Rustic cottage, perfect for a summer getaway
This is the perfect place to enjoy summer sun on a lake. We stayed during the week and the lake and neighborhood was quiet, rarely any boats on the lake. Great to kayak around. House is typical up north cottage but the portable AC unit and washer/dryer were nice amenities.

Great place with a great view! We had a great time in this cozy little cottage on the lake. It was a perfect spot for relaxing by the water and fishing off the pier. Our friends had two young kids with them and they had a blast swimming in the lake right off the pier - it was nice and shallow for them to enjoy it. The neighbors are pretty close, but they were all very nice. We also brought a small boat that we were able to tie up to the dock. One of the bedrooms had a very funky smell to it, but other than that it was a great little place. I would recommend it! The sun room was great to enjoy the view with a morning coffee or cozy up on the couch if it ends up raining and you cannot be outside. Thanks for a great place!

Great Location and Property
Everything was great. The house has its own lake front, and my kids greatly enjoyed how easy it was to fish off the dock.
The house is fully equipped and accommodated the 5 of us perfectly. It's close to a lot of great northern Michigan locations, and less then 10 minutes from downtown Kalkaska should you need anything

Lovely Cottage
Comfortable space for a family and perfect location for day trips in the area. Well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. Didn't need the A/C but we did use the space heater. We only used 1 of the 2 kayaks but it was easy to find gear in the boat house. Note: property is low-lying and yard may have standing water after a heavy storm.

Fishing was good
The cabin served its purpose. There was a musty smell as soon as we walked in. The grass needed cut and the beach for my 6 yr old granddaughter needed to be cleaned up. The cabin definitely needs updates especially the bathroom. The fishing was good and lake shallow. The living room was nice and so was the view. The portable air conditioner did not help keep it cool in back bedroom. My granddaughter enjoyed fishing and swimming.

Cottage
Cottage needed some TLC. Black mold on back of cottage and door, also on garage. Blown in insulation visible outside and in kitchen. Main bathroom needs help. Shower is so small if you are tall or a larger person you will have issues plus backsplash by the sink is coming off. Does NOT compare to other cottages near by.

There is no mold. There was mildew on the exterior of the storm door I will assume your speaking of. It's in norther Michigan and on a lake. Go figure. Yes the shower is only 9sqft. Fine for most tight fit for larger individuals. How would you know the comparison? In your rental inquiry you asked what there was to do in the area which implies you have never be to any sounding cottages. My family uses the "cottage" and loves it. Its not a resort! Also, Why did you rearrange all the kitchen cupboards and move all our trinkets on the shelves?

Very comfortable, cozy cabin. Love knotty pine paneling. Heater was needed at night, it rocked!
I mention the next two minor things so perhaps they could be corrected.
Only difficulty was finding the username/password for WiFi. Eventually discovered speaker looking thing on top shelf was router. I, and many others, thought router was box on floor. Perhaps check-in instructions could be clearer on location.
There were only 3 pillows with cases for a cabin that sleeps 7. There were many pillows with shams - decorative and not intended for your resting your head in my view.
Finally, not surprised there were cameras on the exterior, but the fact that they followed you as you walked, I found especially creepy.

I cleaned the cabin after you stay and there were more then 3 pillows. We do loose pillow's through out the rental season do to theft. best I can do is replace them when I notice it. Cameras are motion censored. They are a must to protecting my property. I it not a live feed it is just a recording. I need to be able to prove damage and theft. Every store we shop in have cameras watching us.

4 night family trip w/ 2 kids
This is a beautiful little spot with a wonderful walk out beach and dock for kids. My 4YO loved jumping off dock into shallow water, and our 9mo old loved playing in the sand. Kayaks were nice, lake is quiet, got a little busier on Sat. Cottage was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable long weekend(kitchen utensils, towels, pillows, blankets, TP, life jackets, firewood, etc.). We did two day trips to TC, straight drive to TC in around 30min. My wife and I both agreed, this place would be perfect if the beds weren’t so old, creaky when rolling over, and overall uncomfortable. It was hard for us to get a well rested sleep even after long days on TC bay beach in the sun when we should have just been able to pass out at the end of the day. I slept on the couch in the sun room two nights. We would wake up pretty groggy, which on vacation it’s nice to get solid rest. The sunroom was amazing, the views on the lake were breathtaking. Honestly would recommend this place to anyone and everyone because it was an awesome stay, our only plight were the beds and how close you are to other rentals/neighbors. We had two different sets of people at one neighboring rental during our stay. Both were kind rental neighbors, if you’re looking for being remote or feeling secluded this place would not be for you. Your stay could be hindered by neighbors as you’re literally right next to each other. Patrick(host) always responded promptly to any questions I had. Overall loved our stay!

Great Lake, cabin could use some updates
Overall it was a nice family vacation. The all sports lake wasn't overcrowded, the fishing was good, and water was great for swimming.
The cabin served it's purpose with just a few hiccups. Unfortunately the refrigerator didn't work so we had to live out of cooler and lost a few perishables. (I'm sure it's fixed now as we alerted the owners upon us leaving since we didn't want to deal with it while on vacation.) The bikes listed in the description were nowhere to be found, but the kayaks were perfect in the lake. The dock is good for a shallow draft boat, since we don't own one we use it for swimming instead. (I made the mistake of jumping off of it before realizing the water depth and hurt my ankle... that's my own fault!)
With a few updates, this really could be an amazing rental. Besides the refrigerator, the full bath could use a renovation as the shower is small and there seems to be a patch covering a hole in the floorpan, and one of couches had an odor. (Either a prior renter had a pet or it got wet. )
In the end, we had fun... The campfires were nice, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, the lake was great, and it's around 40 minutes to get to Traverse City. The price point was a little higher since it was the July 4th weekend, but it appears the normal price is about right for what included.
Thank you for the stay!
