We stayed here for 3 days while a family member was at University of Michigan hospital. It suited our needs. It was pet friendly so could bring our Maincoon cat along with us. The area felt safe. I would recommend.

Really nice cabin! We took a gamble as it does not list AC (and it ended up being 90 degrees when we were there!) but luckily there was a small window AC that worked wonderfully to cool the whole cabin down, so don’t be concerned about a lack of central AC. My only critique it it had a mild smell of smoke however the cabin itself still gets 5 stars as I think the guest in the next attached cabin was smoking but that is not the fault of the property. No smoking is posted everywhere.

Clean and cute!

My wife and I visit Ann Arbor often, so this time we decided to stay in a neighboring area. This was our first trip to Whitmore Lake - it was a darling sleepy town that I’m sure is teaming with life during the warmer months. The cottage is on a major road so if the door and windows are open it can get a bit noisy. But with door and windows closed it was perfectly quiet. The lake is across the street, but not sure where public access would be. It was a bit frosty for our visit. The cottage was perfect for the two of us and a little dog. There’s plenty of room and it’s cozy. Love the adorable bee theme. Clean and great for a few night get away. Easy drive to Ann Arbor! Is as listed - easy check in and check out.

Nice Little Cabin

The cabin was recently repainted, white on the outside, pale blue on the inside. It had a pleasant bee theme. It was small, kitchen on one side of the main room and couch and TV on the other side. To use the air mattress, we did have to move the furniture around. The bedroom didn’t have a door, so my husband and I moved one of the tension rods that had a curtain on it to the bedroom doorway and that was satisfactory. This is near the main street, so there were regular sounds of cars driving by and the water softening system could be loud, but ear plugs and an eye mask took care of those distractions. My husband and I are regular travelers,so we are used to supplying anything and everything we might need for a visit. The kitchen had skillets, mixing bowls, baking sheets… The stove had an oven. The refrigerator was 5 feet tall, small but complete. We were near to Brighton and Ann Arbor. Whitmore Lake also had a park for children and hiking right up the street, along with a disc golf course. If we had spent more time in Whitmore Lake, we may have taken advantage of the convenience store, and the small restaurants that were nearby. The lake was also right across the street, so we had a good view of that. We also took advantage of the fire pit that was in the front yard. A very nice little cabin. I’m not sure you could fit four people in comfortably, but if you’re just going to sleep there, this will work. I would pick it again.

The cottage was cute and fairly spacious. We had a few issues, which the host responded to and did his best. He also refunded us $100 for the inconvenience, which was the following: This unit has a very loud water pump that goes on at random times (like 6:30 a.m.) and runs for about an hour. It sounds like a washing machine and is located in the bedroom. The furnace is also extremely loud when it goes on, with clunking noises for the first 5 minutes, and then it goes quiet. I'd recommend staying in one of their other units. We also rented out Unit 2 and did not have these issues. Lastly, the lake was across the street, not on the property. The description never said it was waterfront, but I had assumed it was from the photos, which is on me.

Enjoyable stay

Overall enjoyable stay in a quaint little house in a quaint little town. Price accurately reflects the size and amenities. A couple small issues addressed with the host, who was immediately responsive. A for communication. Easy in and out. Only real issue was the large house water filter ran a cycle at 9p for an hour which made it not possible to go to bed. Host assured me they would address it for future tenants. Would reccommend for a single, a couple or maybe a couple with one child, just dont forget an air mattress!

Good representation that was accurate on VRBO. Easy quick contact with host. Liked having a kitchen. Not much happening around the neighborhood perhaps because it’s September, not was a short drive to Chelsea and Ann Arbor.
