Family Wedding Stay
This was a perfect place for our family to stay for the weekend as we gathered for a wedding celebration. The property was well-maintained and our family loved the screened in porch. Everything was clean and the property had great layout. My family and I will definitely be back.

Perfect peaceful getaway
We loved our short stay at the cottage! The location is serene. We spent as much time outside as we could, which was easy to do given how many activities were available to us. We loved walking on the trail, taking the kayaks on the water, and lounging in the hammock. The hosts truly thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. We can't wait to come back!

Best Staycation Ever
Even though we we only 35 miles from home it felt like we were in northern Michigan. Fantastic property and beautiful countryside. House amenities were exactly as listed. As it was very hot that week the AC in individual rooms was a huge plus. We spent many hours on the lake which was peaceful during the week. When we returned home, it was a unanimous vote. We are going back next summer!

Everything you need
This was our second summer staying at this place on Sweezey Lake and it was just a good as last year. The house has everything you need to feel at home and enjoy your stay. They have comfortable bedding, towels for indoor and outdoors, life jackets, hot water, everything is clean, fire wood if you want to make a fire. There is no beach for swimming, but you can ride in one of the water toys and go to the sandbar to swim. We will be back!!

Such a relaxing stay!!!
We had a fabulous time! Between walking the property, kayaking, sitting by a fire at night and chilling in the hot tub, I can’t pick which we enjoyed the most because they were all wonderful!!! If it had been a little warmer we would have also made great use of the screened in porch. We found that even though Manchester is small, it has some great places like the market, the distillery and the diner. The diner had amazing breakfast!! We also really enjoyed the indoor space. The views of the lake from the bedroom were awesome. And sitting by the indoor fire was also very nice. Would definitely stay again!!!!

Thanksgiving getaway with friends
Our party of 7 (4 adults and 3 kids) stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday. We have had this tradition of meeting up for the last decade. The house had ample space for us all. We enjoyed fires outside and relaxing in the hot tub at night. It was too cold during our stay to enjoy playing on the lake but we enjoyed looking at it. The view with the sun rising in the morning was gorgeous. With the cold air we really appreciated the heater in the corner. It was amazing. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We all want to buy a counter top ice maker now. We enjoyed walking the trails behind the house.

Girl's weekend
The cottage was the perfect place for our girl's weekend. We took advantage of the beautiful weather to kayak, have a bonfire and enjoy the hot tub. The cottage was clean, comfortable, fully stocked and close enough for DoorDash to deliver. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Lake Sweezey and would definitely return.

Perfect weekend for R&R
We loved the cottage. It was clean and had everything we could possibly need. The cookies were a nice touch. The view is unbelievable and the swans came by multiple times. We even took the paddle boat out on the water with our girls. They loved the big yard and the swing. There was plenty to do for both the kids and adults. We had a couple fires, grilled yummy steaks, enjoyed the hot tub and made s’mores. The house is comfortable and clean. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to come back in the summer next year to really enjoy the lake and trails.
