We recently returned from staying at this clean and adorable cottage. We travel all over Michigan and always utilize VRBO and this cottage is right up at the top for cleanliness. Everything was perfect including the warm and sunny weather and warm water. We loved that the water is shallow and what felt like halfway across the lake. We loved having the kayaks to use as we enjoyed daily trips to explore and it was quiet and calm and beautiful. Shelly, who lives next door, was sweet and easy to talk to and offered to let us use her clothesline and garbage bin. I loved sitting on the back patio to watch the hummingbirds fight over her feeder. It was so relaxing and calm. Tom met us in person when we arrived and was so pleasant and easy to chat with. Oh, and the ducks who came 3 times a day to eat were the icing on the cake for me. They ate right from our hands the last 2 days we were there. I looked forward to that every day, and, in fact, our grandson said they would fit in our suitcase and wanted to take them home with us. I wish I could have! The only slightly negative thing I can say is that the water was a bit mucky and murky and debris constantly washed up to shore but it didn't stop us from swimming daily. If you go out away from the shore, the water was much better. I will definitely put this cottage at the top of my list to return to.
