This was mine and my husband's 5th stay at this rental! We love this place so much. We have brought our Cane Corso with us for the last 3 stays. It is so relaxing and quiet and peaceful. The view off the deck is gorgeous and has a gate at the stairs so our dog can sit next to us while we enjoy a cocktail watching the lake and the sunset. We also love taking her on the fishing boat over to the islands where she can swim and get out all her energy. The property is just as it is pictured. I love the open lay out and the kitchen! This place is one of a kind! Neighbors on both sides are also very friendly and the area is quiet. Love it so much!

We were looking to relax, and we did. We will say the lake was disappointing because it is over wrought with weeds. However, the house was amazing! Very homy, very clean, it had everything we could possibly imagine! Sherry and Mark were wonderful and couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. The neighbors were very nice too! Frankenmuth is close, we recommend going (don't bring pets) and so is a really great Mexican restaurant called Don Felipe.

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Morris

Host profile image
We purchased this "dream" cottage to be able to have a place close by to enjoy some leisure time, since we both work a lot of hours. One of my gifts is hospitality and my husband loves to fish, and we wanted to pass on that love and gift to others, so we decided to share our dream with you!

Why they chose this property

Our property is so special & unique. We stayed in a VRBO many years ago, at the suggestion of a family member. We realized that staying at a real home, was more than a vacation, it was almost like we experienced living in the areas we visited! Sometimes we were just as happy enjoying the home, as we were running all over being a tourist and sightseeing! We were definitely more rested at the end of a vacation, and now anywhere we travel, we find a home to stay in. When we bought our own little cottage, we decided the place we loved visiting the most was Hawaii! So we created a little dream cottage with Hawaiian touches everywhere. The peace and feeling of complete joy we get every time we are at our little cottage, with the Aloha spirit, is a gift we wanted to share! We hope you will fall in love with it too, and that it will replenish your spirits with that true vacation you need!

What makes this property unique

The peacefulness of being able to just jump on the aqua cycle and go out on the lake early in the morning, or as the sun sets. There are so many places you can go on Murphy Lake. You can ride around the whole lake, or just go find a cove, sit quietly and watch for beavers, herons, or eagles to come by. Catch fish right from the dock, or sit by the fire or read a book on the lanai. You won't want to go anywhere, but if you do, the charming antique stores in Millington are close by, or the most desired vacation spot in Michigan, Frankenmuth, little Bavaria, with something fun happening EVERY weekend all year long!
