Stayed for Memorial Weekend, the weather did not treat us well, but it was still a very relaxing time away from the city and with a beautiful lake view. If you enjoy fishing, you will def catch one every time very time you drop your pole in.

Great Location

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay at this cozy little lakefront cottage. My family stayed there every summer when I was growing up, so it was fun to return with my bride and enjoy the place for ourselves. The dock area is fantastic for quick water access and the ability to enjoy the lake at a moments notice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend anyone interested in staying here to book it as soon as possible!

Fun Trip at a Cabin in Sears, MI

Had a great time in this small cabin in Sears on Big Lake. Caught some fish, went to town, hungout, relaxed, peaceful, and quiet. It was a nice vacation. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a little cabin up north.

The cottage was an awesome stay with a beautiful view every morning. The pedal boat was a blast and the lake was enjoyable. Will definitely be coming back in the future.

A Vintage Northern Michigan Cottage Experience

This is a beautiful waterfront cottage with everything you need, all items well thought out, plus comfortable beds for sleeping. Very peaceful location near Evart, a quaint small town with a great walking trail and a fantastic used bookstore.

A cozy getaway...

The cabin has everything you could need and sits on a very quiet lake. Lin communicated everything very well and was easy to work with. The place was very clean! We used the paddle boat and fire-pit daily, did some fishing, and mostly just relaxed. I would absolutely stay here again.

Amazing and Affordable

For 87 a night, you don’t normally expect to get a cabin *on a lake*, complete with boats you can use, but this place has it. It also has a shed for bike storage. Has everything you need inside as well, including a wide variety of cooking spices lol. Host is incredibly attentive and accommodating. 20/10, would 100% recommend to anyone looking for an affordable vacation!

A little tight for 4 adults

The accommodations had everything and more. The owner anticipated every need in the kitchen, bathroom and things to do. The lake is clean and clear. Great fishing - caught pike and bass. Highly recommend the location.

The house was nice and was big enough for me and my aunt. The view was beautiful. Glad it wasn’t too warm at night don’t realize the house didn’t have air. There were a lot of spider webs

Cute, vintage. Enjoyed the lake view, and the quiet until Labor Day visitors filled the area. Good base for visiting family and friends in the area. Downside was the slope from the car to the cabin. Difficult for knees not in the best shape.

Our Getaway

We were amazed on how stocked it was, and we bought a lot of our own things to use. It’s quiet and peaceful and that’s exactly what we needed. I have been stressed out about work and my fiancé has been stressed out also. This is the kind of place to go to relax, there’s no WiFi so you can go fishing, boating, barbecue and have a bonfire. We had an amazing time.

Relaxing at the Lake

We had a great stay at Lin’s cottage. It’s nothing fancy and just the basics- but all we needed! It was a great opportunity for our little family to unplug and spend some time together. My son loved the paddle boat and looking at fish off the dock. We did an easy drive to Lake Michigan one day and enjoyed the fireworks on the lake. Lin was easy to communicate with and check in was super easy. Thank you! :)

Great price & we really enjoyed being right on the lake and had fun using the rowboat. It’s a nice clean lake with a bunch of fish in it. The cabin is super rustic as described so be prepared for no AC, no WiFi, and the interior has open wiring all over and didn’t feel clean enough to walk around barefoot. If you cook- most knives in the kitchen drawer looked rusty. It was not made clear that the garage you are instructed to park next to is not actually part of the property but owned by a neighbor. The garage was opened at times with people going in and out.

Just the basics

Just be aware there is no insulation in this place. If you go in the summer there are only fans for A/C, and you if you go in winter I saw only 1 heater for the whole place. Me and a buddy just needed somewhere to sleep each night while we were up riding motorcycles for the weekend, so it was fine for us, but I won’t be bringing my girlfriend here anytime soon. I have Verizon and only had one bar… would have been nice to see Wi-Fi offered.

A friend and I stayed here 6 nights & 7 days. As 2 ladies in our 70’s, the cabin was cozy with all the essentials for getting away from the rat race of the city, and technology distractions. It is rustic and simple, nothing fancy, but It’s peaceful, with two bedrooms, a bathroom with great hot water, all the kitchen essentials and a lake view that is unparalleled, with an outside firepit we used each night for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs. We used the paddle boat more than once. Quaint towns are nearby if you love history, including Cadillac, Clare and an Amish community. The hosts have a second lake house next door, (Lin & Robert) and were so very nice. They even gave us a ride on their pontoon boat. I would highly recommend this place, not only for the simplicity and serene atmosphere but because the hosts are so nice, which is so important! I’m from Texas and this was my first experience in Michigan, and I and my friend hope to be back.
