Perfect cottage for a weekend getaway. Loved the deck and the beach area.

LaVonne, oh, we do so love hearing that the cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway! You were a delight to work with, and we hope to see you back again. - Claire, FVR
We met our son from CMU here for a 4 day stay. We really enjoyed fishing and bonfires. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The lake was surprisingly quiet and we caught pike, bass, and bluegill right from the dock. Our youngest son loved playing in the sandy beach. We’ll definitely be back.

Mike, congratulations on the good fishing! There is not better feeling, right? We're glad that you stayed with us for your family gathering, and that the property worked well for everyone. We appreciate what conscientious guest you were, and we hope to work with you again. - Claire, FVR
This cute little cabin was awesome...right on the water and we had big plans that weekend. Unfortunately, I had to DJ a last minute wedding in Port Huron and we couldn't stay. We literally only spent the night sleeping there and that was it. Would love to come up & try again sometime. :-)
