It was very nice and peaceful. Loved having a bonfire by the water. Beautiful sunrise and sunset. We will be back.

Weekend stay to visit Frankenmuth
Enjoyed our stay. Thanks for use of boats and fire tables. View of the lake was relaxing. Had all supplies we needed. Our dog loved the steps to get in and out of the lake she slept very well after swimming.
Thanks again for use of your property

Beautiful Cottage on the Lake!
The house was very clean and inviting with fun furniture and a great view! Sherry and Mark left a lovely note of welcome and a delicious box of local chocolates. That was very sweet but, my favorite part was the dog accessories including dog bowls and sheets so our pups could sit with us on the furniture! a good time was had by all.

A Lovely Cottage on the Lake!
My husband and I stayed 2 nights at the cottage and would have loved to have stayed longer if time had permitted us on our travels through Michigan from Florida! The cottage was very clean and we felt welcomed by the personal note and chocolates left by the owners. Everything we could have needed and more was supplied in the cottage. The weather was chilly so we enjoyed using the fire pit on the patio area in the evening. Sitting outside and looking out over the lake in the cool, crisp mornings and listening to the sounds of nature was so beautiful and refreshing! We took a daytrip into nearby Frankenmuth for some shopping and a chicken dinner at Zehnder's which was also fun. Communication with the owners was very easy. They were very friendly available to answer any questions we had. We hope to make it back for a longer stay at this lovely cottage on the lake in the future!

Great little romantic getaway
Despite the not so great weather while we were there, we were still able to enjoy our stay there. Our little weekend away was cozy and relaxing and the little touches around the house were appreciated. The hosts were very responsive as well.
