Beautiful Setting

We enjoyed our short stay here. The cottage is nicely updated inside. The beds in the primary bedroom and the bedroom on the main floor, were extremely comfortable. The kitchen had anything you might need in terms of utensils and dinnerware. And all of this in a beautiful setting on Long Lake.

Fun family getaway

My family had a blast. We enjoyed bringing our boat and being able to dock it on the property. Kids loved fishing, finding turtles, and playing in the water. The house is nice and clean, the guest house was not. Hosts were accommodating and responsive. We would stay again. Thanks for sharing this nice lake house with us!

Thanks for staying w/ us Kim. We are glad that you enjoyed your time at the house. Regarding the guest house/barn, it is rustic (musty) and not ideal for some guests. I'm glad we were able to help your party to leverage additional sleeping space to make your stay more accomodating.

We laid my brother to rest this past weekend. The cottage was a quiet place to prepare for his service, then reflect & remember our times together spent with family on Long Lake as children. Thank you

Great Lake getaway

We were only in for a short weekend but would love to come back for more. Speaking of more there was lots of room. The outside areas went on forever. The couches and seating would hold a large family or extended family. Great Soave well decorated. No worries if it’s s rain day the covered 3 seasons room will keep you dry as you enjoy the bundle of board fanes they have waiting for you. Or as we did enjoy a cup or two of coffee from the Keurig in the morning and watch the sunrise and wildlife from the elevated deck. A great place just as described.

Family Lake Trip

We chose this property because we have camped on lakes our entire life. We enjoy fishing and boating and swimming and this property had everything we enjoy as a family. My parents are getting older and can no longer camp in tents so we thought this rental would be perfect. It was large enough for all of us. It was quiet and peaceful and the view was amazing. The only thing we did not like was the stars to get to the water. They were in great shape but it was hard for my parents to get up and down and it made me nervous carrying my 8 month old up and down them. Once we got to the water it was beautiful. The owners were helpful and available if we needed them. Overall great location and great property.

We are glad you enjoyed the house. Regarding the stairs to the lake, unfortunately, they may in fact be daunting for older folks. My wife and I are in our late 40s and have no problem with the stairs. There is a boat drop on the other side of the lake and may be used to pick people up on a boat. It’s important to note that our stairs aren’t any more or less than other homes nearby & that being higher up on the lake affords the best views from the back deck. Thanks again for spending your family trip at our home.

Relaxing and accommodating

This lake home was equipped to the max!. We were staying here to be close to my son's wedding venue only a few miles away. This was perfect to accommodate our out of town family. We didn't take the time to read the house manual that we received just prior to check-in because we were busy getting ready for the wedding, but should have. We needed a porta-crib and could have found that there IS one there. The view is lovely, the kitchen and everything provided worked well. I would say that the guest/bunk house is super cute and cozy looking, but not comfortable for everyone. The humidity made it a little musty and some found that uncomfortable. However, there was plenty of sleeping space for our group in the main house - including comfy couches. I would book again for out of town guests if the need arose. We live too close to call this a vacation stay for my husband and I - but the lake was beautiful and we enjoyed our visit.

We are glad you enjoyed the house. Regarding the guest/bunk house, it does tend to get musty. With this said, it comes equipped with a self-contained AC/De-humidifier unit, fans & even heat for the colder months. Thanks again for spending your son's wedding weekend at our home.

Wonderful location, quiet, yet fun location. We really enjoyed the house and the lake. I had a beautiful view from the upper deck each morning for my coffee. Kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking essentials needed for meals at home. Lake was so clean and the perfect temperature. The guys had great luck bass fishing from our boat and the dock. We had constant turtle visitors and some entertaining chipmunks and squirrels. My daughter swears they threw nuts at us when we were on the dock We visited 2 different Lake Michigan beaches and 2 golf courses.The hosts answered questions quickly when we had them. Thank you for sharing your beautiful lake getaway!

Perfect Girls Weekend

For our group of friends this was everything we could have asked for. We had great days on the lake, taking full advantage of the kayaks! The evenings were amazing on the deck. It was exactly what a group of moms needed to relax and catch up with old friends. We plan to make this an annual trip, and hope to enjoy this home for years to come.

Thumbs up!

We enjoyed our stay. The owners have made nice updates to the home; notably the kitchen and master bedroom. The lake is very clean w/ clear water and a sandy bottom around the dock. There are several mature oak trees on the property that provide shade and keep the house cool. The only downside to this is the trees dropped acorns & and other debris on the large deck which required a lot of sweeping on our part. This may just be a problem in spring/early summer. If I were to stay here again I’d bring a leaf blower to clean it off. The kayaks were definitely a highlight for the kids as was the foam float that can be tied to the dock. We were disappointed that the shed was too musty to spend time in comfortably. I’d advise anyone planning to use that as sleeping space to reconsider. Even with the windows open and fan operating it never aired out. I think the rug and bedding has absorbed a lot of the moisture. There were several containers of Damp Rid that were full. The week before we were there was pretty rainy, maybe later in the summer when The weather is dryer it isn’t as much of a problem. John was very responsive and booking was easy. Overall this is a nice getaway in the Three Rivers area.

Take a break from Life and Relax

The process of renting the property was extremely easy. John and Jenny were very responsive, and even proactive as a host to ensure all questions were answered, and all of our needs were met. The property is well maintained, with a beautiful view inside and out. Very serene, quiet, and breathtaking. Great for a small get away, or for an entire family (and then some) to spend some quality time! I definitely recommend.

Fall Break

Awesome place for my wife and I to get away for a few days to celebrate our anniversary. The house was perfect and had everything that we needed. Beautiful deck overlooking the lake with everything you could want for the lake in the boathouse. Look forward to going back in the summer.

Comfortable home, friendly responsive owners.

The lake is beautiful, clear and deep and the home very comfortable. The owners were very accommodating and quick to communicate. Perfect with teenagers as they loved having their “private” space in the bunk house to sleep. Comfy mattresses all around! The shower upstairs is very short (we are all over 5’9” and weren’t able to comfortably use it) but the one downstairs was good. Kitchen had all the comforts of home. We needed to do a bit of cleaning when we moved in for the week that we didn’t expect but the owners rectified that situation with us. We all loved catching frogs and turtles along the shore at night, the stars are incredible from the water, paddle boarding, kayaking and playing on the large float mat were some highlights during the days. We fished each day with every lure in the box but never got a bite. Another thing to note: There are 43 stairs to the waterfront and not much of a “beach” or grass area down there so if you aren’t very agile take that into consideration. Up in the house, There were four of us on line each day with school and work and the internet supported it all. And the colors turned bright just before we left. Hello Fall! Thank you John and Jenny

Best Vacation Spot

We’ve been coming to John’s place for a few years and always has the best experience. The house has the perfect location and the best deck overlooking the lake. The house itself is great, perfect for energizing and families activities. John is very accommodating and always quick to get back you you with questions. We will definitely be back!
