Awesome First Family Vacation

Dora and Diego Madison Heights, Michigan
Review Submitted: August 30, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My family had a great first family vacation at this cottage! There was more than enough room in this spacious cottage for the four of us. Our family consists of 2 adults and 2 small children, ages 1 and 2.5. We did need to bring baby items from home such as a pack 'n' play, travel high chair, gates and life jackets. The owner made it clear ahead of time that we would need to bring baby gear from home since they did not have any. Cottage was very clean and had all the comforts of home. We enjoyed renting the pontoon boat for exploring Wixom Lake and hanging out at Pontoon Alley. Ending each day with a bonfire was fantastic and the owners provided more than enough fire wood. The owner was great to work with and responded very quickly to questions about the property and our stay. We hope to be able to visit again!

Nice place to stay for a large group!

Take5 Grand Blanc, MI
Review Submitted: June 23, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
. We had a great time at this cottage! We had 12 people for most of our stay and there was plenty of room for all. The pontoon boat was a great bonus to renting the cabin as it made for a great day on the water for both swimming and fishing. We caught a few big fish on the lake. If you are skilled...they are out there! The kids fished from the boat dock EVERYDAY and had a running total of over a hundred pan fish! They were soooo excited. We enjoyed cooking outdoors on the grill as well as the fire pit. The cottage was very cute and clean and had everything we needed and more. The owners are nice people, and very attentive! Thank you Stephen and Erin. What a fun and relaxing vacation! We hope to return soon.
