Spacious very clean cabin. Kitchen was great for cooking- very well stocked. Enjoyed evenings around a big bonfire area telling stories. Lovely quiet location with a nice sandy beach for swimming. Host was super responsive and helpful. Enjoyed our stay!!!
House was beautiful and nicely furnished! The grassy yard was also nice. We had a few fires outside and took the kayaks out one evening. It rained pretty hard one day so we enjoyed the puzzle stash and played card games. Overall a great stay!
Love the property and the seclusion. A beautiful lake is the icing on the cake. A fantastic spot for a group of friends to get together for the weekend
Beautiful property! Comfortable beds and plenty of space for our family! Screened in porch was wonderful and the spacious deck was a beautiful place to have coffee in the morning! The beach was sandy and the kids had fun fishing off the dock and swimming! We had a wonderful time and we had everything we needed at our fingertips! Thank you for a wonderful week!
Wow, what a fabulous weekend getaway. The home and property are beautiful. Everything you need is available for a relaxing vacation. Enough space for a family or group of friends.
Randy is one of the best property owners I’ve worked with. Easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We will be staying here again!
My family and I rented Randy's beautiful lake house for a week this summer. The house was as lovely as described on the Vrbo website. Appreciate that Randy was in contact with us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and that we arrived safely. His instructions for us were clear and thorough. Thank you, Randy, for sharing your house with us.
Our family had a great time at the Peterson Bay cabin! The property was secluded and tranquil yet close to town for amenities. Very clean! We enjoyed mornings on the spacious outdoor deck and evenings by the lake with beautiful views. Randy was very prompt with booking and providing info; very smooth process! Thankful we had this experience and would highly recommend.
We had a great time at Randy’s beautiful log home. The place was very clean, beds were comfortable. My kids ranging in age from 8 to 18 all had a great time. My daughter filled the house with music playing the piano for us. I enjoyed my coffee on the peaceful deck and we enjoyed lots of family meals in the 3 season porch. Then bonfires in the evening to end the day. All the wood was cut, split and ready for us when we got there.
We all really enjoyed the lake and beach. We were able to take the pontoon out fishing and for sunset cruises. We spent a ton of time swimming, jumping off the raft, kayaking, paddle boarding and just sitting on the beach.
Randy was very responsive and eager to help with anything that we needed. We can’t wait to go back and make more memories.
We were completely enchanted by this log cabin oasis. Nestled just a short, 5min scenic walk away from a private lake beachfront, this home was an absolute dream. The trail to the beach is a curvy delight, and the house itself is both grand and cozy. It's a paradise for dogs and water lovers alike— with kayaks aplenty, and even a floating pontoon perfect for sunbathing.
The kitchen is equipped for any culinary endeavor, but if you forget anything, fear not; grocery stores and Target/Walmart are conveniently nearby. A pro tip for future guests: bring a rolling cart to easily transport your beach/fishing gear to the sandy haven.
Firewood is abundant, and we were even treated to a double rainbow over the house—just adding to the magical ambiance. We rounded out our evenings with family sunset cruises on the pontoon boat. Truly, this is a slice of heaven. Highly recommend for a memorable, enchanted getaway.

Log cabin in the woods
What a beautiful log cabin in the woods to begin with!
I also have to admit this was my 1st and guest's experience with Verbo/air- BNB! So wasn't quite sure what to expect nor do I have experience to compair to!
The log cabin was stunning and quite modern, which made it an enjoyable experience. I did note each portable air conditioner had black mold in the vents! Not a bother to me but one in our party was/is sensitive so was of notice! I was very comforted knowing the cabin had working air conditioning if desired!
The cabin layout, kitchen, multiple beds were steller! Pleanty of cooking space with plenty of kitchen equipment (pots/pans)! So appreciate that!!!!
The "welcome letter" of dos and donts was in GREAT DEPTH...multiple pages! Related, I was unable to pull the letter up via email (maybe my error as I am not too tech savy) and should have read re-read in great dept PRIOR to arrival. Again, it was nice to have text/phone access to the owner for questions/clarification. Although, owner appeared to be annoyed by this even though voiced otherwise! (Which was of 3xs). opener/compliment which changed whole experience for all was the fact that the owner stayed on the property during our stay. He wasnt visually in our space but gave sense of HOVERING....noticed multiple camers in the home stated unplugged but didnt help.
*lake is not within view of log cabin
*1/2 block of rugged walk to lake
*no boat access if bringing own boat from cabin & questionable if to this lake
Everything was lovely and Randy is very easy to get a hold of should you need anything or have questions.The cabin is beautiful and the kayaks, paddle board and paddleboat were so nice to have to use on the lake.It was fun jumping off the floating dock and fishing off the docks was great. My kids want to go back. So that’s a win
The lodge was even more beautiful in person. Great layout and set up regardless of the weather or season. Randy was very easy to work with and communicated as needed throughout the process. Crystal clear water, great for swimming and fishing. Fish off the dock with a worm and you catch a panfish eveey cast. Great experience for younger kids. And for the older kids, the pontoon and kayaks brought much success with larger bass and northern. We hope to be back!
Loved the whole thing!! From the communication with the owner, to the beautiful 10 days around Christmas with the family....had a blast. Beautiful property in the winter time for sure. Thanks Randy!

Beautiful home. Well equipped and stocked. Quiet peaceful setting
Plenty of room for everyone on our family retreat. Convenient location to services in Grand Rapids and area fishing
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Randy's beautiful cabin and have already booked it again for next fall. Also appreciated how easily it was to communicate with him. Highly recommend!
We stayed here labor day weekend (my husband, myself and our 2 kids ages 11yrs and 3yrs) We rented the pontoon which was well worth it as we went fishing everyday. The cabin is beautiful and the location was so private and relaxing! We will definitely go back!
Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Randy's beautiful log home and property. Whole family joined in on fishing, swimming, boating, kayaking, paddle-boating, outdoor yards games, and bonfires. Host was very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!
Everything from reserving, communicating, staying and relaxing was easy and enjoyable. The log cabin is beautiful and well-equipped. The beach area, water toys and pontoon were fun! Could not ask for anything more, this stay exceeded our expectations and Randy is a wonderful host. Will definitely be returning next year!
