Decent place

Nice little cottage. Shared waterfront and dock. Really nice lake - very quiet and good size. Wifi didn't have internet connection. Overall, a fair value.

Lovely Lake

There was a lot to like about this cottage, especially the peaceful location right on a small lake with swimming available right outside the door. The living room / kitchen was just as pictured, with nice windows and views of the lake and sunset. There is a lot of shared public space which lends a nice atmosphere to the cottage. The bedroom and bathroom were small and dark, though. I opted to sleep on the sleeper sofa in the living room instead of staying in the bedroom and I spent as little time in the shower as possible. I wasn't expecting anything fancy, but these two spaces would benefit from a refresh and deep clean.

Awesome Location

The tranquility of the lake in the front yard was awesome. Perfect location to take day trips Fish Town, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Charlevoix and Petoskey. Swam in the crystal clear water everyday, steps away from the cottage. A kayak or paddle board would make this the perfect location, but there aren’t any at the cottage. Other than the lack of a kayak, it was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Jill Raleigh

My husband, John and I have lived and worked in Sarasota, Florida since 1989. Originally from Kalamazoo, MI. We have been vacationing on Nowland Lake for 15 years and when the opportunity finally came up to buy one for ourselves, we took the leap. We plan to spend all summer there once we retire, but in the meantime, we are happy to be able to offer it for rent so others can experience and enjoy this very special place!
