We had a lovely stay at the cabin. The front porch is perfect for a relaxing moment of peace. There is a long staircase to the lake, but the clear, calm waters are worth the hike. The house is well stocked with games and activities for families. There is a large front yard as well.

We enjoyed the kayaks and fire pit. The screened in porch was nice to sit in and look out at the lake. The one drawback was the 79 steps to the dock. We got lots of exercise this weekend!!

Whitefish Lake is wonderful! Excellent dock, community raft with high dive, and cabin has wonderful large screened porch overlooking lake (where we spent most of our time when in the cabin). This lake is great for paddle boarding, swimming, fishing, and if you know someone with a powerboat, doing that!Could use some furniture upgrades (L-sectional in living room so lake view is maximized and current furniture is rather tired). We loved our week here--it went so fast and slow at the same time, if you know what I mean. Also courteous neighbors which is always a plus! Kitchen is very functional, although cabinets have almost too much in them that it can be a bit of a chore to get pots/pans out. Living room furniture is tired and could use a refresh--L shape sectional would make the most sense for seating and not blocking the view. Otherwise, I like that cottage felt "old school" in a good way.

Beautiful lake

Nice house and beautiful views. I gotta be honest though and say those stairs to the lake were brutal for me. Lol Going down was fine but going up is a workout. Lol Great dock on the lake! Take a cooler and some lunch and enjoy a few hours lakeside.The row boat could use some new oars. The ones provided didn't seem to be the right ones but my husband made it work. Having a Meijer close was a plus.

Great Start To Our Summer

I do not think the pictures actually do this home justice. The views are amazing. There is so much space for kids and adults. The screened in porch was so amazing. The whole family loved swimming and using diving boards. The home was clean and stocked. Very happy with our experience. It was very private and relaxing. 5

We really liked this rental. We came on a Saturday and it was pretty busy with the neighbors but things calmed down over the week which was nice. The screened porch was great and we used it a lot. One thing to be aware of which is not a criticism it's just how it is, that the swimming platform in front of the property is not owned by the property (it's been upgraded from the pictures in the listing and there are two diving boards on it and it's really nice). The only negative is that since anyone can use it from the nearby houses it seemed like it was used a lot that people would boat up to it and hang out on the platform. Plus it wasn't ideal because it was right in front of the house and where you would swim, but we like to just have things quiet. It was a nice rental and things were clean. The water to swim was clean and clear and very shallow for a while so it would be good for younger kids.

Winter Weekend

The house is a great lake front house. We were here over a long winter weekend and so didn't make much use of the large screened in porch but did enjoy the beautiful views of the lake (and eagles in the trees out front).Host was easy to work with and responsive to all questions. Check in was super easy.

Great place to stay

I was impressed with all the things not mentioned in the listing! They had a PS4 my 7 year old played. A toddler bed, also a foam bumper to put on the queen bed if you wanted to cosleep with your little. Toys for my toddlers. Fishing rods for my 7 year old. I brought life vests but they had them there. High chair and pack n play if you have a baby. The stairs up from the lake were a workout but it helped tire my kids out. I have a 1, 2 and 7 year old and I definitely think it was well suited for all age groups, even just adults with no kids. The water is shallow around the dock which was nice with littles and made fishing easier. The bath tub is HUGE which my kids love. Overall it was a great place to stay, and I honestly have no complaints.

This is a special place situated in the woods with a relaxing beautiful screened porch that overlooks the lake. We've spent our summers playing in this lake for decades.
