The perfect family vacation
This cottage had everything we were looking for in a rental. The lake was beautiful with sandy beach and crystal clear waters. We were able to use our boat on three lakes and boat traffic was quiet. The house was immaculate and very inviting with a great open floor plan-lots of room for everyone! The beds were comfortable and the deck was a great place to congregate for meals and evening conversations. Our whole family loved our week at Big Fish Lake!

Great Quiet Get-away
This was a very nice, fun get-away property! Good proximity to a nice playground and splash pad in Lawton and not a bad drive from Lake Michigan either. The private beach was nice and would have been great if we would have brought our boat. Would recommend, and will definitely consider coming back!

This lake is a gem, great fishing! Our private beach guarantees you relaxing days playing in the sand, and enjoyable nights around the fire pit.
