Hosts were very helpful and easy to work w/ as they stay next door. The cottage is nice and definitely cozy, good for 4 adults and a couple kiddos. The cottage was not the cleanest but fine as we spent most of our time outdoors. The internet was out and the tv did not work. Other than that we had a great time at big star lake.

August 2024 stay
Nothing fancy but a great little cottage at an even better location. The lake was great for the grandkids as the lake stays shallow for quite a distance from shore. The next door neighbor was great and let the grandkids use his dock, swim platform, kayaks and kid toys/floats. The TV was out when we arrived and within a couple hours a new one was there. WiFi wasn’t the greatest but didn’t rent it to watch TV constantly. Used my phones hotspot to cover that.

Cute older cottage
Looking for a place by the water to relax after finishing a Master's Degree, this cute cottage fit the bill. This location is also perfect for taking day trips to hiking destinations (Sleeping Bear Dunes, Ludington State Park). The property manager was very responsive regarding concerns.

Quiet spot by the lake - could use some attention to cleaning…
Overall if you want a quiet, relaxing cottage by the water and you aren’t super finicky about the below listed issues, it’s a great retreat. I would go again. But I’m laidback about stuff. Hubby not so much…
This is definitely off the beaten path. At least a half hour to any fast food or meijer or Walmart. Make sure you are well stocked on the essentials. There are a few very small stores about 15 minutes away (think family dollar and plumbs). Also be very well stocked on drinking water as the water is the color of very weak coffee and has a strong odor. You will smell like a lake out of the shower. I packed extra plastic plates and silverware and paper towels as well.
The main area was fairly clean. The couch with a pullout is pretty beat, the linens old and some stains but seemed clean. Someone else’s underwear were under the bed (did not check if they were dirty or clean 😂) as was someone else’s headband in the bathroom. The beach chairs were rough. Two had cracks and the screen door fell off. Can’t recall if the loft is listed as a sleeping area but it was absolutely littered with dead bugs, spiderwebs and some used looking linens in the eaves. That part actually pushed my limits of chill. Of course with children they wanted to climb up but I encouraged them not to due to the dead bugs and spiders. It has a air mattress so I assume it is counted as sleeping space 🤷♀️ 🤢 and the shower curtain also pushed my boundaries. I don’t think a frat house curtain could be dirtier and more mildewy.
Host seems to live next door. The WiFi is from the neighboring house so it works but doesn’t stream the best. We ran several devices and were even able to do some remote video calls for work although we had to park close to the neighbor and sit in the car to do so.
It was not crazy expensive and it was the ONLY place available so I am not complaining. I simply cataloging so future guests know what to expect.
It’s cute, close to the water, doesn’t stink, there’s a sandy beach with some rocks near the shore. Water seemed pretty clean and the kayaks and paddleboat were a bonus. Overall if they cleaned the corners this would easily be a five star quiet retreat.

Great location (Just needs a little love)
My husband and 2 young kids had a great time at this little 2 bedroom cottage! Overall our stay was pretty good. The lake was beautiful and beach area was really nice with a fire pit for relaxing fires. The only complaints would be that the cottage needs a really good deep cleaning. The decor on the walls showed layers of dust on them, the sheets needed to be replaced as they were worn/stained, and the windows look like they hadn’t been cleaned since the winter. Also, the bathroom pump scared us half to death the first time we flushed the toilet! With some love this cottage could be really great as the size and location were great!

Small but comfy. Nice setting
The cottage is small but cozy. Perfect for 2 people. I wouldn't put more than 4 people in it. Beautiful lake setting. Neighbors very close all around. I think it would be noisy in the summer. Cottage could use beach towels, kitchen towels and dish clothes, more plates, bowls etc. It is minimal on kitchen utensils and wear. Kitchen appliances are fine.. Nice coffee pot.. it was nice not to have to buy paper products.. Beds are comfy. It would be great if the loft mattress was something other than a blow up mattress. The sofa needs cleaning but all other furniture is nice. Outdoor furniture,fire pit, beach are great. I'd bring my own pillows next time. The cleaning fee seems a bit much for the size.of the place. All in all we'd rent this little gem again. It's not fancy but its comfy and has the basics.

Stayed in September
The poop weather was of course not the homeowners fualt ❤️ Location is beautiful! Perfect for a private beach day the beach is perfect for little kids it’s shallow and they can play without you worrying the cottage is super cute with even additional bed up on a loft I didn’t know about ! The literal only problem we had was cleanliness and supplies we had to go buy toilet paper dish soap and garbage bags the toilet had a hard time flushing with a broken plunger where the plunger was located was absolutely disgusting this is my 3rd Vrbo and maybe I got lucky with the first two actually hiring a company to clean they were immaculately clean. The knife block was filled with dust and they stated for us to put our laundry in a basket before we left we just had to pile it up because there wasn’t one like I said perfect beautiful little cottage just need to work on cleaning it better I stayed a week and was supplied one garbage bag I used the first day I got there. I have two kids so I didn’t expect to have to take them during covid to grocery shop for supplies

Right on the beach - Could have been cleaner
The little cottage was cozy and had a small private beach. The paddle boat and kayaks were a nice touch. The bed was small but comfortable. Unfortunately we had to do quite a bit of cleaning when we arrived to make it liveable though (floors needed swept, shower needed cleaned). We also had to deal with a lot of gnats in the cottage. Was OK for the price but we would look elsewhere for accomdations if we return to the area.

Great lake cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at Mike's cottage. It is very small (aka cozy), but worked perfectly for 6 of us. We spent most of our time outside anyway. Towels and linens were provided, but you'll probably want extra towels. Especially with frequent post-swimming showers. The water heater is small (as stated in his welcome packet) so you'll need to stagger showers. The lake access was just a few steps away. It was great to enjoy morning coffee down by the water listening to the loons. The kids spent all day each day in the water playing, floating, kayaking, or on the paddle boat provided. (You will need to bring your own life jackets.) We fished off the end of the dock, which was somewhat inconvenient because the water is very shallow and the boats docked don't allow much space to cast, but we still caught a 14 inch bass! Mike was very responsive through the whole booking process. I would definitely recommend as a place to unplug and get away!

My family of four had a fantastic time. This is our 5th time renting in various spots in Michigan and this has been our favorite. Everything was comfortable and clean. The beach was perfect for planning in all day. We had sunset campfires a couple nights. We went kayaking and hiking in the National Forest. Neighbors were friendly and Mike was very accommodating and easy to work with. We would definitely book again.
