Wonderful Week at Cedar Bend cottage!

The house was beautiful, and perfect for a large family - Mom and Dad, four adult kids, and 4 grandkids. Wrap around deck was lovely, very spacious and so well equipped! Beautiful Lake Michigan setting, perfect sunsets, beach walking, star gazing (considerate host even alerted us to the Northern Lights sightings!). Hope to come again next year.

Peasant stay in a beautiful location

For the price, this house worked out well for our group. Plenty of space for 12 people, and located in the woods so it feels isolated even though neighbors are quite close. We spent tons of time on the beach and in the lake. Water is shallow here so great for kids (bring water shoes!) The house is older and has some deferred maintenance issues, but nothing that interfered with our trip.

Like a Dream

The cottage was even larger than we expected, and the location was fabulous! The rooms were comfortably furnished. The deck was great for eating outdoors, and the beach was amazing! Our only complaint is that we wished we could have stayed longer! :-)

Beautiful Getaway

My family and I enjoyed our stay and plan to visit again next year. The owner gave clear instructions and was responsive to all the questions I had. We spent a lot of time at the beach/firepit area which is lovely. The steps leading down to the beach can be dangerous at night and would recommend solar lights at least at the bottom of the steps. All things considered, we had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again in the future.

Great house on the beach

Three siblings and their families and their mom stayed at the house which is located in a wooded setting on the beach. Everyone was able to spread out between the two floors so we did not feel crowded. Five kids, ages 6-13, LOVED the loft above the garage. It is a very large room above the garage filled with several beds. (It is listed as being above the garage (which it is) but i thought it was a separate building from the description. The loft is part of the house and has a separate staircase leading to it.) The kids loved having a separate area to themselves. The beach was nice and spacious and you could walk down the beach in both directions. The beach was sandy but the lake had rocks in it. If that bothers you, bring water shoes. The kayaks were a lot of fun. The neighbors we encountered were very friendly. Legs Inn down the street has a huge backyard with a guitarist singing jimmy buffet type songs. The Goodhart General Store has delicious cookies.
