The Best of Briggs Lake

This place is amazing and a great reason to visit the area. It was THE perfect place to stay. Lakefront, with million-dollar views. Quiet neighborhood with walking/jogging trails. The studio is well-appointed with a comfy bed, comfortable furniture, full kitchen with mini fridge and freezer. Full-size W/D tucked in the bathroom. Great wifi and ample amount of TV channel selections. Plenty of towels including beach towels. Stand-up paddle boards and two kayaks. What a wonderful way to start or end the day. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows and sipping wine around the bonfire too. Had our breakfast on the deck. Close to Brighton for supplies or a meal. Be sure to stop at Clean Slate for a unique experience of homemade ice cream flavors. My husband and I agree, that this cottage will be our go-to when visiting Michigan. Thank you, Daniel, for opening your cottage to us. Until next time.

Wonderful lake cottage, beautifully decorated! We enjoyed our stay so much, as we were able to relax on the deck and at the lake front fire pit. Catching a lot of fish and the paddle boards also added to the fun. Thank you again to the property owners for sharing a slice of their paradise! GO BLUE!
