About Owner
Our family of 5 is from Grand Rapids, MI. We both grew up in northern Michigan and wanted our children to be able to experience the same. We spent our fall and winter of 2016 renovating this charming cottage ourselves. We had so much fun and made great family memories along the way. It was a year they will never forget!

This is a beautiful place! Views are spectacular! Cottage is clean, comfortable and stocked with everything you could need. We enjoyed being on the water with the kayaks, paddle boards and pontoon-Big Platte Lake is a great place for a peaceful, relaxing getaway! Scott was great to deal with-always prompt with responses and made sure we had everything we needed.
Relaxing
Great cottage! The kids loved the kayaks. We will definitely be back.
