Great family getaway

This place had everything we needed for a weekend away with our kids. Spacious yard, lake access, games and activities for kids and hot tub for the adults to enjoy. Was so nice to relax after the kids went to bed and just enjoy the peaceful neighborhood. Quick trip to Ann Arbor if you wanted to enjoy a night out in the city. We will definitely be back!

Nice Lake Cottage

Nice four night stay. About 15 minutes from Ann Arbor. We went to University of Michigan football game and easy to get in and get out from this area. House exactly as pictured and host has thought of everything one would need to fully feel at home here. Beautiful lake views from inside. Lovely area. Lots of leaf burning the entire time which was unfortunate as we couldn’t really enjoy being outside but that is just this time of year. Would definitely stay again.
