Great location

We really enjoyed relaxing by the lake and spent more time than planned watching the boats pass by. It's a well maintained cabin with good beds, a decent kitchen, and a screened porch facing the lake. The warm sandy beach was a big plus.

Great lake cabin on Intermediate Lake

We had a great vacation 4th of July week. The cabin was very clean and well kept. The owners take great care of their property. The lot was large and very private with a large nice sandy beach. The dock was real nice and both the aluminum boat and rental boat were perfect for families who like to fish. The fishing was really good. We caught smallmouth, largemouth, bluegill and perch. The owners were very personable and attentive to any questions we had; great to work with. We would highly recommend this lake cabin!

Excellent Location

Location is nicely situated about 3 miles north of Bellaire just off M-88 directly across from boat launch. Spent a week golfing and fishing. Plenty of courses nearby to choose from. Caught 6 different species of fish but nothing big enough to write home about. Loved the fire pit at night. You could tell that the owners put a lot of TLC into their home and grounds. All in all a very memorable stay.

Beautiful Stay

Thank you! Thank you! Todd and Julie for the beauty and enjoyment we experienced as we stayed in your cottage this October. The warm and cozy fireplace, the lake view with visiting white swans and the bald eagle cruising over the water, are memories we will treasure. The peak of the fall colors from the screened-in porch was unbelievable! We were blessed with this opportunity you provided.

Relaxing fishing trip!

Nice home. Probably in need of minor updates. Owner was very responsive to questions, We had to supply our own bedding and towels. We were not aware that the home has a 36” wide shower stall only. We are all over 6 ft tall. Kind of a deal breaker for a return trip. Great Lake frontage, close to town. Overall a nice time! Slept well!

Perfect Summer Getaway - location, location, location...

We were looking for a beach house to spend a week kayaking, paddle boarding & hiking. This location was perfect. Great sandy beach, beautiful lake connected to the chain of lakes, close to Bellaire with great food & drinks and close to Glacial Hills (excellent and well-marked hiking trails). It's also the perfect spot to sit and read a book and relax. Tucked away right off of M-88 in a lovely location with plenty of space for our vehicle loaded with kayaks & bikes. Very private. The firepit at night was a real treat in the cool evenings and the moon over the lake from the end of the dock - well, it was just spectacular. Todd was responsive and provided clear instructions pre-visit and during our stay. The lake house was exactly as described, rustic (super charming) and extremely clean. I can't think of one thing I would change from this trip. We would love to visit again as our calendar allows.

BEAUTIFUL LAKESIDE CABIN

My wife and I stayed at Todd and Julie's cabin for a week. There were as many as six adults staying at any one time. It was spacious enough for all of us to relax in. The property is very quiet with a beautiful view of Intermediate Lake. There is a nice outdoor sitting area around a firepit. It was very clean with all the basic amenities. There is only one bathroom, and the hot water heater has a limited capacity. So some coordination is needed as far as shower use. There is no washer/dryer, but a laundromat is located close by in Bellaire. Although the cabin is somewhat secluded, Bellaire is just down the road. We enjoyed breakfast at The Lunch Box restaurant and coffee at M88 Morning Grind. Short's Brewery is very well known. A large Family Fare supermarket is within a few minutes' drive. Todd is an excellent communicator and promptly answered questions before and during our stay. I recommend this vacation cabin very highly for a family stay as well as for just adults who want a quiet, peaceful lakeside cabin experience.
