Amazing Cabin

I absolutely loved this house. It had everything needed to make it feel just like home - soft towels, a soft bed (with amazing pillows), a beautiful view from every room of the lake, kitchen fully stocked with all items needed to cook. I will totally stay there again and HIGHLY recommend it.

The house we had was very comfortable and well-stocked. The Freshwater Vacation team was always available and answered our questions promptly. And most importantly, they were very understanding and accommodating when we told them our car had broken down and we had to change our plans at the last minute. We are looking forward to returning to Michigan and renting with them again!
