came and watch out! There were boats and people everywhere. The cabin was just that, a cabin. It had everything we needed and totally met our expectations. It was really nice to have our own beach, raft and dock. It kept our personal space, well....personal. The owner was good to deal with and very fair.
There is little to no signal there, so if you are planning on texting and emailing your trip away, that won't happen.
Book it, sit back and enjoy!
This was our first trip to the area and we will be back. The cottage was well equipped and clean. Water was an issue so be sure to bring in lots of bottled water. :-) Loved the deck, loved the picnic table, loved the dock and the fire pit!!! Fishing was great and so was the swimming. Even though the houses were a little close for our liking we never had an issue. It was quiet and cozy. I was not sure what to expect when we arrived but it was an awesome week and we plan on a return trip next summer. Thanks for sharing your "HomeAway" from home with us!!!!
