We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It had more space than we really needed but it felt like a real home, which was very nice after moving from one hotel to another on our trip. Randy was an excellent host and was very responsive to emails. The location was perfect for us and you could not ask for a better lake view! It was too cold to swim but we really enjoyed being out on the large deck. We would definitely rent the cottage again or recommend it to friends!

Randy was very accommodating and responsive to anything that was needed. The property was avaliable on time, clean and was the perfect size for our group. I bet it is even more beautiful in summer. It is a great location close to Michigan Tech, which is exactly what we were looking for.
