Rustic Log Cabin on Eight Point Lake

My husband and I are both from Michigan and over 20 years we've gone north with our family for cottage vacations. This vacation, on Eight Point Lake was by far the best. The beach is sandy and clean. The cottage was a perfect size; built from a Sears & Roebuck kit in the '40's. My tall husband and son did have to duck at a couple room entrances!

The large table in front of the porch was perfect; an oak tree provided shade all day. The grill and portable fire pit were great for evening meals and somemores. We rented the pontoon boat too and enjoyed trips around the lake, stopping at the sand bar and swimming in foot deep warm water. We also used the canoe and bikes...a great ride around the lake.

Even though the cottages are close together noise was never an issue. The fully stocked kitchen is indeed fully stocked...appliances and spices. The wifi was spotty...but we were on vacation and being un-wired is a welcome change.

We cooked most of the time but enjoyed Big Al's, nearby and Smokey Bones in Evert, plus Buccilli's Pizza in Farwell. They have an all you can eat pizza and salad bar; the waitress asked what kind of pizzas we wanted and stocked the buffet with them.

The renters are gracious, friendly folks...we had relatives w/kids visit for a day and they want to return themselves.

Again, we loved our week on Eight Point Lake, and would recommend this cottage and the lake, esp to those with families looking for a relaxed time by pure Michigan water.

We had an amazing time staying at this great rustic cabin! We can't say enough nice things about the cabin and about the owners. They are great people and it was a pleasure to rent from them. The lake is wonderful and we had a great time tubing, boating on the pontoon, fishing and relaxing by the lake. There was also a paddle boat and a canoe that we were able to use, which is included in the rental. We have already told many friends about our great experience staying here and suggested they all do the same. Our children (11 & 13) loved it. The kids had tons of things to do and were never bored. There were many games, books and movies for us to choose from in the cabin. We never wanted or needed for a thing here. Everything was already there. The cabin was extremely clean & well maintained. The size and layout of the cabin was perfect and we had plenty of room. The owners live next door and went out of their way to bring us gas out on the lake to the pontoon boat when we absentmindedly forgot to check the gas and ran out. Thank you for a great stay at this great cabin.

This cabin is the perfect escape from busy day-to-day. The lake is great for the kids to swim in, because it's quite shallow in front of the cabin and the lake has a sandy bottom -- no seaweed or muck! The cabin itself is absolutely charming, and in excellent condition. The owners provide an array of spices, which makes it easy to make homemade meals (kitchen is more than adequate, and plenty of pots, pans, serving utensils, etc) and there's a nice outdoor table, to fully enjoy the views of the water while eating. We appreciate how much thought has been put into the little extras provided by the owners, and we love not having to haul sheets, towels, toilet paper, etc to the cabin, when the car is already so full!

The owners are warm and welcoming, and genuinely concerned that the renters enjoy their stay. We highly recommend this cabin!!
