We had a wonderful time at the lake! The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of blankets and pillows. The kitchen had everything we needed and the water toys provided were fun! We rented a boat for the week and it was easy to dock at the pier! The lake was perfect for swimming off the boat and tubing! Watching the sailboats was great too!

Property centrally located to everything. Dock area extra large, and plenty of room for sun bathing. Owners make enough items accessable to ensure you have what you need to rest and relax or swim and paddle boat the lake. Would stay again.

Perfect Getaway

From the moment you walk in, there is a lakehouse feel. The view is amazing. The cottage is decorated nicely. We enjoyed fishing, paddle boat, deck area and there is a nice golf course nearby (Four Lakes CC). Relaxing, peaceful getaway. Hope to return someday.

Great Stay!

The lake house was clean and cute. Spent mornings sipping coffee on the deck with fantastic views. This side of the lake is shallow and sandy, perfect for my kids to swim and explore the shells. Owners were so nice and easily available. Their boat ride around the lake was unexpected and fun. BONUS they are big ND fans! Highly recommend!

Family Fun

This was our third stay at this property. My kids enjoy the easy access to the lake. They spend hours swimming around the pier. They also enjoyed the floats, kayaks, lily pad, and rowboat that were available for use. The house is in a great location with a beautiful lake view. The outside balcony is great for hanging out and eating meals. We hope to return again!

Beautiful view and adorable cottage. My family had a wonderful stay! We had one issue and the owners were on top of it promptly. The day we arrived they popped over to say hi. We were in great contact throughout our whole stay. They offered to take us out on their boat which I thought was so kind but we declined. The owners are literally the kindest people and make you feel like family I highly recommend bringing a family here to stay. It was so fun with all the water toys they have to offer and fully equipped home with all your needs. My only issue was the master bedroom bed. It’s extremely uncomfortable but I also have a very bad back.

A wonderful experience in Edwardsburg, Michigan

My family and I couldn't of asked for anything more when it comes to our most recent trip. The cottage we stayed at in Edwardsburg, Michigan was amazing. It was the perfect place for my family to unwind for a week. Our hosts, Mary Joe and Bob, were incredible. They did everything in their power to make the trip a success. I would highly recommend their property, especially if you have kids. We will definitely be back again.

The Greatest Lake View!

This Eagle Lake cottage is very clean and exceptionally well-provisioned, but it is the lake view that is most outstanding. Sitting on the deck, lawn or pier provides instant relaxation and a sense of peace. The owners were very responsive to my questions. Even though I wished for a bathroom on the bedroom level, I highly recommend this VRBO rental for anyone seeking a great lakefront getaway..

Pure happiness

This is our 2nd visit to this home. It has a stunning view, fantastic owners, everything you need at your fingertips (which makes packing easier) & that at home feeling everyone loves. My boys love the lake toys, going for a kayak ride, jumping off the dock & enjoying smores at the end of the night. We can't wait to book our trip for next year!

Cozy cottage on Eagle Lake

We loved this cottage. It has absolutely everything you need and right on the lake. The views are just amazing. I couldn’t get enough sunrise pictures. Loved them. On Saturday we woke up to a sailboat regatta going on right in front of the cottage. Beautiful! The hosts were so great to talk to. I would love to meet them in person. There is a huge swimming area with a sandy bottom right in front of the cottage. We swam, kayaked and enjoyed the bird watching. This is a wonderful place for a couple or a family.♥️

Comfortable cottage with excellent lake views

First impression… absolutely adorable! The location is perfectly convenient yet secluded. We spent our days resting and relaxing as well as being on the lake enjoying our sailboat. This cottage was outfitted with everything necessary for a quick getaway or an extended stay. Our favorite place was the deck… watching the mist rise with coffee in the morning and dinners and/or a beverage while enjoying the sunset. The cottage is small but the owners keep the property in excellent condition. Available immediately via text or call if we needed anything. We loved this spot and are already looking forward to returning next year!

Great Getaway

This is a little hidden gem! My husband and I chose this property as a last minute Lakehouse get-away. It was just perfect. It's a quaint little cottage, but very nicely updated/renovated and clean. Fully stocked kitchen to cook anything. Plenty of water toys and equipment. The owners live close so they even took us for a boat ride one evening. It was delightful! The location on the water is so perfect as it sits out on a point and you almost have 180 degrees of water view and sunsets. My only suggestion could be that the Master bedroom mattress is not very comfortable. It could use a gel topper or a new mattress. Otherwise, everything was perfect! We would highly recommend to others.

Midsummer Dream

I have rented cottages on southwestern Michigan inland lakes, for short term vacations, over a 45 year period and have never experienced the attention to detail that put me and my wife in a “lake mood” like this place did. Every special lake touch helped make our stay a more pleasurable getaway. The host and hostess made a special effort to communicate and please us. Eagle is a very clean lake and the solid sand bottom made it nice when playing in the water. The cottage is located on a prominent point which gives great views of she lake from the elevated deck or while looking out the big windows and sliding doors. The entire cottage was spotless. The bathroom was very clean and fresh. The cottage has everything just bring the food and drinks. Everything about the place is great but the neighbors are territorial with their properties.

Nice lake, house had issues & lost power

PROS: 1) Wonderful lake, 2) fun on rented boat, 3) excellent location, 4) essentials well stocked, 5) clean. CONS: 1) House lost power before check in (storm) & we weren’t notified; no electric, no water 2) House is not 2 bedrooms. There are bunk beds in a landing with no door/privacy/sound barrier 3) Lots of bugs: spiders, ants, earwigs, silverfish, aphids, flies, mosquitos, moths. None harmful but A LOT (mid-90s our whole stay & we ran the AC so no open doors/windows) 4) Coffee pot took an hour to make a full pot 5) Stairway has no rail/spindles on open side to living area (safety factor). 6) Living room sectional won’t stay connected, slides around on laminate floor. 7) Upper floor & stairway are creaky (old home) & loud when moving thru bunk sleeping space. 8) Propane grill wouldn’t heat above 350deg. 9) Dock needs daily sprinkler turn on/off to keep away geese. Stay was tainted by owner’s response to power loss. We moved to a hotel our first night because the house was uninhabitable. Owner offered us to stay an extra night no charge, we proposed a 1-night refund b/c our schedules wouldn’t allow us a longer stay. Got a text two days later that because the outage was ‘weather’/not her fault, she wouldn’t give a refund. Power was out ~10 hours. Unreasonable for a family of 4 (2 elem kids) to stay at a property with no lights or running water - and no working toilet! They proposed flushing #1s with a bucket of lake water....but were warned no #2s!
