The house is beautiful and well equipped. The lawn and sitting area outside are also beautiful. Parking can be a little tight. Highly recommend.

Our stay couldn't have been more perfect. Sue did a great job in communicating with me regarding a couple questions that I had prior to our stay. The house had everything we could have possibly needed. Sue provided a binder that listed all the details about the property plus lots of restaurant suggests. We took a short drive into Tecumseh on Saturday morning for their farmers market which was a lot of fun. There is one kayak provided at the rental, but we brought two more and had a great time exploring the lake. Although, the next time we go we will look into renting a pontoon or wave runner for some added activities, Bottomline, if you are looking for a relaxing get away in a very clean well-kept lake house check out the Welcoming Lake House on Sand Lake, you won't be disappointed.

This lake house was stunning! It is an amazing lake front property. It is beautifully landscaped and the interior was just as nice. We had plenty of room for our growing family! Our 3 month old granddaughter experienced her first swim in the lake and her first boat ride! (Rob’s Rentals…for our pontoon rental)Everything we could possibly need was available in the cottage except K cups for our morning coffee, but that was very easily picked up at the local grocery store! Firewood was also easy to obtain near the boat launch for the fire pit! The owners were very friendly and easy to communicate with via text or a simple walk next door! Sue and Peter were amazing and definitely show pride in their home and rental with how well they take care of everything! We highly recommend this rental property and we hope to come back next summer!

We enjoyed our time at "Sunset Shore Cottage" on Sand Lake. The host's were very friendly and responsive to any questions. The Cottage sits on prime lakefront real estate with sunset views and swans! Family friendly and immaculate inside. You won't be disappointed with a cottage dock and public boat access close by.
