This is the second time we have stayed at this house. Both times there has been great communication with the host, the property has been very clean, and it has been a very pleasant place to stay.

Great location & abundance of inside/outside space

Great quiet location on Canadian Lakes with quick access to grocery store, dining and sports/golf. Listing & pictures does not do the amenities and bed/bathrooms justice!

Great Golf & Lake Getaway

We had a wonderful trip - very clean, great location, helpful communication, and probably the best stocked VRBO we have encountered to date. This large family cottage was exactly what we were hoping for over the 4th of July holiday. Highly recommend a pontoon rental if you plan to do any swimming or fishing. Close to several acclaimed golf courses and other amenities.

Our host, Kirsten, was excellent. She responded quickly and our check-in was a breeze. The house was beautiful and well stocked. The backyard was very large for a lake front home and that allowed our grandchildren plenty of room to play outside. We wouldn't hesitate to rent a house from our host again. Thanks for a great Memorial Day weekend.

Relaxing property

Wonderful property with great views. Was not good for swimming or fishing. The property did meet our group needs for this year. Well stocked and clean when we arrived. We would stay here again.

Gem at Canadian Lakes

I’ve been coming to Mecosta for almost 40 years and renting homes for about 10. This home and host are absolute gems. My entire family had space and wants to rent here again. The host is kind and organized. We loved our stay!

Delightful stay in traditional cottage

Our stay in this traditional cottage was delightful. We rented it to participate in a family reunion and had family on the lake. Views of the lake were very nice. Not good swimming at the cottage. Best feature was 3 king beds which is rare. Lots of room for our grankids with the bunk room upstairs.

We are very happy for the time you enjoyed at our lakefront home. Hopefully, you found your way to one of the nearby sandy beaches for swimming. Thank you for your feedback!
