Really cute property on a perfect sized lake. Great amenities were the kayaks and paddleboat, great back porch with chairs and umbrellas, tons of towels, great kitchen accessories and dishes, large hangout space, games, and the lake view is exceptional! The split unit a/c did its best in 90 degree plus high humidity for one day of our trip and then the weather got a bit better and it was all good. A very relaxing place and we really enjoyed our stay there!!

We had a great stay on Sapphire Lake! The views were absolutely amazing, and being able to get out on the lake in the kayaks was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the area.We travel to this part of Michigan around the same time each year to select Christmas trees for our family’s Christmas tree business, Whited Christmas Trees, and we will definitely be looking to stay here again next year.Beautiful location, peaceful setting, and a great overall experience. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Lake City area!

Clean cozy cottage with an open two story ceiling in living room area plus a lakeview.We were there for a quilters getaway for four people and each day had a wonderful view with plenty of light to work on our projects. Each of us had our own sleeping area. The kitchen met our needs and had a Keurig for coffee. Host quickly responded to a problem with the water not flowing thru the Keurig which resolved the issue, yay!! Cardinal Creations quilt shop is within 10mins of the cottage. Cadillac and Lake City are within 8 to 15 minutes. We ate at After 26 Depot and went to farmers market in Cadillac on Friday. Saturday we went to Hammers pub and grub plus the rock shop in Lake City. Had great lunches at both restaurants. Our time there was memorable and fun and we hope to return next year.

Nice cottage

Nice cottage with ample space for larger group. Cottage is set in a quiet cove with a small dock. AC works well on main floor but upstairs bedrooms were very warm at night. Basic kitchen supplies, bring your own spices. Overall nice place to spend a few days.

The cottage is roomy and very clean. We wanted for nothing when cooking.It was hot inside and out when we arrived. If the air conditioning had been on before we arrived the cottage would have been more comfortable.
