Amazing rental!
We just returned from a wonderful week at this property. The house is spacious, clean, and excellently maintained. We had 3 families, 6 adults and 7 kids, that fit easily in the house with room to spare.
I was amazed at how well stocked the house was. Not only does it have the standard linens, but the kitchen includes common spices/condiments, the living room had plenty of board games, and the garage held a treasure-trove of bikes, chairs, and beach toys - including 2 kayaks that we were free to use. First house that we've rented together and can't wait to come back!
Wonderful Stay at the Cozy Cottage
What a lovely home with wonderful amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. With three adults and three teenagers we had room to spare. The comfortably furnished deck, koi pond, "man cave" garage, air conditioning, washer and dryer, beautifully appointed kitchen, and grill all made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The proximity to the lake is fantastic- we could easily walk to the private beach and boating on beautiful Diamond Lake was amazing. This cottage is so beautifully decorated, and yet the owners were so gracious in allowing us to use their beautiful home away from home. We truly could not have asked for more in a vacation rental.
Cozy Cottage Christmas
We truly enjoyed our family Christmas at the Cozy Cottage! Our trip was off to a bit of a rocky start due to the condition in which the cottage was left by the prior renters and a miscommunication between the owners and the cleaning company. It's a shame that people are comfortable treating someone's lovely home in this way. The owners and cleaning company were wonderful and rectified the situation as quickly as possible and generously compensated us for our troubles. We are business owners ourselves and know that challenges can arise, but believe it is in how everyone, ourselves included, handles the situation that makes the difference in the outcome. Brian (owner) is great to work with and truly a nice person who takes pride in his property! We chose the cottage and its location because we are from Illinois and our other family members are from Michigan, it was a perfect halfway point. Our intention was to celebrate Christmas and partake in a bit of skiing at Swiss Valley, but the weather did not cooperate. It actually turned out to be perfect that we were homebound; we played tons of games, did puzzles, cooked, watched movies, took a walk around beautiful Diamond Lake and just enjoyed the company of family! Such a relaxing end to the hectic holidays! The kitchen is well stocked, there are plenty of linens and bath items and everything was organized in a user friendly manner. The cottage is very inviting with beautiful furnishings, a roomy layout and true to its name the "Cozy Cottage"! We will keep the Cozy Cottage in mind when making future vacation plans and have already shared with friends and family information on the cottage! I'm sure the Cozy Cottage would be Amazing in the summer!
Excellent Rental!
We had a wonderful stay at the Cozy Cottage on Diamond Lake. The layout of the home was roomy and had every accommodation anyone would need to make it a perfect selection for a family retreat. The furnishings were just lovely and provided enough seating for our nineteen Family Christmas Party dinner guests. Our guests loved the home too and it really made a special gathering place for all.
Everything in this home is exceptionally clean and well maintained by the owners. The décor is so welcoming and really comfortable. All the linens and bath items were plentiful as well as clean and very well organized. We never had to look for anything as items were organized in a user friendly manner.
Brian (owner) was great to work with and was available to answer any questions.
He is a really nice person and obviously takes pride in his property. We really enjoyed speaking with him and hope to rent this home again.
I would also add that a grocery and drugstore were nearby as well as close proximity to larger shopping areas. The area has beautiful homes and the Christmas lights were magnificent. We had some beautiful evening rides around the lake taking in all the Christmas decorations on display. This is quite a remarkable area and most certainly worth a vacation stay .Great for all ages. We loved it!!!
Perfect lake house vacation
We had a fantastic time at the Cozy Cottage. It was a stones throw from the lake. The accommodations were beyond our expectations. It was furnished beautifully and so well outfitted. I couldn't believe how great the kitchen was equipped. We had games of croquet in the large backyard, bbq'd on the deck and played tons of board games (many were provided). The back house was a perfect escape for the teens - with foosball, a tv and mini fridge. We stocked a ton of food and essentials, but the owners had plenty of backup coffee, cooking oil, salt/pepper, pancake mix - it was so nice.
There's a great butcher (Vlasicks) in town and farmers' market - so we ate very well. Definitely try Vlasick's homemade sausages and hotdogs - incredible. We had kids as young as 7 and an adult - 79 and it worked out beautifully for all of us. The owners were quick to respond to any questions and made our stay very nice. I would definitely stay in this house again.
My only regret is that we should have rented a pontoon for the week. Perhaps next time.
Perfect for a relaxing get away!
We had a great week at this cottage! Proximity to the beautiful, clean lake is great and the cottage is equipped with everything you might need. Open floor plan with beautiful furnishing provides ample space for lots of people. As we are avid cookers, the kitchen was delightful to cook/work in and seating space for diners was abundant - really nice! Back porch provides a great place for cocktails/happy hour. Kayak availability is another huge bonus! Only minor issue worth mentioning is the water pressure/water quality isn't the best, but it didn't deter our fun! Relax and enjoy - it is fun! Really pleased with this vacation rental....
