Lakefront cottage rental

Business Trip Alternative Pinole, CA
Review Submitted: July 24, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
I was on an extended business trip in Troy Mi which is about 25 minutes away. I used this cottage as a hotel for a week of that trip. This is everything I could have hoped for and more. No matter how windy the day was the lake was always flat. The fish would come right up to you in the lake. The lake water was warm. The ceiling fans keep the air moving so it didn't get too warm. The neighbors were very nice. The wireless internet connection made it easy to work from the cottage. I would like to go back on a vacation some day.

Owner's Response: We're glad to see that business travelers coming to the Detroit metro area can enjoy this cottage as an amazing alternative to a hotel room. Thanks, Don

Loved the cozy cottage

Mike_Linda Colorado
Review Submitted: November 23, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
Highly recommend the cozy cottage. We felt like we were guests in someone's home although we had the place to ourselves. Wireless Internet was especially a treat along with the huge island in the kitchen, and the view of the lake was very relaxing. Having come from out-of-state we had never seen the property or the lake, but our expectations were exceeded. One of the most beautiful lakes in Michigan, though they are all beautiful. The lake looked like glass a good share of the time. 5 stars

Great Getaway Weekend!

Aunt Babs Cincinnati, Ohio
Review Submitted: November 15, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
This lakefront cottage was super! We contacted Don 2 days before our last minute weekend getaway and was pleasantly surprised that he rearranged his schedule to meet us upon arrival. He was most hospitable. The cottage is well stocked with all amenities. Its location is close enough to Detroit to enjoy the city and far enough away to enjoy the many lakes, etc. in the area. We had a wonderful weekend and would think about returning in the future!

Just perfect!

Mary and Wayne Simi Valley, CA
Review Submitted: October 8, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
The cottage was just perfect for our needs. It is clean and had all the comforts of home. It is situated perfectly for us to visit with friends and family but still be far enough away from the "city" to be relaxing. We will definitely be back. Thanks for everything!

Great place!

Martin & Katherine Lake Elsinore, CA
Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2004
We had such a wonderful time on Bald Eagle Lake. The cottage was well equipped and everything was just right. Waking up in the morning having a nice cup of coffee walking down to the lake and being greeted by the sweet family of ducks along with the beautiful swans,dosen't get any better than that. The name "Cozy" cabin goes with out saying, because not only did it give us that warm feeling, our friends and family felt it as well. Coming here from CA for a visit, it gave us a headquarters, for many friends and family members to visit and everyone had a great time.The lake was so clean, the fishing was excellent, having the paddle boat was fun for all. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay there. Like our Governator says, "I'll be back!"
