Fantastic New Years Stay!
Submitted: January 9, 2013
Stayed: December 2012
This was a fun, quiet, cute little cottage to stay in for a romantic, low key New Years weekend. We kept the fireplace burning almost every waking hour, and cooked several meals in the well stocked kitchen. The winter time view of Lake Michigan out the bay window was excellent. I will definitely have to check out this cottage sometime during the summer for some Lake Michigan beach time! I'll certainly be back again!

little piece of heaven
Submitted: October 1, 2012
Stayed: September 2012
This little cottage in the woods was amazing. It was well kept, clean,
thoroughly furnished and even had little extras. i.e. tin full of
hershey kisses, pantry with spices and herbs, games and outdoor
equipment for entertainment.
You were very kind and helpful. You were very willing to answer any
questions we had. Even the questions you had already answered in an
email you had sent days before I didn't read until half way through
our weekend. Sorry :)
I would and already have recommended this cottage to friends and family.
Thanks so much Pam and Tim for sharing your little piece of heaven
with us! We plan to be back again sometime.

Fantastic Vacation, Very Relaxing
Submitted: September 11, 2012
Stayed: August 2012
We loved the place. It was very comfortable and the house was well equipped with the necessities. But the best part was Location, Location, Location. Short walk to the beach and the Channel Inn. As someone who goes to the Ocean a lot My wife was loving the lake. Beautiful beach with soft sand. The kids loved playing in the yard when we were relaxing on the deck.
If you want to just relax, this is the place.

A wonderful week
Submitted: August 21, 2012
Stayed: August 2012
This is a charming cottage nestled amidst astoundingly beautiful oaks and situated on a lovely property just minutes away from a quiet swath of Lake Michigan. Our family loved our week there, and especially appreciated the board and lawn games provided by the owners. The house is in great shape and the amenities were provided as noted in the description. The owners were helpful and hospitable. We look forward to future summer vacations at Mid Oaks!

Had a wonderful time

Good Morning Pam,
I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful time we had at your cottage! It was a beautiful place to stay and if we get the chance to do it again, we most certainly will. We loved the home, location, beach, Montague-Whitehall areas. We do not have one complaint. The kids enjoyed it too!
Thanks again Pam - many memories made this past week

Really relaxing
Submitted: June 24, 2012
Stayed: June 2012
Really super nice comfortable relaxing place. Really quiet. Really responsive owner who worked hard to get their internet access working properly.
Loved the Old Channel Inn just down the street, make sure you order a "Dark n Stormy"
While we loved the place there were a couple of things that we wanted to note...
1. There is no Washer/Dryer. Sure there are laundromats in town but who wants to sit in a laundry on vacation
2. There is no direct access from the house to the deck. Instead you exit at the side kitchen door about 8 steps down. Then you cross a little path by the garden, which at times is muddy from the sprinklers, and then back up 8 or so steps to access the deck.
3. The parking is across the lawn and not right next to the house, which made it somewhat difficult for our 80yr old parents to cross. The doors in the house are narrow and there are a couple of steps up the front which I would think makes wheelchair access difficult.
4. While, yes you could walk to the beach, it's a pretty steep downhill grade, and the road that needs crossing is a tight blind curve w/o sidewalks or much of a bike lane. Too hard for our folks to navigate, and scary with a little kid but parking at the beach was a breeze.

Owner's Response: Thank you for pointing out the challenges an elderly person might have with our property. Because of your feedback we no longer list it as suitable for seniors. Just so you know you can check the amenities section to see if a property has a washer and dryer before you rent it.

Montague Vacation Residence
Submitted: April 25, 2012
Stayed: April 2012
Deck gave a nice view of Lake Michigan. Vacation home was well decorated; even quilts on the beds. Vaulted ceiling & wood panneling a nice touch. This 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath home tucked away on private road with woods nearby gave a cozy feeling. It had every amenity we were expecting; found it to be VERY clean; dwelling showed it was well maintained in every aspect. We were 6 men who used this as a base camp to fish nearby; wonderful retreat, yet only 10 minutes from lovely towns of Montague/Whitehall. Were able to use owner's home next door to park both boats/trailers each night. Owner was great to communicate with. Certainly hope to return next April !

Perfect New Years
Submitted: January 8, 2012
Stayed: December 2011
We were looking for someplace to spend New Years away and remote this year and found just the perfect spot. Perfect too, that for the first time possibly in our lives we didn't have a real way to see the ball drop at midnight - and that was just fine. We traded that tradition for a beautiful fireplace on a very windy Michigan night with board games and quiet.
Pam and Tim could not have presented a nicer welcome with the fireplace prepared for just a match to start. The cottage was pristine and well taken care of. We could not have been happier and shall return.
Happy New Year!

We loved this place

We loved this place. It is the perfect Northwoods cottage with all the big & little luxuries that really matter - big fireplace, lots of windows, terrific view, easy walking distance to trails & water, rustic style, well-equipped kitchen, plenty of hot water & great water pressure, real coffee shop only 10 min away, etc. My son is 8 & he wants to come back to see what it's like during all the other seasons (& so do I!)

Midoaks Cottage is marvelous
Submitted: September 12, 2011
Stayed: July 2011
My family and I rent this wonderful cottage for a week or two every summer. The cottage dates from the early 20th Century but has been thoroughly updated. Very roomy and comfortable. The surrounding woods are magical, with a short walk down to an absolutely perfect and never crowded Lake Michigan beach. The spectacular sunset views from the cottage can't be beat anywhere. The little towns of Montague and Whitehall nearby are charming. This is the perfect place for a quiet family vacation. The owners provide everything you'll need, even bicycles, horseshoes, beach towels, you name it.
