Christmas on the lake

We have stayed here before and it was a great experience. This year we decided to come and visit family for Christmas. The property is well-kept and has a nice view of the lake. We stayed inside mostly due to the cold weather. The family with my grandkids came over to visit. There are some games and toys for children to play with. We plan to stay here again when we are in the area.

An amazing property

We absolutely loved this place! It had everything you needed. It was very private, only a neighbor to the side. We enjoyed the paddleboat and canoe that were provided. They also have two kayaks, two paddle boards and two nice bikes. We fished and got some bass. We and our dogs loved the trail that goes out back behind the house. This is a true gem and we will be back again! Loved that they had fresh cut flowers and yummy cookies waiting for us. Love, love, love it!

Perfect weekend for R&R

We loved the cottage. It was clean and had everything we could possibly need. The cookies were a nice touch. The view is unbelievable and the swans came by multiple times. We even took the paddle boat out on the water with our girls. They loved the big yard and the swing. There was plenty to do for both the kids and adults. We had a couple fires, grilled yummy steaks, enjoyed the hot tub and made s’mores. The house is comfortable and clean. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to come back in the summer next year to really enjoy the lake and trails.

Fun For All ages

As advertised! Great lake views! A large window in the living area looks out over the lake. The home is well-kept and updated. The property was very large with plenty of "lake toys" for all ages. We were there visiting our son and his family who have a house there on the lake. One day they were visiting and it began raining. We were pleasantly surprised to find puzzles, blocks, toy cars, coloring books, and a toy train in a wooden dresser in the living area. This kept our young granddaughters busy until the weather cleared up. Dan, the property owner has put together a fun for all ages stay. We plan to stay again!

Peaceful oasis

Our stay at this cottage was beyond expectations. There was plenty of room inside and I liked the way the hallway to the bedroom side of the house was separated by a door, great when kids go to bed early. The bunk beds are huge, must be full size so even adults are comfortable. So thankful for the air conditions on the humid day we had. The outdoor space was big and very private. We enjoyed the paddle boat and paddle boards and just sitting on the dock. Our labrador retrievers enjoyed the lake and the screened patio was perfect for them to dry off. We loved the solo stove and fire pit…so great that wood was right there for us to use. The owners really went above and beyond with fresh flowers on the table, dog biscuits, beach towels, roasting sticks, even a pooper scooper if you bring your dog. We highly recommend!

Second time even better than the first. While last year's stay was great, this year was even better. The weather was HOT but the cool breeze off the lake made everything pleasurable as we fished, kayaked, swam and watched the wildlife.

The cottage was excellent all updated and. Very well stocked. Our issue was the lake the Kids who are 7and9 put their siuts on as we unpacked the cars. The seven year old got stuck in the mu k so her dad went into get her and he sunk in over his ankles. The reason we rent a cottage on theake is to be able to use the lake and we could not use the lake very disappointing also the furniture outside was sparse there was 4 chairs too low for my husband and i(we are 70 yrs old two backless benches a d two low chaise chairs so we could not sit outside comfortably it was a terrible fit for us

Rainy yet wonderful

Wife and I were her for a week getaway from busy life. This was the perfect place! Weather was colder than expected but made for great times snuggled on the couch or spending time in the hot tub. The hiking trail was very nice as well. We had our dog with us and days it did not rain we were able to take the trek and enjoy nature. Dog was very curious of the bee hive being the first one she has seen. Thankfully we did not get close enough for her to get "too curious" lol. Fishing from the dock was even relaxing. Was able to catch a few bass and plenty of bluegil. The area is so quite and peaceful and just what we needed. Thank you for the stay.

Pre-Season Serenity

Having booked our time here for about a week prior to lake-season start, most days we felt we were utterly alone, surrounded by peace, nature, and privacy in this beautiful space.My husband fished, my daughter kayaked, and I fell in the lake. Great rest and great fun.

Great Spot!

Pretty location, perfect for a winter weekend getaway. Deer walking in the backyard, pretty view from the hot tub. Nugget ice machine! Original windows, so a tad chilly laying on the couch. Have to get the heater just right and put the fireplace on. But was a great stay!

Perfect peaceful getaway

We loved our short stay at the cottage! The location is serene. We spent as much time outside as we could, which was easy to do given how many activities were available to us. We loved walking on the trail, taking the kayaks on the water, and lounging in the hammock. The hosts truly thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. We can't wait to come back!

Best Staycation Ever

Even though we we only 35 miles from home it felt like we were in northern Michigan. Fantastic property and beautiful countryside. House amenities were exactly as listed. As it was very hot that week the AC in individual rooms was a huge plus. We spent many hours on the lake which was peaceful during the week. When we returned home, it was a unanimous vote. We are going back next summer!

Everything you need

This was our second summer staying at this place on Sweezey Lake and it was just a good as last year. The house has everything you need to feel at home and enjoy your stay. They have comfortable bedding, towels for indoor and outdoors, life jackets, hot water, everything is clean, fire wood if you want to make a fire. There is no beach for swimming, but you can ride in one of the water toys and go to the sandbar to swim. We will be back!!
