The house was very nice and the lake view was amazing! Front of the house could use some work. Did have an ant problem told the host so hopefully they can take care of it. I would definitely stay there again!

Winter Weekend

The house is a great lake front house. We were here over a long winter weekend and so didn't make much use of the large screened in porch but did enjoy the beautiful views of the lake (and eagles in the trees out front).Host was easy to work with and responsive to all questions. Check in was super easy.

Great place to stay

I was impressed with all the things not mentioned in the listing! They had a PS4 my 7 year old played. A toddler bed, also a foam bumper to put on the queen bed if you wanted to cosleep with your little. Toys for my toddlers. Fishing rods for my 7 year old. I brought life vests but they had them there. High chair and pack n play if you have a baby. The stairs up from the lake were a workout but it helped tire my kids out. I have a 1, 2 and 7 year old and I definitely think it was well suited for all age groups, even just adults with no kids. The water is shallow around the dock which was nice with littles and made fishing easier. The bath tub is HUGE which my kids love. Overall it was a great place to stay, and I honestly have no complaints.

Whitefish Lake

Cottage was roomy, with a huge screened porch that is shaded by trees, but still provides a nice view of the lake. There is a very nice dock and a neighborhood swim platform with diving boards. The playroom downstairs has a video game player for kids. Lake is crystal clear.

Short vacation

Overall, great place and location. Note that there is no a/c. House is right on the lake, which is clear. Dock is newer. Rowvoat and 2 kayaks, life vests, toys, all available. Inside very clean. Outside could have used a hose down (covwebs). Would stay here again, we enjoyed it!

Relaxing stay on the lake

This was our second time renting this house. Beautiful location that is conveniently located to Lake Michigan and Grand Rapids. Quiet neighborhood and surprisingly not a huge amount of boating activity on the lake, so you don’t have a constant noise of power boats. The owners are very responsive. Highly recommended.

Paradise!

My family & I rented the cabin for a little family fun before the rat race of the school year begins. As soon as we walked through the door, everyone said, “Wow!” at the view. The lake is simply stunning! We enjoyed using the kayaks provided and had a blast jumping off the diving boards. My son & I even trotted down to the lake our first night to view the meteor shower. The stars were amazing! For the most part, everyone slept well. Please note that the bedroom that faces the lake has a thin mattress, but the other beds have the standard size.

Wonderful!

Beautiful lake home in a peaceful setting. Only 2 miles from the wedding we attended nearby. The house was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We enjoyed the kayaks on Big Whitefish Lake, which is clear and has a sandy bottom. The house is well-equipped, and the screened-in porch looking over the lake is fantastic. Excellent bird-watching, and our dog loved the place too! Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you, Patricia!

Fantastic Getaway

We had a wonderful time this past week at this lakehouse! It was very quaint and had all the amenities we needed. All the beds were very comfortable, the screened in back porch was fantastic during the morning and evening, and although there is no central air, the attic fan and ceiling fans keep the main living space quite comfortable considering we had a couple of 90 degree days. The men went golfing twice at nearby golf courses and gushed how fantastic Pilgrim Run golf was. The 80 stairs down to the lake were kinda rough, but the dock and lake made up for that. We had a great time playing in the lake, hanging out around the firepit at nighy, using the kayaks and just the peace and calm of the area. The only thing we wish it had was a small beach. You walk down the stairs to the dock and water. A small beach area would be nice but that didn't dampen our fun time and we would highly recommend this rental. The owner Patricia was quick to respond when we had questions and we appreciated that!

Weekend stay

We had an enjoyable stay and the accommodations were fine. We would recommend adding some lamps to the living room. The room was very very dark and the overhead fan lights were insufficient. Check in and check out were easy and the lake was beautiful.

Christmas Blowout after a death in the family.

The tragic death of my son over the summer prompted me to throw a huge Christmas for his children. The house was perfect for it. I brought Xmas decor and a tree, and the place looked great with it up. Bring your cameras, and fishing gear. We saw a bald eagle fishing right in front of the cottage and kingfishers trillin all over the place. My sons didn't bring a boat but cant wait to fish the lake.
