Great location on Big Lake!

You can’t beat the view from this cottage! We had everything we needed including a pontoon boat, fishing boat and kayaks. Cody is amazing and very easy to work with. This was a great place for our family getaway!

Scenic Stay

Our family appreciated the brief taste of lake life. The lake is clear and clean, nice for swimming and fishing. We enjoyed touring it on the pontoon. The views from the home and deck were lovely all day and night. We hope to stay again next year.

Great place to stay!

The property was exactly as we expected per the online presentation. The owner was most friendly and helpful. Our plans were to float on the Muskegon River. Rain kept us from doing that but the lake offered us plenty of other options. Highly recommend!

Great Place!

We loved this place. It was very clean and organized. We took the boat out 3 days and that was a added perk. The dock was nice to fish off of and it had a great area to swim. Only suggestion is new mattresses, we woke up feeling old. Great communication from owner, questions answered very quickly. Overall we loved it and have already talked about going back.

Fun week

Cody was very helpful. Check in was easy. Location on the lake was great. We all enjoyed swimming in the lake, kayaking, and campfires at night for s’mores. Fishing was great-even off the dock. Pontoon was nice to take out and ran great. House was well supplied for our week stay. Had a fun week.

Great property but unkempt

Overall we had a great time at the property and even went to the local farmers market. Our biggest negative was cleanliness for both the house and pontoon boat.

Great Family Vacation

This cabin is great for a weekend getaway to reset and unwind, or a week vacation. Having a pontoon, kayaks and the row boat gave something for everyone to do on the water. It was so nice to get away from everything going on in the world right now and just relax. No one thought about covid 19. Even though it was just for a few days, it was needed. Thank you Cody for a great experience and we'll be back again.

Great getaway for a couple.

We came here for our anniversary, and we had a great time. The cottage has a beautiful view of the lake. In the morning, we would grab a couple chairs, our coffee, and go sit on the dock and watch the fish. You can see lots of stars at night, especially in front of the house. It was really cool to have a pasture with cows grazing across the street. It made for some good photo ops. We enjoyed having the pontoon boat at our disposal for a very reasonable price, as well as kayaks, a row boat and water toys for free. The cottage was very well-stocked, and Evart is conveniently close, and has everything you could need. Cody was flexible, laid-back and very prompt with communication. We had a great time, and definitely plan to stay again.

Great time with the grandkids!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The three grandkids enjoyed the great swimming beach and a ride on the pontoon boat. Rained one day but we enjoyed board games and watched some kids DVDs we brought along. Everything was thoughtfully provided for our enjoyment. Water toys for the kids, wood and kindling for the fire pit for s'mores one night and plenty of kitchen equipment for cooking. Beds were comfortable and the kids had plenty of room to spread out. Nice deck for enjoying morning coffee or evening meals overlooking the lake. Town nearby (Evart)for groceries and ice cream, even a McDonalds. Great swimming area right out by the dock with good shallow water for the kids with nice sand underfoot. Pontoon fee was very reasonable! Would love to come here again!

Girlfriend Get-Away

Plenty of room and great shower. Enjoyed the kayaks and the pontoon once we got it going. Would be good to post step by step instructions on operation of the pontoon. Great fire pit and plenty of camp chairs to sit around it. Kitchen stove/oven and other fans could use a thorough cleaning. Would rent this again. Good weekend with friends.

We had a great girls weekend at the cottage!

It was a nice lake weekend getaway. The owner was very accommodating with good communication. We used the kayaks and the pontoon which was a bonus! We also enjoyed just sitting in our floats on the sandy lake frontage. The stars were amazing and vibrant. We loved the evenings laughing around the fire pit. There were 5 of us and we had more than enough room. When I originally searched it, I had put in 8 people but we ended up with just 5. Just make sure you notify the owner how many people you really have because there is an extra persons fee. Overall we had an amazing weekend and would go again!

Wonderful fishing cottage getaway

This simple fishing cottage has everything you need and nothing you don’t. We took an end of summer getaway with three teens - unplugged. No TV, No internet. Just fishing, boating, Kayaking, card games, fires and family meals cooked in the kitchen. The boat was perfect and we caught a fish just about every time we cast a line (bluegill, perch, pike). There at fans in case it is hot out (no AC) but the breeze off the lake seemed to be enough to keep the cabin cool on a 90 degree day. There is a nearby grocery store and place to tube down a nearby River. The sunsets are picturesque. We will be back again.
