Very clean, well stocked with everything you need and more, well decorated, good response from owner when needed! Couldn't ask for a better view of the lake, and firepit with all the wood you need for it was an added plus!
The beach cottage was even better than we expected. It had everything we needed and then some. So peaceful and serene. It is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful bay!
Very clean, comfortable and beautiful. The owner was wonderful at communicating during our stay. We needed a new filter and she had one at the door the next day. We LOVED the beach and view, as did our dogs. We will be back and can’t wait to stay here again.
The cabin was comfortable and cozy. The weather was typical for Michigan, variable, LOL! We had plenty of opportunities to explore the area and enjoy all that the cabin had to offer. We wish the conditions were more favorable to enjoy the outdoor features of the cabin. I guess we’ll just have to make a return trip!
Great place to stay as it was central to all we planned to see. Very beautiful scenery. If I was to change anything I believe I would add curtains at west windows. The setting sun shown through making it difficult to see. Definitely not a deal breaker. Looking forward to booking again with Vrbo.
This is our second time staying here and again we did not want to leave. For our family of four this place is perfect and Heather is more than gracious as a host. Even checking in with us knowing we needed to travel after the ice storm that had recently come through. We recommend this place and area to everyone! Looking forward to our next stay here!!
Beyond the beautiful, this property has everything you will need. It’s just like being in your own home. Comfortable furnishings, kayaks, and a beautiful view.
We stated with our kids and the furry friend, the property was as described and sparky clean when we arrived the, Heather was very responsive and accommodating. We definitely return back another day another time till then adios!
I had a great week staying here with my boyfriend and our dog. The cottage is on the water and has beautiful views. I enjoyed sitting by the water and reading a book. So peaceful. The lake has a sandy bottom, and the sand bar goes out pretty far. We loved exploring the area and took trips to Pictured Rocks, Fayette State Park, Benny the Beard Fisher and Kitch-iti-kipi. The listing was very accurate. The cottage was very clean, and the kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. I loved how the cottage was dog friendly! There were food bowls, a food mat and bags outside to pick up after your dog. We had a great time and would book again!
Beautiful spacious cabin and property. Cabin was clean and well stocked with everything needed and more. The place fit 7 people and 2 dogs comfortably and the nightly beach bonfires were awesome, along with the stunning sunsets. Great communication with owner. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again. The only issue was the plumbing would get backed up now and again. But we imagine with all the showers, toilet flushing, etc. it overloaded the system a bit. We just gave it some time and everything worked great.
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, however there was an ongoing problem with the septic system that delayed one of our day trips. I wish there was a phone number that you could call in case of an emergency.
This was such a lovely place to stay! Various serene, comfortable and exceeded my expectations. The kitchen was well stacked with pots, pans, dishes, and condiments. We would definitely stay here again! Greatly appreciate this experience.
We enjoyed our stay! The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. It was very spacious for the two of us and our dog. Nice location for visiting nearby attractions.
Lovely cabin. It had everything we needed and is centrally located to different sights and restaurants. Beautiful view too, very peaceful. Only negative for me is that the water is too shallow to swim, but this was easily resolved by going to Roger’s Beach, which I highly recommend and is not that far away. Host was very helpful with my questions and very prompt with responses.
Great stay! The cottage is cozy and had everything we needed for our long weekend! Water was amazing - shallow with sandbars sprinkled in for hundreds of feet out! The kids (14, 12, 10 & 8) loved exploring, kayaking, going for a walk in the water and swimming. Our host, Heather was very responsive to any questions I had.Highly recommend - we will be back!
Awesome lakefront property, huge spacious cabin, amazing view of the lake, (lake is a giant wading pond - very shallow for about 50 yards - great for kids)Kitchen and grill were decent. AC was good.Only drawback was the bathroom and the water - no ventilation in bathroom, and there was a noticeable smell after taking a shower
Our stay at the Sunset Beach Cottage was very good. The cottage is well stocked with kitchen ware, furniture, towels and linens as advertised. The furniture was comfortable and the tv/internet were excellent. The cottage was clean and the check in and check out processes were reasonable and efficient. The sunsets were great. The lakeshore and lake are best for small children. The lake is shallow for hundreds of yards out from shore. This is better for walking in the water than for swimming or kayaking. The cottage is adjacent to the highway, but the yard on the lake side is large and allows some privacy along the very large water frontage. The well water has very high mineral content, typical of this area. We found the well water worked well for showers and laundry, however, we purchased water for drinking and cooking.In total our stay was very enjoyable and we are considering a return visit in the future.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lake is beautiful. Loved the kayaks. The amenities were great, but the cottage still maintained that rustic charm. We were very happy we were able to bring our dog. Check in and out process was very easy. Owner was very responsive and informative. We will definitely stay again.
