Upon arrival, you'll be overcome with a sense of peace as you take in the natural Michigan surroundings. The back porch invites you to linger outside and immerse yourself in holiday relaxation. Here, you'll enjoy sunrises over the Cut River with a warm cup of coffee in hand.

Moving inside, the 1,200-square-foot interior boasts numerous amenities including in-unit laundry machines and wireless internet connection, making your stay more than comfortable.

Make yourself at home in front of the gas fireplace, perfect for chilly winter days. While you watch your favorite shows on the flat-screen cable TV, stay in touch with your fellow guests snacking on hors-d'oeuvres around the bar.

Once everyone is thoroughly hungry, head into the fully equipped kitchen to whip up a delicious homemade meal with essential cooking appliances and ample counter space. Sit down at the 4-person dining table to savor your mouthwatering creation. After dinner, venture outdoors to take in the stars while cuddling around the private fire pit.

Once the exciting day ends, you'll be ready to retreat to the comfort of the master bedroom featuring a cozy queen bed, flat-screen cable TV, and direct access to the back deck where you can enjoy a peaceful moment to yourself. Additional guests will sleep soundly in one of the 2 other bedrooms furnished with queen beds and storage for your belongings.

You and your fellow guests will create unforgettable memories cruising the lake's surface, fishing for Largemouth Bass, and swimming in the clear, refreshing water. Plus, you'll enjoy easy boat storage on the property's seawall.

In the winter, pack your snow toys including snowmobiles and sleds to fully enjoy the frozen Michigan landscape! You'll love exploring the surrounding area on over a hundred miles of trails located directly off of the home's doorstep.

Winter Ski-Football Weekend

We had a great stay. On Saturday and Sunday, we made a nice breakfast in the morning in the fully equipped kitchen. Then we went cross country skiing into the afternoon. Then we came back to the rental to relax and watch the football all the way into the night. Most rentals don't have cable TV (only smart tv.) It was extremely nice and easy to be able to turn on the TV and flip to the games without having to deal with streaming madness. Please don't get rid of cable.

Nice, Quiet, and Clean

We enjoyed this property a lot! It’s in a quiet small neighborhood right on the Cut River which was similar to a canal. We rented a pontoon for two days and we’re able to park it on the sea wall at the property. The house was clean and comfy and had everything we needed for the three-day stay.

Peaceful weekend

While there were some snags at the beginning of our stay, the owners worked hard to fix them. The only other snag was struggles with the fireplace. It was a quiet & serene setting, lovely sunsets and lots of wildlife!

Very relaxing and comfortable.

We went for a few days away and enjoyed our time. Sat and played games and did a few puzzles. Books there to read if you decide you want to do that as well. Was a bit chilly and windy and would love to go back when it's warmer out. Has pretty much everything you need to get by!

Enjoyable

It was a relaxing spot to stay for 2 nights. We choose this location for mainly a few reasons. We were close to the trails we wanted to ride on the state forests. We wanted 3 bedrooms. And we wanted a clean updated place. We found all theee of these here. Thank You.

The house and property were wonderful, next door neighbor not so much

Loved everything about the house and the property, The View included, but the grumpy old next door neighbor tried to ruin our weekend. Certainly was not the owner of our rentals fault

The house was clear and good.

Good place to stay, nor aware about the air conditioning. As the house has no air conditioning, the house can be a little bit warm during day time in the summer. It was okay at night when the temperature was cool down.
