Good place to stay for a weekend with family

Cottage wasn’t much to look at from the road but was very clean and updated inside. The road to the cottage was pretty rough. The beds were comfortable and clean. The view of the small lake was very peaceful. Overall a good stay.

Cute lake cottage

We stayed during our daughter’s graduation. Away from crowds and cute lake. Nice small grocery nearby. The cottage was comfortable for sleeping and relaxing. The only inconvenience we found was that it’s on well water and it’s quite rusty. We bought water for drinking and brushing teeth. We did shower, but our daughter who has very sensitive skin was a bit bothered by it. Just something to be aware of. Great host and very easy to communicate with. Would be a great place for summer, we were there during cold weather.

Clean updated home!

A very cute place for a weekend stay. I loved the updated look and the non-toxic products in the home. My favorite was the doTERRA essential oils with a diffuser! We would love to come back in the summer when we can enjoy the lake.

Weekend Stay

This property was absolutely perfect for our weekend stay. It is very aesthetically pleasing, and comfortable. The backyard is a perfect setting, with a fire pit right on the water. We sat out there and watched the big swans on the lake. The location was perfect. We attended the Michigan game and the travel to and from the stadium was short and no traffic. There were tons of places to eat that was close by. This property is at the top of my list of places to stay!!!

Don’t expect much.

This was far from clean…daddy long legs hanging in cobwebs and dust bunnies in every corner. Mind boggling what people consider “clean”. Served its purpose as a place to just sleep during commencement weekend.

Great place!

Great place to stay if you’re looking for a quiet lake stay. Inside was comfortable. Kitchen was a good size but a little light on plates/utensils. The grill worked well and we used the fire pit a couple times. Bring your own firewood or pick it up nearby. The beach area is sandy but gets mucky a little ways out. Would have been really nice to have a kayak to take the kids out in. Overall this was a great, relaxing stay. Thanks!

Nice

The ad said property had a Sandy beach. The beach was not maintained lots of rocks and some sand. My grandkids didn’t come out to visit because of the condition of the beach area. I feel I should get some money returned because of the misleading claim of a beach. I have photos and will try to attach. Wearing socks in house got dirty really fast when walking around. The property manager was great and very pleasant and resolved all the issues I took to

Great updated rental

We visited Brighton to spend time with our daughter. The home was updated, clean, and well stocked. Super friendly neighbor who shared his paddle boat and fishing poles. The weather didn’t cooperate so we didn’t get to use the SUPs provided by the owner. The neighborhood is pretty run down but quiet and safe. Morning coffee outside or in the living room had a beautiful view of the lake. Fire by the lake at sunset was perfect for catching up!! We appreciated all the extras and attention to detail! Thank you for a nice weekend with family!

Great weekend get away. My boys had baseball and basketball tournaments and instead of a hotel we stayed here. They were able to fish in between games and have a bonfire at night and hang out. The neighbors were super friendly and helpful too.
