Our family of 4 plus a dog spent a week at this cottage. We found the location relaxing and enjoyable. As the pictures show, the property is large and lakefront. The water (in August) was warm and fairly shallow for several yards, allowing my children plenty of space to play in the water. The lake was clear and clean. The bottom was a bit rocky, but we wore water shoes and were fine. The boat traffic on the lake was light, allowing us ample opportunity to canoe and to enjoy the peacefulness of the lake. We spent many hours on the deck, enjoying the sunset and the beautiful view. The house is situated far enough from the road that you do not hear or see traffic. The road has fairly light traffic, making it fine for walking and running. My children and I walked the dog every morning and saw only 1 or 2 cars during the entire walk. The house is also 2.0 miles from the TC-Suttons Bay bike trail. We were able to run along the trail, and to bike up to Suttons Bay. The trail is recently paved and very well kept (with a doggie water bowl at mile 10!). The proximity to TC and Suttons Bay is also a bonus, making it easy to drive or bike to either location.
The house itself is simple and clean. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, etc., coffee maker, toaster, microwave, dish and hand soap and plenty of towels. The bathrooms and bedrooms had clean towels, linens, and plenty of extra blankets. The house also had plenty of fans. The owner (Matt) was friendly, and available when we had questions. The only two drawbacks were that the driveway is a bit steep and is rock/dirt, and that made it difficult for a 2 wheel drive SUV. The house also does not have internet. If our summer travels take us back to this part of the state, we would stay here again. We thought the price was very reasonable, and would recommend this place to others.
