Best Fourth of July vacation!

The listing description was spot on and even better! Home is stocked with everything you might need. We were able to dock our fishing boat there and rent the pontoon anytime we wanted. Owners were friendly and very accommodating. Definitely a great vacation for our family.

The location and setting were great. House is not luxurious but very functional. It worked well for 3 couples. We assumed, from the listing, that the pontoon boat was included in the rental cost - it was not, and costs a significant amount extra to use. We loved the outdoor seating areas.

An amazing trip!

This is one of the best trips we’ve taken! The perfect house rented from a great owner. This place has everything! The boats for fishing tubing and relaxing, the tree house, the sandy beach for the little ones, the hot tub, and the house fit everyone perfect. Recommend this place. We will be going back for sure!

Our family will never forget our week here. It was a rare gift of time together with our mom who is facing a terminal illness. The house could not have been more perfect—it gave us the gift of simply being together. It was spacious enough to host friends and relatives who rotated in and out, yet cozy enough to draw us all together. Our days were filled with kayaking, canoeing, and soaking in the beauty of the lake.The beds were heavenly, giving us much-needed rest. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked many meals together, including a night of bluegill courtesy of Jeff, the homeowner. What touched us most was the owner’s compassion—checking in, offering flexibility, and truly caring about our experience. We left with hearts full of gratitude and heads full of lasting memories.

Very nice stay

The place was very clean when we arrived; very easy check-in and checkout. We enjoyed all the amenities (hot tub, outdoor fire pit, small beach, water activities, and grill). The kitchen was well-equipped and the owner was very responsive. We'd definitely come back!

We enjoyed our syay very much! We couldn't have had more accommodating hosts. The place was very stocked with your needs, as in kitchen needs, towels, comfy beds, and recreation. If we need something Jeff was right there. We had some elderly with us. Jeff, the owner was right on the spot installing grab bars, to whatever was needed. I would stay here again, and would recommend this home . The fishing was great, convenient stores , and restaurants, close ,was a plus.. Fun for all ages!

Excellent host and place

Jeff was very accommodating and very knowledgeable of the area. Took us fishing one night, and we caught some nice bluegills. Ate those fish the next night. Caught some fish about every day. Pontoon boat was awesome. Took grandkids tubing and had a blast. Kayaking was fun also. Lake is very clear and not overly busy. Home is nice and has everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Plenty of space for sleeping and beds are comfortable. Used pellet grill and it was easy to use and did a great job of bbging. Golf cart was a plus when we needed to go to grocery store since just up the hill. 2 restaurants are near by also. Has a great stay and would recommend to anyone looking to have stress free stay.

Great property, great location

Spent a 4 day weekend with the family at Jeff's place. Great area with a few restaurants, a great local grocery store. Peaceful setting on the water. We rented the pontoon as well and enjoyed our time cruising around Long Lake. Appreciated it being pet friendly. The covered area overlooking the lake and the docks was where we spent 80% of our time enjoying the fresh air and lake views. Jeff was very accommodating and ensured we enjoyed our time. Highly recommend!

Perfect family lake retreat

We had a fantastic stay during the week of the 4th of July. The cottage was extremely clean and had all the necessities available. Our boys (ages 14 and 12) enjoyed using the kayaks and the convenience of seeing some of our friends on Long Lake, as well as, the access to Baldwin on the property Having Zimmy’s Tavern, George’s Bar & Grill, and Mills Grocery within a 2 minute walk is a HUGE plus. At the end of a long day on the lake takeout pizza from Zimmy’s was a family favorite. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. We can’t say enough positive comments about our experience.

Jeff and his family were fantastic hosts and a big part of why we enjoyed our stay so much. 10/10 experience / would book again! My husband and I were the first guests of the season, and there were a few things that were (understandably) a little less than dialed in. Jeff addressed these immediately as we arrived and went above and beyond to make things right. The lake is the cleanest & clearest water we’ve ever seen, we enjoyed taking the canoe to the sandbar across the inlet for swimming and fishing - this is a must! We met some very nice and funny people hanging out there. The blue pontoon was fantastic to explore the larger side of the lake. The house had all of the amenities you could ask for and more, comfortable bedding with ample pillows, even the small things like flossers were provided. The location of this house is perfect, a very very short walk to two great bar and grill local spots that had amazing food and service. Mills grocery is right there as well and has everything you could think of. There are also neighboring towns that have great wineries, breweries, shops, etc. that are a short 15-20 min drive away, which we decided to do on a few days where the weather wasn’t ideal. Evening bonfires right on the lake are so peaceful, we met the neighborhood cat (which we named Vinnie after stealing one of our salt and vinegar potato chips) and watched all sorts of wildlife. Such a great and memorable experience, we cannot wait to go back!
