Wonderful, quiet little house right on the water. The water was beautiful, but really pretty at night with all the lights. Kitchen is very well equipped and the owner is excellent at returning messages and assisting in any difficulties. Our two young granddaughters loved the tiny sandy beach right out the back door! Very clean.

Relaxing and comfortable cottage on a small lake near our previous home of 40 years. We now live in Florida. . We were near family and friends, some of which we hadn't seen in a year. Amentities are plentiful and Dan assisted us in any question we had. Since I am an artist, I especially enjoyed downtown Brighton and the beautiful local art. The restaurants are wonderful and many. We hope to be back here again next year but may end up buying our own second home here if we find the right one.

Warm & lazy;
We had wonderful weather and enjoyed being able to kayak on the lake. There is an area on the lake with thousands of Lilly Pads (which are protected). It's quite a sight to see. The grill works well. We did steaks and burgers on it. The kitchen has a huge island.. Very nice.

Fun weekend exploring Michigan
We chose this place for the great location, the awesome pond, and the ability to cook our food there. We loved all of this! Drive down a dirt road to find a fun lake with all the toys needed to have a blast! Would recommend and the host was extremely communicative and offered help throughout our entire stay. Thank you!!!

Sister Sleep Over
House was perfect for a little overnight stay over with sisters. House exactly as described. View is so pretty of the lake. We spent all afternoon and into the evening playing cards/games on the deck to enjoy the view.House clean and check in and communication was easy. They had candy and wine for us as a nice and unexpected surprise. Would stay again.

Adorable little cottage
The Cottage is very clean and we enjoyed our stay. The beds are comfortable and the host is very responsive. The neighborhood is very quiet so if you are planning a loud party, this is not the place. Please note that this cottage is on a dirt driveway so if pavement is the only way you like to drive, you might not like it. Personally, we loved it and enjoyed the relaxing time while in the area for a graduation. Thank you to our host for a nice relaxing stay.

Pet Friendly
If you are looking for a pet friendly place this is it. The view of the lake is very nice. The linens are clean. There was a nice bottle of wine and some candy at the kitchen island .
The kitchen was very nice and well equipped. There was a lot of pet dander in the air and it smelled like pets from the time you walk in. I don't have pets. The communication with the manager was fantastic! It was stated as a new build but it is not new.. All in all if I had pets I would stay there again but since I don't.. I won't.
