Great Way to Spend the Weekend!

My son was in a lacrosse tournament in Kalamazoo and the thought of spending a summer weekend in a hotel room didn't really thrill me. Fortunately, I found Emily's Place a quaint cottage with a beautiful view. For the price of a hotel room, we had room for four, a wonderful deck, and a nice view of the lake. The mooning rising over the lake at night was breathtaking. Beyond that we had a fully equiped kitchen which allowed us to save money by cooking some of our meals in house. Next time I need to to go to KZoo, I'm staying here.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Once you spend some time at "Emily's Place" you get it. It's a little bit of paradise. Check it out for yourself!

The first time we stayed at Emily's Place was Sept. of 2009. We were moving from Ky. to Mich. and our house here in Mich. wasn't going to be ready for another month. I located Emily's Place online and it sounded great but was nothing compared to how nice it really was. The one word to describe it is AWESOME! Sharon is a wonderful person, the neighbor next door is absolutely great! It was so great to sit on the deck in the early morning while the steam was rising from the lake and a couple of fishermen were trolling the waters and me with my coffee. Even though we only live about 3 miles or so from the cottage, we stayed there again in July of 2010 and had a cook-out and small party for my father-in-law. This place is the best and I would highly recommend it to anyone!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, age 55+.
