    S'more Fun



    The Space:

    Set on the shores of Platte Lake, this home is for the guests that want to spend a lot of time near the water - and want a comfortable place to rest once they've swum their heart out! With a lakeside deck and a dock that includes a bench, swimmers and boaters alike will enjoy the safe havens. When the sun goes down, it's time to cook your catch on the home's private gas grill. Afterward, it's time to light up the permanent firepit near the beach and watch the stars come out. This home is also within 12 miles of Long Lake, Rush Lake, Crystal Lake, and Little Platte Lake. When guests need a break from lakeside activities, Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theatre provides fun viewing during the summer season six miles away. Point Betsie Lighthouse (just under eight miles away) is the perfect gateway to Lake Michigan. Please note that this property does not have A/C.

Family trip

We loved the proximity to float the river and Platte beach. The property was beautiful, everything seemed brand new inside. Our only complaint was the water had a horrible rotten egg smell. But we still really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect scenic getaway!

My husband and I enjoyed this property in early fall when the leaves were just starting to change. It is such a peaceful place to unwind and relax. The home is well appointed with linens, towels, etc., and the large kitchen is amazing - totally updated and well equipped! We used the canoe on the property to enjoy the lake and took several scenic drives and hikes in the area. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Beautiful home on Platte Lake for relaxation

Overall a beautiful home on a wonderful northern Michigan lake. The home was clean and tidy, with comfortable beds and furniture. We enjoyed swimming in the lake off the dock and having a fire in the fire pit. Did not end up using the canoe but I wish we had taken it out at least once. Our days were filled with exploring the area - dunes, beaches, Platte River, and great nearby towns. The area was pretty quiet - not much traffic on the private drive.

Fun on our Own

Loved the site. We had a great time. The property manager certainly didn’t bother us. Felt a little adrift from Vacasa. Didn’t find the brochure until the last day.

Wonderful location

Very nice location right on Platte Lake. Lovely sunrises. There is a large strip of forest between the small neighborhood and M-22 so it is very quiet. Very easy to explore the area from this location. Nice back deck, which would have been even more enjoyable with the addition of more patio furniture. There were fans in each bedroom, nice linens, lightweight blanket (which I appreciated) as well as a duvet and plenty of towels and basic supplies.

Fun spot on a beautiful lake!

Overall the place is located in a nice quiet area. Has a great beach and dock. The kids had a great time playing in the water. Boat launch is not too far. Downsides were fruit flys, mouse traps, carpet was definitely not super clean and looking at the cost for next year to rebook was almost double. We still had a great time and those are just minor issues.

Sparkling Clean!

The cottage was perfect for our family of 3. The marina is convenient as we had our pontoon with us. Nice beach. Great sunsets. Everything in the cottage and property amenities were all very well kept and in great working order. Our 8 year old loved the playground and beach. Lots of room for kids to play and run. Mary and Tom were very responsive to our questions about where and when we could put our pontoon in the marina. Great place!

Our days were filled with exploring the area - dunes, beaches, Platte River, and great nearby towns.A couple areas for improvement: in two of the bedrooms there is no place to put a suitcase, so a dresser to unpack into would be super helpful. We did use the hangers in the closet for a few things. I was rather surprised and disappointed there was no wine glassware - even some shatterproof ones would have been nice.
