Perfect Michigan Summer

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!

Cute little cabin

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

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.

Peaceful Lake Getaway

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.

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!

Girls Weekend

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.

Great cottage for family

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.

Quiet and relaxing

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!!

Beautiful and relaxing retreat

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.

Weekend Lake Retreat

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.
