Wonderful place

Thought of giving a bad review so we could have this place to ourselves again, but it’s just too nice of a place to keep to ourselves. Owners are great to work with and very accommodating. The only downside is that it’s a bit of a hike to the nearest full service grocery store - so plan ahead.

Family vacation

We did toured Waterfalls, rented pontoon for the lake, visit bears and cuddled with puppy sled dogs. GREAT VACATION. The house was perfect, had everything we needed and more. It was comfortable. Absolutely loved it. We will be coming back:).

Best VRBO experience in the area

We've stayed at many VRBO in the area. Not taking anything away from the other hosts in the area, this host provided the best experience not only in this area but among all the places we've traveled in the last two years. They've clearly thought carefully through the guest experience.

We have rented, regularly in the UP for 30 years. I would have to rate this transaction #1. Every need was provided for. The home was exquisitely decorated, and comfortable. Our hosts were accommodating & easy to communicate with. Lots of privacy! Convenient access to town & restaurants. 5 stars (or more) highest quality. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us!!!!

Perfect stay

The cabin is actually nicer than depicted, so comfortable and incredibly well stocked for guests (spices, oil, shampoo/conditioner/ laundry detergent, charcoal, wood for the fire). Owners are very responsive and helpful. We rented a pontoon boat from a local company and fished, caught pike, bass, catfish. Saw the local bald eagle and loons. Very relaxing. Highly recommend.

Beautiful location on a lake with a great view. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. A washer and dryer were also provided with laundry supplies. Two bedrooms downstairs with a bathroom. Huge bedroom upstairs that shares the downstairs bathroom. A really nice bedroom was added to the back of the garage with a full bathroom/laundry room. Dollar General and two restaurants are just down the road. The communication with the host was great. We enjoyed our stay!

My family enjoyed staying at your cottage on the lake. The pictures posted are up to date.It was a little chilly for July hut the evening campfire solved that. Could have used a Marshmallow stick. We also enjoyed seeing the occasional deer roaming the area. :)

VanderWest's Fall Get Away

Enjoyed a week of lazing about and visiting places we love. The cottage was lovely. More room than what we expected. Very sad we couldnt use the fire place but understand why not. Took advantage of having a fire down by the lake.

Great Getaway

This property was nice and comfortable with all the amenities. The king bed in the upper loft is super comfortable and there was plenty of room for the whole family of 7. There is a flight of stairs to the lakefront but not too bad. Decent fishing and good for swimming. The guest cottage is very nice and comfortable with a full bathroom, ceiling fan, and laundry. The hosts are super responsive, helpful, and nice. My only recommendation would to have a patio umbrella as the back deck did get direct sun which made it a little hot. Other than that it was a great trip.

Back to school get away

We scheduled a last minute get away with our daughters before we dropped them off at college. The cottage and property were even more beautiful than we hoped. The cottage is a 100 year old structure with modern updates. There is also a suite attached to the garage with a queen size bed and additional full bathroom and laundry. This property offers stunning views of South Manistique Lake in a quiet peaceful setting. We were looking for a relaxing vacation and it exceeded our expectations. Geordie and Bridget went above and beyond to provide everything you would need to be comfortable including local coffee and chocolate upon our arrival. The kitchen had everything you'd find in your own home, kayaks were available as well as a fire pit and plenty of chopped wood. There was even a brief power outage due to a storm and Geordie was quick to reach out to let us know where we could find lanterns, flashlights, etc. He also brought over bottled water and a potable water container in case it was needed. We loved everything about our stay, would definitely recommend and hope to stay here again!
