My daughter and I stayed at the Birmingham Bungalow for a week in mid-June. We wanted to have lake access during a visit to the Holly & Oxford, Mi areas. The cottage was beautiful - interior was so clean and beautifully remodeled. It had a very functional and extremely well-stocked kitchen so we were able to cook quite a few meals, store leftovers, and even host a friend for dinner. The views of Lake Tipsico are outstanding! Lake access was super easy with the dock and provided kayak and stand-up paddles. My 12-yo daughter was in the water every sunny day during our stay and the lake is not super busy, so it was safe for her to explore by kayak. I’d go out on a stand up paddle so she could use it as a base to swim from, too.The hostess, Lisa, has thought of everything one could need during one’s stay. The neighbors are also very friendly, and access to Hwy 23, M-59, Holly are just about 10 minutes in any direction. It was extremely peaceful there. I’d love to go back with my entire family and bring a boat to explore the lake even more.I highly recommend this rental to anyone who loves a great lakeside getaway and also likes to cook!
