Our family loved our stay! The cottage was perfect and the lake was beautiful! The lake has clear water and is pretty shallow for a long way out. There is a dock with a ladder for getting into the lake, which makes is super easy. The cottage was really clean, and we loved that linens were provided, so we didn't have to bring our own. We had everything we needed for cooking simple meals. There are a lot of attractions, like Mackinac Island, Harbor Springs and Lake Huron, within one hour, so if the weather doesn't cooperate for a lake day, there is still plenty of fun to be had. There are kayaks for kids and adults, with life vests, which was an added bonus. We appreciated the extra touches, like dish soap and dishwasher tabs, too.
