Visiting family

We came to Waterford to visit our son and daughter-in-law and the location was perfect. We enjoyed the house on the lake and the beautiful view and sunsets. The bed was very comfortable and the deck was nice to enjoy the outdoors. Tom and Judy were amazing. We look forward to coming back to this lovely home.

The perfect lake house getaway!

I have nothing but positive things to say about this gorgeous place! The view from the deck is worth it alone but the home is very cozy and was perfect for me and my partner. Very close to lots of excellent restaurants and boutiques and hiking trails and a pretty short drive to Ann Arbor. We will absolutely be staying here again, we can’t wait!

Great little house on nice lake

Spotless, well-appointed home on all-sports lake. Really enjoyed all the watercraft available for guest use and all the lounging spots for enjoying the outdoors. Owners live right next door and were quick to answer any questions. Had everything we needed during our stay. Wish it could have been longer!

Beautiful and Relaxing

My husband and I really enjoyed sitting on the deck viewing the beautiful lake. The lake also provided some very active fishing from the dock. The home was comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well appointed with all the needed dishware and cookware. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. We would love to return to this property for future visits to the area.

Wonderful Lake Vacation

We enjoyed our 2 week stay at this cottage on Williams Lake. This was a cozy, clean home with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We had a great time fishing, swimming, and kayaking. Lots of bass and catfish and even saw some turtles. There were plenty of indoor games when the weather was rainy. Tom and Judy were great hosts! You won’t be disappointed at this property!

Home full of warmth

Wonderful place, has everything. Owners extremely attentive towards needs and that you are very comfortable. House has warmth which makes you feel at home. Has firepit out back, grill, wonderful view of the lake. Wasn't able to use firepit, due to rain and busy schedule, but would highly recommend it! Awesome TV channels and availability in all rooms.

Perfect sunset view over the lake. The owners are quick to respond to messages. We took the kayaks around the perimeter of the lake. Thry were fun, and the seats were very comfortable. The squirrels and chipmunks were an added little bonus as well. Loved leaving little snacks out and watching them.

Comfortable & Cozy Lakeside Cottage

Our family stayed here for a long August weekend (four nights) and even though we had a lot of rain, we thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and all its cozy amenities. The beds are super comfortable, as well as the living room couches. The kitchen has everything you need to cook light or larger meals and the fridge holds a lot. The washer and dryer was also a plus. Overall, the location is perfect and allowed us to bounce around to various family events in the surrounding area. Each night we returned to our beautiful cottage with a spectacular lake-side view. We’ll be back for future visits for sure.

Relaxing Get Away

My boyfriend and I stayed for a two nights during the week and it was just the little vacation we needed. Home was very neat and clean with all the amenities we needed. We grilled out and enjoyed a fire on the deck over looking the lake. The kayaks were prefect for seeing the lake and enjoying all the wild life. Communication with the owners was easy and quick. I would recommend this home for anyone who is coming for a concert at Pine Knob and who wants to enjoy some lake fun during their trip. I will definitely book again when coming out to this side of the state.

Overnight

It was a lovely home on the lake. We had a wonderful time sitting on the deck and enjoying the lake. If the house next door was the host, they made us feel comfortable. We never met them as the home had everything we needed. My husband was going to fish, but it rained steadily the next morning. I highly recommend!

Great Location but lack of privacy

The cottage is very nice and very comfortable. However, the hosts live next door and came over to the house 3 times. Two times they were not very polite and quite offensive. We left a day early as we were not comfortable staying any longer. There is much more to this story and how badly we were treated but won't get into it. Just know you will have eyes on your every move and there might be better rental options out there.

About the host

Hosted by Judy and Tom Rolph

Why they chose this property

Cute and very clean, great view. We do our best to give you a spotless home with everything washed and cleaned to perfection. I know what it is like to stay in a hotel and our home will feel at home cleaned from top to bottom. We have lived on many lakes in the area but always come back to Williams Lake it is private and everyone is respectful. Also the lake is only 40' deep so it stays warmer longer.

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy the kayaks. We live next door but would never come over unannounced. We prefer two adults, if more it will be an extra charge per adult 100 per day.
