Spacious and clean
Posted Feb. 13, 2024 on HomeAwayMy boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights while we went snowboarding at Crystal Mountain. I couldn't ask for a better place to stay for the price. It was very clean when we arrived, and I was surprised at how much room there was for more guests if needed. The pool table and hot tub was what we were looking forward to and it did not disappoint. We brought food to make breakfast and had everything we needed. The little heater in the bathroom was a great bonus for me too. I messaged a quick question for Jacob, and he answered within the hour. Diner 44 down the street had great food and great service. I would recommend this cottage to anyone and would consider staying here again.
Thanks again Jacob!

Not what we expected.
Posted Jan. 28, 2024 on HomeAwayOverall disappointed. Poor communication and lack of professionalism from the host. This is my first bad VRBO experience.

Golf Weekend
Posted Sep. 4, 2023 on HomeAwayOnly thing good were the beds. First we get there at check in and the host pulls in because the toilet was backed up in one of the bathrooms and the hot tub needed to be cleaned. This should have been taken care of before we arrived. The toilet was backing up into then bathtub. This was a huge inconvenience because we had 8 people having to use one rest. room. The hot tub was vacuumed out and still was gross the chemicals were so strong it gave us all rashes. The cleanliness was a 1. We took pictures of everything because it was so bad. The “AC” was not actual AC it is a window unit that had an inch of dust in the filter and the hose continuously fell off of the back so all of the bad air was blowing right back into the house. This place says remodeled that should be a very loose term and the only thing that seems to be remodeled were the bath tubs and appliances. The walls,.doors and ceilings along with ceiling fans covered in dust. Light fixtures exposed in bedrooms with no covers and only the TV in the living room turns on. Over all it was only good because of the beds. I would not recommend this house unless it went under major deep clean. Oh also there was a large drug paraphernalia on the grill. THERE IS ZERO attention of detail to a place that has large potential

Girls Trip 2023
Posted Aug. 23, 2023 on HomeAwayNot much to look at from the outside. But inside was so nice and comfortable.

Up North MI
Posted Jul. 8, 2023 on HomeAwayThis house doesn’t look like much on the outside and is right on a main (fairly busy) road, but the inside has been redone, all new appliances, mattresses (comfortable), etc. The location is great, right near many places we like to go when up north (IE: Iron Fish Distillery, Lighthouse Cafe, Point Betsie Lighthouse, etc). Outside kept up with flowers, fire pit & chairs, grill, woods out back. It’s a nice place to rest your head at night.

Close to Hiking Areas
Posted May 4, 2023 on HomeAwayThis was the perfect place to stay because of the location! We took a weekend and went hiking to different places and looking for mushrooms. Close to everything, quiet and right on a main road!
The pictures need to be updated. There was only a couch in the living room, but pictures showed also a chair/recliner. The fireplace that is listed in features doesn't work, but it doesn't say that. The hot tub was a great addition, but it was not well kept. Not enough chlorine, two of us got rashes and we only used it twice. There were no chairs readily available for sitting around the fire either.
There should definitely be a disclaimer stating that certain things will not be available (?)month-(?)month.
We had a great time! But for us to come back things would definitely need to be updated/fixed.

Great place to unwind.
Posted Apr. 5, 2023 on HomeAwayWe had a great time at Bear Lake Cottage. I brought my teenage daughter and her friend along, and we each ended up with our own bedroom. It was great to have 2 full bathrooms and an open floor plan. We loved the large kitchen, which is stocked with plenty of pots/pans, baking sheets, cooking utensils, a great coffee pot and a toaster. The barstools and high table are very wobbly and there isn’t much else for furniture besides the couch. But it worked great for us. We enjoyed our time on the hot tub and playing pool when we were at the cottage, but it’s pretty close to several places we wanted to check out in the area, so we found ourselves wandering more than relaxing at the cottage. The beds were comfortable and there is heaters in each bedroom. We didn’t encounter any problems while we were there, but I know that Jacob would respond quickly if needed. One thing that might be helpful for future guests is to display the house numbers on the property better. I never saw any house numbers from the street, but my GPS did take us right there.
I would love to stay here again in the future. Great location and cozy cottage.

Comfortable home away from home.
Posted Jan. 3, 2023 on HomeAwayThis house was had everything we needed. The location was great for our Jeep gang to go offroading. Check in was super easy and host was available if we had any questions.

Our December stay
Posted Jan. 1, 2023 on HomeAwayOnce again, our stay at the Bear Lake Cottage was quite pleasant. Family had fun with the pool table and they loved the hot tub.
Would like to see a few more comfortable chairs in living room and coat hooks, but otherwise a good place to stay for a couple days or more.
