Great cottage and beach!

The cottage was very clean and perfect for our families vacation. We had to cut the trip short due to a huge storm. Owners were very easy to get ahold of and great with communicating and working with us. We hope to be back another time! We loved the location as we were not too far from Grand Rapids.

Comfortable, Clean, Immaculate, lots of amenities

Perfectly clean, perfectly comfortable. Highly recommend. We loved the sandy entrance to the lake, we went swimming and fishing almost everyday. We were very comfortable in the lake house and enjoyed the vast number of amenities. Lots of space to hang out inside or out. We especially enjoyed the shaded chairs on the beach. We rented a pontoon boat and it was super easy to tie up to the dock for the week. We would definitely stay again. It was perfect! Lots of magical fireflies :-)

Beautiful home and private beach!

Unfortunately, our stay was cursed with bad luck as Grand Rapids and surrounding area including Ada, had some of the worst air quality in the world during our stay. This was a very unusual circumstance due to Canadian wildfires. So we didn't get to fully utilize this VRBO. BUT, I can still attest to the great setup, preparation, and accommodations that are offered here. Karen communicated great throughout. My wife and I hope to try again in the next summer or two to get better use of the beach next time!

Pure Michigan

The house was very clean and had pretty much everything and anything you would need. We cooked all of our meals the entire time we stayed (six days). I would recommend this property for a couple or family who is looking for a place they can stay and not feel compelled to drive into town often. If you are looking for a “pure Michigan” relaxing getaway, this is a GREAT spot.
