The property is beautiful and peaceful. I like the openness and privacy. Has outside sitting area which we used especially the sunsets. It’s rural but close to food and shopping. Scenery going to different places was amazing. Would make a great trip in the fall. Cottage was cozy. Does have well water so suggest taking bottled water. The bed is only full size so was tight for 2 people. Air conditioning was amazing. Tv was small 32 inch would liked a little bigger but was not watching much. Would go again for sure.

We're sorry the cottage didn't meet your expectations. We live on site as well and will do what we can to correct problems with the cottage, including slow drains. While we are a place that is close to nature, when nature comes inside, just let us know and we'll also take care of that too.

The unit was infested with bugs. The warmer it got in there the more bugs. We had to move to another unit that smelled like sewer the whole time. she said she had to at some time replace the septic tank. in the mean time we had to bathe and wash with bottled water. Bought spray. bleach, candles. No wash clothes or hand towels or extra sheets?????

Terrific!

The Jazz Cottage at Lakeside Melodies was just what we were looking for. The place was sparkling clean and, although basic, had everything we needed. The resort had a cool vibe too. The owners were super responsive and super flexible when we asked whether we could pitch a tent or two out front so we could "rough it" but not too much. The lake is beautiful and the canoes were a lot of fun, as were the swim platform and the little fishing pier. We just relaxed and grilled out and laughed a lot. It is a special place on Earth.

Loved the place

I really do t want to praise this place and try and keep it the gem that it is. Loved the property family and I had a wonderful time. Was exactly as described and pictured. But totally undersold on the experiences. This place is great. Thank you both for a great stay and time.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr, 2020
We're sorry you had trouble with the hot water. The cottage has a 40 gallon electric water heater in it. We live on the property as well and had we known, we would have taken care of it right away. As described in our listing, we don't provide linens and towels but have them available for those that prefer to rent them from us, as we did with you. We try to keep our costs down as much as possible and the majority of our renters bring their own. We're sorry we didn't meet your expectations and try to be clear in our descriptions of the accommodations and that we are a quiet, lakefront, nature filled get away cottage, not a hotel service. Thank you for your feedback.

The lake and all of the amenities were great!

Spent the weekend swimming, fishing, cooking out and totally relaxing! It was great having the Meijer close by so that we could buy supplies, get organized and just enjoy. I absolutely loved looking at the stars while listening to the crickets..something I can't get at home! Will definitely come back when I can!

About the host

Hosted by Camp Blue Canoe

Host profile image
Hey there!

Welcome to Camp Blue Canoe and thank you for checking us out. We are the family behind this beautiful, nature filled getaway we call paradise! Our tribe, the LaGiglias and the Regans, is all in the family. Bustling with 4 adults and 7 kids between our two households, we understand the daily grind, the everyday challenges, and frankly... the need to sometimes just got out of dodge. The first time we walked this amazing 13 acres of Pure Michigan, we were completely sold. The rolling green hills, the waving forest trees, and the majestic Little Pleasant Lake instantly captured our family's hearts.

Our goal is to create that home away from home for families just like ours. We hope everyone staying at Camp Blue Canoe can wind down, take in the fresh air, and forget life for awhile. We are committed to making your stay as enjoyable and memorable as possible and creating a relaxing environment. Stay tuned, we have huge plans for this place and hope you will come along for the ride!

Cheers.... Salute.... Cent'Anni.... Céad Míle Fáilte,

John, Mel, Joe, & Sarah
Camp Blue Canoe

Why they chose this property

Escape to nature! With only one other house on the lake and no motor boats buzzing around, you are really out in nature with all the comforts of a cottage. We are also only 3 miles from Three Rivers where you can find lots to see, do, or buy supplies.

What makes this property unique

A quiet nature get-away without going too far away. :-)
