Cleanest place we ever stayed

This place is peaceful, interesting because of all the different birds so great for bird photography, clean as a whistle, well supplied with anything you may need, and wonderful with supplied kayaks. We took tubes which were perfect for this lake.

Great Family Vacation Spot

I stayed at the property with my wife and two kids (3 & 9mo). Nate was a great host and the property was filled with activities for the young ones. The beach was great, and we loved using the kayaks and the firepit. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice relaxing spot.

Short Man’s Cottage

The short man’s cottage at Tallman Lake was just as advertised; clean, comfortable, quiet, and plenty of room to spread out for our party of 10. This was a quick trip to the area but would definitely book with Nate & Brenda again.

Peaceful getaway

Loved the stay! So many great activities on the property like bikes, kayaks, games, a bonfire pit, binoculars for bird watching, a grill and all the supplies to whip up a good meal.

Great Family Memories

The water was not fit for letting the kids get in it, but we had fun kayaking and sitting on the beach watching the kids play in the sand. Beach campfires were so relaxing and what a view. Saw an osprey, loon and lots of birds and squirrels along with a lone turkey. Very homey place and the hosts thoughtfully provided everything we needed, including holiday decor!

Wonderful fishing lake to spend a weekend away at. Had kayaks we could take out which was very enjoyable. Could’ve used nicer/bigger beds… something for the future. Otherwise, Nate was a very gracious host and we had a blast!

First time visitors to Michigan

While in Michigan, we wanted to experience a quiet lakeside cabin. The family had a great time kayaking on the lake and fishing from the boat, as an added bonus got to watch a bald eagle fly around us! Enjoyed the deck for morning coffee, was even able to watch a crane catch his breakfast! Was a great trip, thanks for sharing a part of Michigan with us.
