Such a serene and beautiful place. We were able to relax and enjoy our children. The lake was plenty of entertainment, but we enjoyed all the a cabin has to offer as well. We had movie night each night with popcorn, juice boxes, and laughs. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us. Now for the loony drive back . Love and Peace!

Dear Joanna and Don, Your description in the rental ad of your cottage is exactly accurate! We knew that we would love staying here as soon as we read it and this week was exactly what we had hoped for. Every day has been perfect and we only needed the A/c on two nights, but we were glad you had them available. The breeze through the trees and through the cottage made for luxurious sleeping. We kayaked all four lakes and snorkeled this one intensively. I lived north of here as a child and your place captures the essence of my memories of the lake life. Plainwell is a neat little town and we did a trip to Saugatuck and Holland as well. Thank you so much for sharing your cottage with us and with so many others like them, we truly appreciate your personal touches and hospitality. R & R

Don and Joanna, Our stay simply could not have been better. The Cozy Cottage exceeded our expectations! Our 11 & 12 year old grandsons loved the Kayaks. We highly recommend a day at the Air Zoo. The kids rode the flight simulator 7 times. Suggest arriving early before it gets crowded. We took the rowboat along the Lake #4 shoreline fishing on Friday and couldn't keep fish off the hooks. It was amazing. Your hospitality and your "Cozy Cottage" made this feel like a 2nd home. We are making plans for next summer. Thank you! Guest

Stayed in October for almost a week, the fall colors were beautiful. The lake was serene and quiet, a perfect getaway. The cabin is perfect - beautiful woodwork, perfectly laid out. The views are terrific. The owners left homemade muffins and s'mores stuff in a basket, really thoughtful! They are wonderful people. The cabin is far enough away from town that its perfectly quiet, yet only maybe 10 minutes away from grocery and big box stores, and the highway for those traveling. I was born and grew up in this town, but I never knew that part of the lake existed. I will be back in the spring for another week, and probably many times again.
Owner response:Joni, Glad you made it home safe and sound. We love the music you left us. Have a wonderful holiday, winter and see you in the spring. Don and Jo

Don and Joanna, 6th annual Cozy Cottage vacation Thank you so much for the opportunity to enjoy the cozy cottage again this year. We had a great time. My boys enjoyed the books here and Matt was able to finish the Black Op book- all 784 pages! We had a beautiful 2 weeks and enjoyed every day but one on the boats and lake. The one day we could not enjoy outside because of Tornado warning, we spent inside playing board games and cards. Thanks again. The Evans :)
