Good for a quick easy trip. Amazing water access. Docking a boat wasn’t easy with no cleats on the dock, but it worked ok

Nice cabin, but needs updating

The property manager provides exceptional service. We have been coming to Intermediate Lake for years and have stayed in similar cabins. We choose this one because it offered a separate bedroom in a converted garage. We were 6 adults. Generally pleased with the cabin. but it is in need of a serious update. The carpet was stained and dirty, side table (1) and lamp (1) were very old and worn, living room lacked enough setting for 6 adults, the sunporch was great but again lacked enough seating. The dock and lake were wonderful. Sandy bottom with very little seaweed. Neighbors were very friendly.

Perfect family getaway

The cabin is right on the lake with an awesome dock and sandy area for the kids to play. We had everything we needed for a fun week of swimming and relaxing.

First vacation stay in Michigan after Covid 19 shutdown

We were looking for a place to accommodate 4 adults and three kids ages 8,3,2 that had a shallow. safe beach. This location on Intermediate Lake was great! Older grandkids could play in the sand and walk quite a distance in the shallow water. Enjoyed the fire ring and , new gas grill. We were thankful there was a covered area with a picnic table to eat on a rainy day. The cabin itself is small and rustic, but we made it work. Kitchen is equipped with all you need to cook for a family. The shower in the bath was very nice. It was not as clean as we would have liked, but after contacting the manager, they came out and cleaned it up.

Nothing Cozy About It - Left Early

Upon checkin, we noticed the floors were dirty so I swept under the cupboards and along the stove. I ended up with a pile of old food and dirt. Later that night we we returned after some fun on the lake, we realized there were screws under the furnace and we had no heat. Immediately emailed property manager and never heard back. With 3 kids with us, we decided to “rough it out”. The 7 year old was up most of night complaining of the cold. When we woke up the next morning and still didn’t have a response from the manager, we left early. Got our stuff and left. The rooms had dead bugs in the corners of every room. I have lots of pics saved to my phone of what we experienced. The cabin location is great and the neighbors were friendly but this cabin is not as clean as it should be! Won’t book here again unfortunately. Property manager should have responded to the email about the heat and still to this day, I have heard nothing.
