This was just a great spot to stay! It was perfect for our party of 5 getaway. Everything was comfortable and clean. The view of the lake was beautiful. The neighbors we met we're super nice and helpful with any questions we had too. We used the paddle boat and swam. Just a lovely little home!

This cottage was the best place to stay for our daughter’s wedding at Thornapple Pointe golf course. Super cute, clean, and quiet. Kate was great and we would definitely stay again! If you have an event nearby and don’t want to stay at a hotel room- I would snatch this place up!

We had a great stay! The beds were very comfortable but the sofa bed in the living room wasn’t the easiest to manage. The property is well stocked and the location is lovely!

Fantastic lakefront cottage! The wall of windows overlooking the lake was beautiful. The lake was clear, we saw lots of fish, and the dock was great with easy walk-in stairs to the water. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
