This was our second time staying here in the Fall. It is so cozy! We love the location! We were able to enjoy some hiking and the beautiful Fall colors in the area. The cottage is clean and exactly how it is described.

A Great little House

The house is adorable and comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer, but already booked. We walked a few doors down to the Barrel Back for a great dinner by the fire.

Cozy and comfortable!

Very quaint and interesting home! Just like the photos and very close to everything in town! The only hiccup was getting the correct code for the lockbox which took about 30 minutes after our arrival but it was also available to us for an early check-in so couldn't complain too much! You are definitely speaking with a Vacasa agent and not a direct homeowner or host. Overall a great stay!

We had a wonderful stay. They have everything you need and more. Their junk drawer, which was far neater than mine at home, had unexpected and needed items. It was like being at home and away at the same time!

Iovely little home

We loved it. It had a fresh look and great design work throughout the home. It's walking distance to the town of Walloon Lake which was so great and you can get anywhere quite quickly. The bed slept great and the bathroom was super nice. Back patio was private and even had a nice fireplace area. Our fav was anging out on the spacious front porch. We will definitely be staying here again and again!

Perfect Getaway

Lake Daze is the perfect place to be your home port when you are trailering a boat around northern Michigan. We toured Walloon Lake, Lake Charlevoix, and even went to Beaver Island. Lake Daze was clean and comfortable. A perfect location to walk to dinner and shopping. Eating in was delightful as well with the kitchen containing everything we needed, and a grocery store in walking distance. Thank you!

Cozy & Charming Cottage!

I had such a wonderfully relaxing two night stay at this adorable rental. The house was bright, clean, and comfortable. I enjoyed evenings in the peaceful backyard, and morning walks on the docks at Walloon Lake. Having the bountiful vegetable garden available to me was such an unexpected surprise! I'll be back - Thank you!

Cozy nook

Super cute property. This is a no frills getaway which is reflective of the price. It has everything you need in terms of amenities and the location is fantastic for what we needed. There was quite a bit of snow which made the front door inaccessible and there wasn’t a snow shovel so we just used the back door. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to supply a shovel and salt for the back door as it was pretty snowy and icy. Overall thank you for a nice stay
