We loved our week at the cottage this summer. It was the perfect, quiet, private place to reconnect. There was plenty of room for us and the kids. It was so so nice to spend quality time together without distractions. We used some of the games in the cabinet, the kids made bead necklaces and used the art supplies, we cooked together and played in the water every day. The kids loved the paddle boat and the fishing is great (especially in the inlet at the far right corner of the lake). Sturgis had a Walmart, Kroger, K-Mart and a cute little movie theatre. It took about 15 min. to run to town for food and a new bathing suit for our daughter. Town was far enough away that it felt like we were out in the country, especially at night with the bright stars shining through a dark dark sky...no noise or city lights to take away from the stillness of the night. We made family memories that will last forever. Hope we can come back next summer and enjoy this lovely little spot. It is very serene.
