We had a wonderful vacation and a large part of that was the wonderful cottage, sandy area, and swimming. The cottage itself felt more spacious than we had thought from the pictures. The A/C was refreshing, the AWESOME large kitchen island was a big hit with our family, and we enjoyed the ability to lounge in either the family area, screened-in porch, or outside near the lake.
Our family (two adults and two kids (6 and 4)) had plenty of space in the cottage. We also took advantage of the kayaks and the paddle boat. We played some T-ball in the spacious grass area between the cottage and the sandy beach area. We grilled. We had campfires in the fire pit (and roasted s'mores, of course).
The best part - for our family - was the sandy beach area, the dock, and the swimming platform. There were plenty of sand toys available (which saved us from needing to pack our own) and the owners provided a great sun shade tent that provided coverage over the sandy beach area and that was much appreciated!
Our family spent many hours each day jumping off the dock, swimming to the swim platform, and jumping off the swim platform. Great memories were made! The sandy beach area was really nice and the water level was gradual until the end of the dock (where it drops off pretty quickly).
We were very impressed and grateful for such a wonderful cottage. We also enjoyed traveling in the nearby area. We had dinner in Pinckney (Fondness was amazing!), had fried fish and ice cream in Hell, and traveled down to playgrounds (and ice cream) in Chelsea.
We highly recommend this cottage for families such as ours. We are already planning to look at booking for summer 2022. Thanks Bill and Daleen!
