perfect beach area and yard for games with the kids. Sitting area was a favorite , well shaded for my red heads and view of the lake. quiet lake overall but school had started this week. also has great neighbors and communication with the owners . Plenty of parking for 3 vehicles and a trailer. Great space for my family before we went back to school.

This property is just like the pictures— nicely furnished, beautiful views, and very clean. It’s located in a scenic farmland area and only 40 minutes to Grand Rapids, which we found handy. We spent a lot of time out on the back patio and by the lake, as well as cooking meals in the well-stocked kitchen. We would definitely stay again.

I'm sorry your stay was only 4 stars. When you rented you reserved it for 2 people, but you must have had a larger group as all 7 beds were used. We were not expecting such a large group as that was told to us before your stay.

The cute cottage was tastefully decorated with a beautiful view of the lake to wake up to. The cottage is quite roomy and the kitchen does have a lot of items to use.However, the master bedroom could use some room darkening shades for sleeping, and some kind of shelves or a dresser to set medications and personal items as their is no room in the bathroom either. The neighbor to the east of the cottage is hostile/toxic about anyone driving close to his drive way or touching his property line, even to retrieve a ball the kids were playing with. The filthy chickens that came around, and even up to the door begging for food were very off-putting. The earwigs, spiders and crickets in the basement were a nuisance. There must be something with the seal on the basement door, as we could see day light around it, possibly letting the bugs in. The patio furnitureis plentiful, however, some pieces are rusted with broken rings and the cushions are stained. There is a lot of boat traffic on the lake, not just on the weekends. The boats left for our usage need some maintenance and upkeep. The chain on the old paddle boat kept coming off. The aluminum boat leaked and the trolling motor left to use with the boat did not have any nuts to tighten it on to the boat. When we contacted the owner he stated we could just duct tape it onto the boat. Just not what we were expecting after reading the other reviews.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 August 2026
I am so sorry to hear that your experience didn't match that of other reviewers. This property is our personal cottage so we are always striving to make it a home away from home for everyone who stays there! We spray for pests several times over the summer months and have never seen stray chickens at the lake. I apologize that you had to deal with these pests during your stay. The lake is popular during summer months so boat traffic is unavoidable; however, we will take a closer look at our "fleet" to ensure everything is in working order. The patio furniture was new in 2025 - we left the old set out to provide additional seating for guests. I will be sure to remove the broken chair asap. Thank you for your other suggestions to make the lake house a desirable summer rental! We will be sure to consider these ideas for next year's season.
