Our week at the cottage was relaxing and comfortable. The cottage was clean with a well equipped kitchen. Beds comfortable. We slept 5 people. Enjoyed a meal we cooked on the outside gas grill.

This cottage is not actually on Manistee Lake, but you can see the lake from it. There is a dirt road and another cottage between it and the lake.

Good location. We spent a day at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and another at Charlevoix.

We were disappointed with the rowboat since one of the oars was broken and made paddling difficult. We understand the owner plans to replace the broken oar.

The man in charge of the cottage responded promptly when we had a problem that was eventually resolved. He was very helpful. He also informed us that wifi is provided free of charge in Kalkaska, which is a 15 minute drive.

This was our first visit to the area and we were pleased with the cottage overall.

Owner's Response: Thanks for your review; I really appreciate it. I didn't realize the boat paddle was that damaged; I will replace the paddle for next summer. The new furnace is almost done, so we will be renting all season long starting this winter. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope you visit us again.

The cabin was a perfect little affordable get away. We are a family of 5 (ages 8, 5, 4) that enjoy biking, walking through the woods, swimming, collecting seashells by the shore, and short canoe trips. This place had it all.

Cabin was very clean with little things easy to find. Remember that there's no washer & dryer or towels to use. Besides that, well stocked with essentials. All beds & comforters were extremely comfortable, we used the bunk bed room as a throw-all.

Easy to find & located down a well kept road with nice cabins that are cared-for. We loved the recently re-opened Manistee Lake Inn right around the corner on the south end of the lake. Gas station/general store right around the other corner.

For two 2 families, the main kitchen/dining/living room area may be a little undersized, but for one family with 3-4 kids -perfect.

Thank you Colleen! -Joe & Tina
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Thank you Joe & Tina for your review. I appreciate all the information. I didn't know about the Manistee Lake Inn, so I'm planning on checking it out. I know the kitchen is a little small, but we have cooked up some big meals for a crowd in there, and now with the new gas grill, it will be even easier. I'm heading up next weekend; were putting in a new furnace, so think about us this winter for fun in the snow.
