Amazing home with unbeatable views!

My family had a wonderful stay at this property. The hosts were quick to communicate and answer any questions we had. The home has been recently updated and was exceptionally clean. Plenty of room for kids and adults alike. Anything we needed was provided from beach towels to paddle boards to ample seating inside and out the home. Highly recommend and will likely be back sooner than later!

We love this house! This is the cleanest rental home we have ever stayed in. The decor is light and tranquil. The windows bring in so much great sunlight and stunning lake views. The house has had a lot of changes and upgrades from our original stay in 2021 and they did a phenomenal job! Beach (sturdy staircase, paddleboards and kayaks), fire pit, hot tub, amazing views from the deck, and a blackstone..it was perfect, We couldn't ask for anything else! The owner is kind and easy to communicate with. We will stay here again and again.

Nana's Lake Michigan Family Vacation

This is a beautiful home on Lake Michigan, bright, clean and plenty of room with wonderful lake views from every window. The beach is spectacular and was enjoyed by everyone. Nana watched most of the activity from the deck and could tell everyone was enjoying themselves. We were blessed with great weather. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Superb!

My family and I have stayed at many VRBO vacation homes and have enjoyed most (one exception). Our 2023 stay was by far one that checked all the boxes. It was CLEAN, roomy, beautifully decorated, and accessible for all 9 of us. The beach and the Blackstone really put this vacation over the top (plus the weather was perfect).

Picture-perfect cottage on the lake with every amenity

Had a fabulous weekend here celebrating my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. The view of Lake Michigan was breathtaking with an unforgettable sunset each night. Inside, the home was beautifully furnished with a sophisticated, thoughtfully curated interior that felt modern and elegant. As someone who loves to cook, I was elated to find a well-stocked kitchen with sharp knives (a rare and welcome surprise in a rental), plus both a Blackstone and propane grill. The space was generous and comfortable, with room to spread out and relax. The host was kind, responsive, and made everything easy from start to finish. We can't wait to come back.

Beautiful, Quaint Location

We spent a week here with my in-laws (9 people total). The house was big enough for all of us and met all of our needs. The kitchen and living room area are big and spacious with a beautiful view of the lake. The bedrooms are all quite large and the beds were comfortable. The cottage is located about 5 miles outside of Montague in a quiet, peaceful area. It was a great area for running and riding bikes. I would definitely recommend this cottage and we hope to return again next year.

Lake Michigan Wonder

My family, ranging in age from 13 to 99, had a fabulous stay at Roosevelt Cottage. I was extremely impressed with the well-stocked kitchen; much better than anything I have seen at other properties. A perfect get away for relaxing, enjoying the lake views, and walking on the beach.
