About this cottage rental

It's the setting of our small and unassuming cottage on the beach that makes this a real treat. Roasting marshmallows under a star-filled sky, canoeing calm waters in search of the next big fish, lounging in the hammock while reading, hearing the haunting loon's call, or chilling out on the deck as the sun slowly sets, THESE are the real standouts. If you want to get away from the hubbub and enjoy the outdoors at a small lakefront cottage, then check it out!

Two bedrooms overlook the lake at this uncomplicated and simple cottage. It has one full bathroom, an airy dining room that opens to an outdoor deck, and a kitchen outfit with '60's appliances. It's cute.

We've filled the cottage with board games and a 'retro' tv that only plays dvd's and VHS tapes. Sorry, no cable or wifi here!

If you are looking for a tranquil setting on a largely undeveloped lake, with 75 feet of private water frontage on a sandy beach, then our 'Camp Wannabe' is the place where you'll 'want to be' ! Included in the rental is a two person sit-on-top kayak.

THE AREA:
You are crossing into the Upper Peninsula- an area known for its wild scenery, stretches of beautiful beaches, and bordered by three of the greatest lakes in the world!

Right out your front door is the scenic all-sports Brevort Lake- known for its fishing, wildlife and boating.

This lake is largely undeveloped, as Hiawatha National Forest accounts for more than 65% of the lake frontage, which adds to the serenity. The surrounding Hiawatha National Forest is larger than 1 million acres- great habitat for bald eagles, deer, and even moose.

Brevort Lake is a haven for walleye, perch, pike, and bass, if fishing is your thing. But traditional 'power' boating is an option, along with kayaking or wind-surfing.

Nearby, are hiking and biking trails such as the North Country Trail, the Sand Dunes Cross Country Ski/Hike Trail, and easy access to miles of groomed ORV trails.

If you want to get to the 'Big Lake', then the dunes and beaches along US-2 are 5 minutes away. These are a hot spot for summertime swimming and sun bathing.

Camp Wannabe is the best of both worlds!

Relaxing and cozy cottage on the lake. It’s beautiful, bathroom updated and beds are comfy. Just enough space for our family. Highly recommend.

My family and I loved exploring the lake and surrounding area. The weather was variable (because Michigan), and the lake is big enough to get choppy in windy conditions. We enjoyed a drive up scenic US-2, played board games, and schooled our kids (9 & 11) on the use of a VCR. The listing is accurate and the property is well maintained. We were pleasantly surprised there was a double kayak that we could use. The birds and fish were beautiful and abundant. The water was warm, and the bottom of the lake is sandy at the property. I didn't realize how shallow the whole lake was (that's on me), and had my kids been younger, it would have been ideal. The water is only 12-18 inches for quite a ways, though the duck population made the edge an itchy place to be. My husband and I were in the water repeatedly to launch and dock our john boat, and we were fine. The kids had a blast splashing around and climbing the dune across the lake. The cottage itself is set on a turn, just off an access road, and it's location, position, and neighbors made it feel far more secluded than a lot of the other properties we saw on the same lake. We were able to do some stargazing on clear nights, and the skies were stunning. The property owners were responsive, generous, and Camp Wannabe gave us great memories!

We really enjoyed our stay at this place. The property was clean and had all of the amenities we needed for our week-long stay. The views of the lake at dusk were spectacular. We enjoyed getting out on the kayak to explore the warm waters of the lake. It felt a bit like stepping back in time to a simpler time. Easy to get to, easy to get to other places in the area, and reasonably priced. I would go back - the Upper Peninsula is a very special place. Thank you for an enjoyable and cozy stay.

This was our second time on the property. It was the best week of the year for our family. Everything was very well cleaned for our arrival. In terms of cost and value, this place can't be beat. Neither neighbor was there, so we had complete privacy. Our kids LOVED everything. The beach, the yard, it's all so cozy. If you don't mind things being just a little rustic, this is the place for you. If you are looking for fancy arrangements, you'll be better served paying more (quite a bit more from what I've researched) somewhere else. We were not communicated how to get into the property beforehand, and it caused quite a bit of anxiety on our long drive to the UP. Tried calling, writing and texting a couple days prior, and did not get a response. Once owner was in cell range, he was very responsive.

Brevort Lake is absolutely beautiful, and the location of this cottage is perfect! Quiet, serene, peaceful, beautiful... we absolutely LOVED being outside when we could (pending weather). The fire pit was great and the property gives lots of room to roam. Use of the owner's kayak was a bonus as well. Really feels like you're in the middle of nowhere as it's off a dirt road with few neighbors (yet only a 20-30 minute drive from civilization). We hoped to get away from reality and enjoy God's creation, and this location delivered for sure. However, we were disappointed with the cottage itself. After a description and reviews of cleanliness, it was troubling to find that it wasn't that way. The bathroom and kitchen in particular were bothersome. Uncomfortably so. One thing to note for those with children - the gas heater is an open/stand up unit in the main living area. Also, there is (approx) one foot high open step/ledge from the kitchen to living room. Overall, communication with the owner was great and they answered any questions and helped with the surrounding area. Definitely a quaint little space with a beautiful location, but not as cozy as expected.

Brevort Lake is a great place to fish, kayak, boat, or just relax to while hearing the waves hit the shore. Camp Wannabe is a great setting with nice sandy beachfront, large yard. The cottage has everything you need. Only gave 4 star rating because the bathroom could use some updating. Would recommend and stay again

The cabin has a beautiful open view of Brevort Lake. The water is pretty shallow so you need to use the kayak to find deeper water. The 2-person kayak has one paddle and was a nice way to explore a little bit more of the lake. The cabin came with a charcoal grill and all the things needed to use it. The cabin itself is small and perfect for a family of 3 or 4-5 adults. There are a good amount of blankets supplied if it gets cold at night. I’d recommend bringing extra towels if you have 3 or more people. Overall, this was just what we were looking for. A peaceful place to experience a slower pace of life for the week and only a 20 minute drive from Lake Michigan beaches.

Wonderful place to get away from life. Quiet, peaceful escape. Close to small town humanity if one needs human interaction. Some stains on ceilings - roof may be leaking. Bathroom needs updated with bigger water heater. Window screens are not fine enough to keep nats out. Overall, enjoyed three weeks of solitude.

First of all the lake is beautiful and shallow and perfect for swimming with kids. You should know that you are right next to neighbors on both sides and will not have any privacy whatsoever. The house was fine, rustic with very small bedrooms. So small we had to put our suitcase in the car after we unpacked. Not a problem for us, but FYI. Our main complaint was the bathroom, and really the shower. The shower is rough, like hunting cabin rough or a public shower at a campground. Also if traveling with kids or if you like to do things on the lake bring a canoe or kayak with you. We love the UP and had a great time exploring, but we overall disappointed with the property.

We had an amazing family vacation, filled with really special memories. Our three and one year old were in heaven the entire time. The personal beach area is nice and our kids played in the sand and beach nearly everyday we were there. The fire pit was the perfect spot for my wife and I after put our kids to bed. There is a small gas station/grocery store about 5 minutes away if you need anything urgent. The drive to St. Ignace is quick as well. The view of the lake from one of the rooms is perfect. I loved listening to the lake each morning and night that there were waves. We also appreciated how many of the necessities were there already including firewood, charcoal, etc. The couple of cons would that the rooms are really tiny. There was also mouse poop in a number of areas when we got there. Halfway through the week we spotted the mouse scurry into a room at night, bought a trap the next day, and caught it that same night. That was kind of unsettling in such a small space, but probably to be expected. Overall it was definitely a great value for the experience. Well priced.
