We had a lovely stay at the cabin. The front porch is perfect for a relaxing moment of peace. There is a long staircase to the lake, but the clear, calm waters are worth the hike. The house is well stocked with games and activities for families. There is a large front yard as well.

Great Start To Our Summer

I do not think the pictures actually do this home justice. The views are amazing. There is so much space for kids and adults. The screened in porch was so amazing. The whole family loved swimming and using diving boards. The home was clean and stocked. Very happy with our experience. It was very private and relaxing. 5

Winter Weekend

The house is a great lake front house. We were here over a long winter weekend and so didn't make much use of the large screened in porch but did enjoy the beautiful views of the lake (and eagles in the trees out front).Host was easy to work with and responsive to all questions. Check in was super easy.

Beautiful lake

Nice house and beautiful views. I gotta be honest though and say those stairs to the lake were brutal for me. Lol Going down was fine but going up is a workout. Lol Great dock on the lake! Take a cooler and some lunch and enjoy a few hours lakeside.The row boat could use some new oars. The ones provided didn't seem to be the right ones but my husband made it work. Having a Meijer close was a plus.

Great family escape

This was our second summer staying on Big Whitefish lake. The property is perfect for our family of 9. The property has all the amenities needed, as well as some bonus items. The diving platform especially is always a hit with the kids!

Whitefish Lake is wonderful! Excellent dock, community raft with high dive, and cabin has wonderful large screened porch overlooking lake (where we spent most of our time when in the cabin). This lake is great for paddle boarding, swimming, fishing, and if you know someone with a powerboat, doing that!Could use some furniture upgrades (L-sectional in living room so lake view is maximized and current furniture is rather tired). We loved our week here--it went so fast and slow at the same time, if you know what I mean. Also courteous neighbors which is always a plus! Kitchen is very functional, although cabinets have almost too much in them that it can be a bit of a chore to get pots/pans out. Living room furniture is tired and could use a refresh--L shape sectional would make the most sense for seating and not blocking the view. Otherwise, I like that cottage felt "old school" in a good way.

Relaxing stay on the lake

This was our second time renting this house. Beautiful location that is conveniently located to Lake Michigan and Grand Rapids. Quiet neighborhood and surprisingly not a huge amount of boating activity on the lake, so you don’t have a constant noise of power boats. The owners are very responsive. Highly recommended.

Whitefish Lake

Cottage was roomy, with a huge screened porch that is shaded by trees, but still provides a nice view of the lake. There is a very nice dock and a neighborhood swim platform with diving boards. The playroom downstairs has a video game player for kids. Lake is crystal clear.

Overall, great place and location. Note that there is no a/c. House is right on the lake, which is clear. Dock is newer. Rowvoat and 2 kayaks, life vests, toys, all available. Inside very clean. Outside could have used a hose down (covwebs). Would stay here again, we enjoyed it!

Wonderful!

Beautiful lake home in a peaceful setting. Only 2 miles from the wedding we attended nearby. The house was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We enjoyed the kayaks on Big Whitefish Lake, which is clear and has a sandy bottom. The house is well-equipped, and the screened-in porch looking over the lake is fantastic. Excellent bird-watching, and our dog loved the place too! Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you, Patricia!

Paradise!

My family & I rented the cabin for a little family fun before the rat race of the school year begins. As soon as we walked through the door, everyone said, “Wow!” at the view. The lake is simply stunning! We enjoyed using the kayaks provided and had a blast jumping off the diving boards. My son & I even trotted down to the lake our first night to view the meteor shower. The stars were amazing! For the most part, everyone slept well. Please note that the bedroom that faces the lake has a thin mattress, but the other beds have the standard size.
