The space and layout were exactly as expected from the pictures, and we had a very good time. Only the weather kept it from being perfect. We enjoyed hanging on the small beach and in the water on the two nice days. The back sun room with views of the lake was a great place to hang on the bad weather days. Also enjoyed our late evenings around the fire.

Our family booked this adorable cottage last minute, as our original plans with extended family were canceled due to valid concerns of travel during this Covid-19 situation. We checked in on a Monday and checked out on Friday. A quick trip, but just enough time. Nate was very accessible for any questions or concerns. Upon arrival, all was exactly as described. Very clean, neat and uncluttered. Beds were comfortable, plenty electrical outlets and fans (no AC here, but not a problem w/ breeze coming off Houghton Lake & tons of windows in the cottage.) Hooks, towels & basic supplies in bedrooms & bathrooms added to this user friendly rental. Internet was up to date and speedy. Parking was available for at least 5 or 6 vehicles. Quiet street, although not far off of busy road with a bit of traffic noise at times. Outside shed had extra chairs, firewood, rafts, etc. Plenty of chaise lounges for relaxing on beach. We used the boat lift with no issues. Sandy lake floor and knee deep clear water at least 300 ft out! Perfect location for watching sunsets, which were AMAZING each evening. A bonus for us: dogs allowed! Our 2 German Shepherds loved every second of their 1st lake adventure together. We will definitely plan on booking here again! Thanks Nate for sharing your property with us :)
