Beautiful experience

We loved our stay at this home because it felt just like that…a home! It had everything we could have needed and more! But the view and the swans were my favorite…that and the kayaking! Would stay here again in a minute!

We had a great time meeting our Canadian friends for a Friendsgiving. And the house was perfect for our trip. My daughter had a great time watching the swans.

Amazing Lake House!

Our long weekend at Lazy Days Waterfront Cottage was amazing. The cottage was exactly as described. We were able to watch the swans in the lagoon. The neighborhood was very nice. The beds were very comfortable and the very thing was very clean. The area is great. It is close to restaurants and shopping.

Nice Lake House - Beautiful Views

My adult daughter and I stayed here while visiting family in the area. Wow, the view when you walk in is beautiful! Our stay was very comfortable with good beds and a well-appointed kitchen. It was peaceful and pastoral because of the quiet lake and neighborhood, swan family, geese, turtles and jumping fish to watch from the large deck. We loved it and would rent it again. I recommend it!

College Hockey

This property offered all the amenities of home. It was a cozy place to stay while visiting our son that has moved to Michigan to pursue college while continuing a sport he loves..Hockey! The property could use an updated coffee maker, and sink facets. The beds were very comfortable.

Family getaway for Michigan Football game

There were some positives and some negatives, House inside was accurate as pictured. It was fully stocked with supplies more than most VRBOs we have been to. Beds were comfy but after a day of traveling I didn't expect to have to make 2 of the 3 beds and put sheets on. Isn't this what the housekeeping fee is for? Outside was just ok considering on the lake, the yard was unusable to walk on without completely trashing your shoes. Not the best to walk out to have a fire or even get to the dock to fish or enjoy as it seems that it is constantly soaked from the overflow of the lake. Parking is just enough for 1 vehicle so if you have more than one vehicle I didn't see an option to park 2 cars. The bathroom and kitchen sink faucets need some looking into as they spray all over when used.

A super comfy and well-appointed cottage

NOT THE OWNERS’ FAULT, but there had been a serious flooding of the lake - that did not affect the cottage or deck. We had difficulty making contact with the owners prior to the scheduled arrival day to confirm the status of the property. In the end there were issues with the waterfront which would not normally be the case. The owners generously refunded a portion of the rental payment. They provide 5 kayaks and a pedal boat which is a fabulous bonus. Inside the cottage, which is welcoming, charming and very well-equipped, you’ll find absolutely everything you might need. We loved the big table in the porch area that looks out on the lake and seats 10. Not only did we eat there, but we played games and completed a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle. All 5 beds are extremely comfortable - we slept soundly every night. Air conditioning made the whole cottage comfortable during an extreme, humid heat wave. If you’re a golfer, there are several great courses close by. We played twice at Rush Lake Hills - inexpensive and a nice course. Under less challenging circumstances, I am confident this cottage experience would get a 5+ star review!
