Our group was in the area for about a week to work at Camp Hiawatha. This house was perfect for our stay. The house was about 5 minutes from the Camp entracne and had plenty of room for our group. The house is very well equipped, comfortable and clean. Check-in was easy and the owner was quick to respond to our questions. This was a great rental. Highly Recommend.

Exceeded Expectations

My family spent 7 days at the lake house and we were all very pleased with houses and location. House was clean and in very good repair, amenities were exceeded details on the web sight, check in was keyless and easy. We were greeted by a dozen chocolate chip cookies on the kitchen table that lasted all of five minutes. Sylvia was quick to respond to any questions we had and the neighbors were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend the property.

Swan Lake House was amazing!

This house was not just a house, it felt like home the minute we walked in. This owner had everything imaginable to make the place feel so comfortable and she didn’t miss anything! The sheets and pillows on the beds were a great quality, the towels for the beach, and in the bathrooms were not cheap and thin, they were big and fluffy, There was plenty of paper products and other items in the kitchen for us to use in case we forgot something! This home had so much character and had so much to do for all ages from 22 to 60! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to Get back there again next year!

Beautiful home, Lovely spot

This home was absolutely perfect for our family...11 of us traveled here to have a visit with my son and family who lives close by. So quite frequently there were 14 people wandering about during our week-long stay. The kitchen is fully functional with large enough pots to cook for my crowd--and even stocked with basic supplies. The available activities perfect for ALL the ages--fishing, kayaking, bikes, and sand toys for outside...and blocks, books, and games for inside. We even made use of the gas grill for a family steak dinner one night. The beds were comfortable. The whole house is nicely decorated, and quite comfortable.

Great family getaway and memories

This was our first time vacationing with both of our kids and their families and it was perfect. We had 5 adults and 4 children ages 3-9. The set up of the house allowed my husband and I to be on the main floor, my daughter and family in the basement, and my son and family to be upstairs which worked well for us. Booking and check in was easy. Plenty of toys and games for the kids and well stocked with most anything you would need. Great communication from Sylvia. While there, we enjoyed fishing, kayaking, playing in the sand and water, and a campfire with s’mores. We saw swans come around the dock a couple of times. We went to the Lake Michigan coast and enjoyed the farmers market, lunch at Clementines and beach time at South Beach in South Haven, a dune buggy ride, lunch at the Southerner, and paddle wheel excursion in Saugatuck. Great time with the family.

This was our 2nd year at the Swan lake cottage. We love it here! We sat on the deck and enjoying the beautiful view each day. The cottage was very roomy and clean. It was a well stocked kitchen. The small grocery store was walking distance down the road and had everything you could think of. We had a great week!

About the host

Hosted by Sylvia Aukeman

Host profile image
My husband and I flip houses and we saw this cottage and after updating it decided to keep it and rent it out sparingly

Why they chose this property

It is out in the country. Fields and meadow across from cottage/house so very quiet lake. It is fairly close to our home so we enjoy it all year

What makes this property unique

It is an all sports lake but not very busy which makes it a gem. Cottage is more like a house
