This place was absolutely perfect for us! My kids loved playing in the water and catching countless fish off the docks. We were close enough for day trips to surrounding attractions, and far enough off the beaten path to enjoy the peace and quiet. The house was well taken care of and very comfortable. It was a perfect week enjoying a perfect taste of Michigan Summer!

The owner has really done a nice job decorating and making the cabin feel homey. Sutherland Lake is just steps from the deck. Great view of the lake.

Thank you for your stay. We like our guests to feel comfortable and relaxed in our vacation property. Being close to the lake is one of many bonuses. You're welcomed back anytime when you're back in Michigan.
We arrived mid-week when there were no neighbors so everything was quiet. It was perfect for us! Leisurly kayak rides on the lake in the early morning, watching the Loons throughout the day.

Thank you for your stay. I'm glad you enjoyed the kayaks.
This is a cute waterfront cottage. Very clean inside. The kayaks and paddleboat were great to use. The waterfront srea is not very swimmable. Its sandy for a few feet then you have a ron of lilly pads. Overall a great stay.
Cabin was very cute, it ended up being just me and my 9 year old daughter. Cabin as perfect for just the two of us, my daughter loved the paddle boat and kayaks and lots of fishing. Cabin was small but had what we needed, swimming was ok but we went down the road to really swim and play at a a beach at the state park. Ended up being a great getaway

Glad to hear you caught lots of fish. Sutherland lake is a hot spot for fishing, especially pike and Bass. Glad you all had a great time.
We stayed here to celebrate our anniversary. We loved decor and the comfortable furniture. Went kayaking and fishing with the rowboat/trolling motor. Caught some nice bass and blue gills and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was obvious that the owner takes pride in this property! I would definitely recommend!

Thank you Steve.
I glad you and your wife enjoyed your stay. It would wonderful if you could send some of the great pictures you and your wife took. Your more than welcome to come back and stay anytime.
We grew up going up north to our grandparent's cottage on Sutherland Lake. Now our sister owns Grandma's cottage and we came for a visit. We loved staying within walking distance to the family cottage and having enough space for everyone. We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage with us.

Thank you for staying at our Cottage. You are more than welcome to come back and stay. I only wished you had better weather.
Nice time together with family. The area was quiet and welcoming. We enjoyed the paddle boat and grilling outside. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and more.
The beds were not as comfy as we hoped for. The water is very hard so we were happy that we brought several gallons of water to drink.
Overall a nice place to stay.
My husband and I stayed at this property for a long weekend. The property was extremely clean and well-equipped. We have two dogs and they had a great time! The weather was perfect and the lakehouse was so comfortable and cozy. There are great little eateries and shops in the community. There is a fabulous park with a lake that we visited, just a few minutes away from our place. We will definitely come back next fall!

I glad you had a wonderful time and enjoyed all the amenities. Your more than welcome to come back anytime.
The owner was friendly and very responsive. The property was as described. The cottage was clean and the overall property was well groomed. Close to stores and local restaurants. Location on the lake was very peaceful and had nice views. I personally didn't feel the waterfront was swimmable but I am pretty picky; kids would probably easily jump in! Overall a great stay not too far from home. We had a great time.

I'm glad you had a nice relaxing time. I'm glad you enjoyed the peaceful and tranquility surroundings. The lake is spring fed and is treated on a regular basis.
Adorable Place Perfect for a MI Lakefront Get-a-way
I booked this place a while back for fourth of July weekend as we are always stuck at home and wanted to be somewhere on the water for a change of pace! This cabin is absolutely adorable and served my husband and I, and our family members perfectly for the holiday weekend. The property owners let you use the kayaks, paddle boat, and fishing boat which I really appreciated and the amenities in the house were perfect. I also really appreciated the A/C Unit and large fridge as we brought up a lot of food so we had plenty of room to store it. Sutherland Lake itself was very enjoyable - the water was warm, the neighbors were friendly, and the property has great views of the lake. Would definitely book again in the future!

I'm glad you and your family enjoyed your stay and all the amenities . You couldn't have asked for better weather.
You and your family are more than welcomed back anytime.
If you are looking for a quiet (not active) lake, this lake is for you. The house was cute, but needed some TLC. Its location on the lake was not ideal, lots of vegetation in the surrounding water, not ideal. Our weather for the weekend was not good, so maybe if it had been better the lake would have been more lively? Overall, if you are looking for quiet and minimal water activities, this would suit you.
We loved the quiet atmosphere and neighborhood but there was building going on next door that was constant noise and pounding the entire day. We wish we would have known that and wasn’t a good time to go. Landlord was great and the beds need new mattresses. Lots of dirty dishes and unorganized kitchen. We still enjoyed it and would recommend to friends. Thanks Julia for your kindness.

I'm sorry that there was construction being done next door and I understand that its annoying when your looking for peace and quiet. I glad you still were able to enjoy the surroundings
This Harrison cottage was the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of life! Everything you could possibly need for a stay at the lake. Though we didn’t use it, there’s access to a fishing boat with motor, kayaks, cornhole, and board games. The neighbors passing by boat were pleasant, smiling and waving - one even talking fishing with my husband as he was on the dock with his pole.
Thank you for allowing us to spend the weekend in your house. And for also finding our kindle and ear bud prior to us even realizing it was missing and offering to mail them. I appreciate it!!

Thank for choosing our cabin.
We're glad you enjoyed your stay. I'm glad you enjoyed the peace and tranquility away from the hustle and bustle.
Beautifully decorated house right on the lake. We loved the deck and being only steps from the lake. They provided 2 kayaks which were fantastic to paddle around the lake or fish from. Good place to fish but the lake is very shallow. If you are looking for a quiet, laid back retreat this house is perfect. This would be a 5 star house if there were a few upgrades. There is sulfer water and we chose to bring in bottled water to drink. Also, I would suggest upgraded mattresses on the beds in the double bedroom. The master bedroom mattress was comfortable. I would definitely stay again as this is an adorable cottage with friendly neighbors in a quiet location.

I'm glad you enjoyed fishing and the use of the 2 kayaks. The fishing is great. 2 years ago I caught a 33 inch Northern Pike Ice fishing. I will be hanging in the Cottage with an unbelievable story of how it was caught. Thank you for the review. You and your family are welcomed back anytime.
The cottage was incredibly charming and cozy. Our 12-year-old kids had a blast with the paddle boat and boat with electric motor. I personally enjoyed the kayaks. While the lake offered stunning views, swimming wasn't ideal due to a mucky bottom, although the owners maintain a sandy area.
We nearly canceled our trip due to a last-minute lack of a dog sitter, but the owner kindly allowed us to add our dog to the rental without charging the usual pet fee.
My only issue was that the toilet took a while to refill after flushing, so if multiple people used the bathroom in quick succession, it wouldn't flush promptly.
Again, the cottage was very clean and even though we did not have the best of weather, we enjoyed our stay very much.

What makes this property unique
I saw so much potential with this house and being in an Up North Rural Area, surrounded with woods and just steps from the Lake was an added bonus. I envisioned myself sitting on the large deck facing the Lake drinking my coffee in the morning. In the evening sitting around a Bonfire talking about the good ole' days.
