Summary: It was a very nice place and a very cozy little cottage. I would like to visit again if my husband was interested. We had to visit without him but I do think it would be a place that he would be interested in due to having access to the inland lake and lake Michigan for his boat. It was a very nice location. The sunsets were beautiful. It is within walking distance to both bodies of water. There were many things available to us in the home that was very helpful. The bed was clean and so were the towels and floors. The couches were very comfortable. My son slept in the recliner for the four nights that we were there. One of the things that I would change is the backyard. We had to put one of our dogs on a lead because he will run into the road and there were many things that the lead would get caught on and the yard is not closed in. Two tree stumps and pavers. One of the other things is that we ran out of trash bags. I don't know if we are supposed to supply the trash bags or if the owners are supposed to but we made it through with little bags. Another thing is that it looked like there is blood smeared across the bedroom blind. I wasn't sure what it was but we were not going to touch it. The last thing is that the dishes were not fully clean. I had to wash them before using them. For example the utensils had food still caked in them and a baking sheet had things burnt to it. All and all it was an amazing little cabin and we would love to go back.
