A perfect northern MI vacation!

Our family of 5, with small kids, had a perfect getaway on Platte Lake! The home was incredibly clean and comfortable, and our hosts were excellent with communication and information. Most importantly, the location is unbeatable - we can't wait to come back!

The Platte Lake experience

We had a great time at the lake; the pull out sofa and futons were a bit hard in old bones, but we managed just fine and there was an air bed available if we needed it. I would definitely rent this place again.

Summer 2024

The cottage held so much charm as was promised in the description. I have rented many summer places, and this by far was one of the loveliest, cleanest, and welcoming. The owner was extremely communicative and supportive. Not only did we have Platte Lake in which to swim, Peterson Beach was one of the most stunning lake Michigan beaches I’ve seen.

Big Platte Lake Vacation

We all had a nice relaxing and fun week at your home. We enjoyed playing in the water every day. It was a nice bonus to have the kayaks as we used them daily. We kayaked the Platte River and it was awesome!! A lot of different activities an sights to see close by. Enjoyed sitting around the campfire every night. The home had everything we needed and was clean with plenty of room. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Beautiful cottage on Platte Lake

We loved our stay in this charming cabin. The property was very clean and very well maintained. It was great for 2 families with kids. It was even better than the pictures.

Just as it appears

We stayed here with our three adult children and their significant others to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The place is exactly as it appears in the photos. It was very clean and very well stocked. There were great beds - hard to find a place with three bedrooms that have at least a queen sized bed. The outdoor area was very nice with a dock, kayaks, fire pit, lots of seating, etc. The lake was nice and we used our boat several days. The only drawback for us was a lack of comfortable seating and good lighting in the living room. The furniture wasn't really meant for lounging. The best piece of furniture was the couch on the side porch but my son slept in there all week so it wasn't really available for use as a living area.

Paradise

We had a wonderful week on Platte Lake. The cottage was perfect. Very cool place to replenish your Pure Michigan spirit. The cottage had so many great places to relax and take in the beautiful scene. Plenty of space for our family and all of the amenities that we could ever ask for. Being on the footsteps of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore makes it even more ideal. The hosts were helpful, kind and gracious. Great overall experience.

Family vacation

My Chicago and Cleveland families had a wonderful vacation at Historic Platte Lake Home! Being on the lake with yardage on either side of the home was perfect! We took advantage of the kayaks provided and my grandsons loved just running around , playing games. I would definitely recommend!

Great vacation

This property is fantastic. Great woodwork and atmosphere in the house. The outdoors is exceptional. We spent most of our time overlooking the lake at all the locations, from the decks, to the swing, to the hammock to the dock. Would rent again in a heartbeat!

Up North get away

This year especially my son and family wanted to stay away from people, they drove from Phoenix in a motor home with kids to avoid hotels, restaurants and planes. This place fit the bill, we really didn't need to go anywhere once we got there. Also the weather was perfect, I know you can't always count on that, but we have stayed here three times and had great weather every time.

Heavenly spot on Platte Lake

We had a perfect week. The owner did a terrific virtual check-in and the house was impeccably clean. The house I very well-equipped and cared for. Platte Lake is divine. The water temp was up to about 80 by the time we left and was great for swimming and water sports. We loved being able to use the kayaks and the outdoor spaces were great. It was nice to always have a different shady spot for which to gaze at the lake. We had a hot week and the 6 or so fans indoors were a big help. We loved being just 10 minutes from Lake Michigan and enjoyed 3 sunsets there, the national park, canoeing and more. The i land lake location. With such proximity to sleeping bear dunes lakeshore is a real treat. Thanks for a marvelous week.

Pics Don't Do It Justice!

When I walked into the house all I could keep saying was wow as I strolled through looking at everything. It's absolutely beautiful and was exceptionally clean! I mean exceptionally clean! The upstairs bathroom had a small leak issue which I reported and they offered to come fix right away. It was no biggie for us we just showered on the main floor. The water is super shallow and crystal clear. The bottom has larger rocks so water shoes are helpful. The only thing we missed at this property was having a small beach area for the kids to play in the sand. Everything else was perfect.

What a cottage should be

We loved everything from Platte Lake to property to the cottage to the furnishings! Our stay was everything a Michigan lake stay vacation was supposed to be. We can’t say enough about how great the cottage was and the activities around the area. The family did not want to go home!
