Enjoy the sunrise each morning at this comfortable family cottage, located at the west end of Big Platte Lake with 100' of sunny, sandy beach front. Located down a beautiful, private wooded road - away from all traffic and noise. Lake gradually deepens, so there is plenty of shallow water for safe play. Very special location - at the end of a private cul-de-sac backed by beautiful woods. Cottage has brand new kitchen and has an open dining/living room floor plan great for family gatherings. Kitchen is fully equipped to cook for your party! There is charcoal grill for any outdoor cooking you might have! This cottage is lovingly family-owned and maintained. In 2021 we completely replaced the kitchen. The cottage is comfortable and clean, but the star of this property is its location and private frontage on Platte Lake. Arguably the best spot on the lake! \* Pontoon is family owned and is not available for use or rent. \* Additional pet fee of $100 per pet. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95840000/95834100/95834083/cdc38713.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cavalier Cottage - PRIVATE WATERFRONT COTTAGE W/ HUGE DOCK AND 4 KAYAKS!

Beautiful lake views. Liked the very clean screened gazebo with plenty of comfy chairs to relax in as you view the lake. Lots of room to play on the lawn by the lake. Has a sandy beach. Plenty of chairs on the deck and by large fire pit. New kitchen is very nice. Not much lighting though. Could use more updating in the house, especially in bedrooms, but overall, a positive experience. ##### Carrie G.

This is the third time we have stayed at this cottage. It is close to the dunes and tubing/kayaking down the Platte River. We went to Frankfort for ice cream and to watch the sunset.(Such a cute little town!) We discovered Point Betsie beach on Lake Michigan and went rock hunting. All of this is within a 15 min drive. The cottage was clean with some new updates and has a sweet charm. The lake is shallow in front of the cottage (and warm the week we were there) and great for families with young ones. We would recommend highly! ##### Kim C.

No place to put clothes BR furniture a disaster. Bathrooms need to be cleaner and rugs in BR are really bad. Did not see one fire detector or carbon monoxide detector. Location fabulous, overall place ok not great. A bear came into yard and and a raccoon was able to enter through the disastrous windows.Laundry facility not great. Again for the price they are getting there are areas that need a lot of work. ##### Rebecca D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### wally g. 3 Oct 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Tradition It was fun to be in a home that has raised several generations of family. Wish we could have been there then. Booking process very graceful. Property was what was expected. Great location. In house resources, cooking, heating, towels, etc. are all there. Attention is needed with cleaning, paid a premium price for cleaning services, but there was plenty of leftover dust to share. The mold mildew odors are always present. Tried to open BR windows for fresh air, but they would not open. Fire Marshall might like to know that. Patching holes on walls and a coat of paint would better justify the price point charged. ##### wally g. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Suzanne G. 20 Aug 2018 #### Not well kept. Very disappointed. Should not be rented. Cluttered, not clean. No towels till we found them in the dryer on Monday. Rugs in bathrooms dirty. Sheets on lower bunks used, we washed them. Sticky kitchen floor. Dirty carpet, we all had black feet. Mattress on queen bed should be replaced. Fans are filthy. 4-slice toaster only works for 2 slices. Seems to be a family retreat that no one takes care of, just rents. We had to ignore so much negativity as we were tied to this rental with no alternative, We traveled 500 miles expecting a nice place to stay. Can't imagine VRBO advertising this place posting POSITIVE reviews. ##### Suzanne G.

The house was clean, comfortable and just what we needed! Close to the fishing sites, able to bring our own boats to fish the lake or do some kayaking. We met the owners the last morning of our stay and they were super friendly. Would highly recommend and will be looking to book again next year! ##### Tina L. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Patti S. 3 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mostly Great I really enjoyed staying here. It has a very cozy vibe with some cool mid-century touches. I appreciate that this is a family home and liked seeing the family photos and mementos. There were definitely some things that could have used freshening up but none of that really bothered us at all as we are fairly laid-back people. The beds and furniture were comfy, and really as long as I can relax and sleep comfortably, I’m good. Only a few small things I think could be improved: We couldn’t get the dishwasher working and hand washing dishes is not my favorite thing to do on vacation . The sponge provided to wash dishes was quite old and unappealing. There were no toiletries provided, which wasn’t something we needed but are used to seeing at VRBO properties. A set of newer towels for guests would be appreciated, as well as some basic toiletries as I have come to expect that from VRBO rentals even if I don’t usually use them. Again, these are all pretty minor issues and were easily overcome by the wonderful location. ##### Patti S.

Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven M. 11 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Beachfront The cottage is open and well-kept. Lots of windows, all of which can be opened, which makes for very pleasant cross-ventilation. The kitchen is very well furnished and well organized. There are even labels on the drawers telling you what's in them. The beachfront is beautiful. The yard is mostly lawn, but there are trees scattered about, and also lawn furniture. There's even a screened-in gazebo. The lawn fades to sand near the lake. The lake bottom is all sand, even right next to the shore. It gets deeper very gradually, so you have to walk out about 100 feet (the end of the dock) for an adult to have room to swim. The wind is usually off-shore, so the shorefront is usually quite calm, even on days when the prevailing wind is quite strong. The lake itself is also beautiful, surrounded on all sides by heavily wooded small hills. Just the spot for a very relaxing getaway. ##### Steven M.
