Lovely lake cottage

Great place to stay - cottage was cozy, spotless and well stocked with everything we needed. Host was easy to communicate with about check-in and a few other q’s we had during our stay. Boat launch was just down the road and we were able to dock our boat across the street the whole week. Lovely lake to boat and swim in.

What a fine lake!

The Cottage was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The kayaks, paddle boards and corn-hole set were a bonus and we swam every day. The close proximity to the Gull Lake golf courses was a win for our foursome. Thank you, Zach, for making our stay seamless!

Beautiful cabin, very quick communicative host, and very clean. I once had a question late in the evening and received a response within a couple minutes. The water view is beautiful, and a great place to see the stars at night by the campfire

We had a fantastic girls’ weekend on Fine Lake. The property was super clean and well-appointed. We had a great time floating in the lake and using the paddle boards. Zach was an excellent host and super responsive. His recommendation for a pizza spot for our first night was great. And bonus, you can get it delivered on Grubhub. Definitely recommend for a weekend a family or a group.

Very nice spot on the lake

The place was very clean and the location was very nice. Kids weren't fans of swimming in the lake just due to lots of seaweed. We didnt have a boat but that woulda definitely made it a funner time. There was fort custer recreation area about 15 minutes away that has a lovely free sandy beach that we enjoyed. Nice upstairs loft was perfect for my son and his 3 teenager buddies. Good fishing in the lake. Would recommend as we enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay with the fully stocked house and all the amenities! Zach was a great host and very quick at communicating, as well as willing to assist when needed. We did recommend stairs to get to the kayaks & paddle boards, as it was slippery due to all the seaweed. A boat would have made the visit much better for fishing, as not a lot of good catches along the shoreline. We also lost our last full day of being in the water due to the lake spraying chemicals, but not the host’ fault. We would definitely come back to stay. Thanks again!
