House on the Lake

Cute house on the lake to relax in after spending the day on Mackinac Island. My son loved his bunk bed. Make sure to notice there is no AC. There are fans available but bedrooms did get warmer than we are use to as it was a very hot day.

Shawandasee Visit 9/13-9/16

Wonderful visit at Shawandasee on Brevort Lake! Excellent retreat, especially if you have children or grandchildren visiting. Three Season room has window access into bedroom with double bottom and single top bunk. Easy to have Adults relaxing, playing games or cards but still able to hear and respond to kids. Water is shallow and safe for children wading and swimming.

Fishing trip

My family has owned property on Brevort lake in northern Michigan for decades. I wanted to get a place to take friends. This house is on an end street with full view of the lake. It has an outstanding view with all the comforts. My guest’s were elated by their experience this week. Genuinely a five star experience.

Quite, peaceful and Relaxing

The cabin/cottage was extremely clean and comfortable. The yard was well kept with nice plantings. 2 nice size bedrooms. Kitchen was nicely equipped with most anything appliance you would need. Screened in 3 season porch was very nice for watching the sunset. The location was secluded but at the same time very accessible to the sites we wanted to visit. Only draw back was the weather did not cooperate for fishing, was extremely windy and rained several days.

Wonderful stay, beautiful views of sunsets … lake… and Milky Way!Cabin well stocked, dim lighting in bathroom (Women who put on eye makeup beware). And be Careful when getting out of tub!!My biggest worry was making sure that we were on time. There was a small window of time that we were expected to arrive (4-5pm). And on a holiday weekend made me nervous that we might have to call an after hours number which didn’t guarantee that anyone would be available to assist.And make sure you clean up after yourself before you exit, which is what responsible people do anyways.All in all it was a memorable stay.

Great quiet getaway location

House was nice, everything was just as described. Great porch to relax in at the end of a day and look out over the lake. House is very well maintained. First hour at the house we saw a bald eagle! Good central location to take short day trips to Mackinac island, tahquamenon falls, or soo locks.

Nice small home, a little remote

We enjoyed our stay. House is small but is perfect for a small family or a couple. It would be nice if they would add air conditioning. We stayed in mid September and it was still very stuffy in the house. It would also be nice if the lighting (especially) in the bathroom was updated. The neighbors are close and friendly but one of them had a very loud dog that barked in the middle of the nights waking us. You are on a large lake so they views were nice but it was a bit of a drive on a graveled road if you were going to go sightseeing or just needed to run to town. All-in-all a nice little place.
