But the bedding was wonderful! very comfortable and clean. loved having a beach to ourselves. its an old comfortable cabin but had everything that you need! trees kept it cool in the heat . great space for us all.

Cozy cottage with some minor fixes

Overall it was great. Just a couple of things could have made it fantastic. There was a major amount of cobwebs and dead bugs under our bed. There were a lot of towels, but some pretty raggedy washcloths. We kept tripping over a rug in the living room that needs some repair. I finally sewed one end with some fishing line, but it still needs repair. We had to do a major sweep of the deck due to a thick covering of pine needles. It looked like they had been there for a month. Other than those things we had a great time. It was cozy, great location to restaurants and downtown Traverse City. We would come again!

Perfect fishing and swimming

Second year staying at this cottage. Kids enjoyed a lot of fishing and swimming on this quiet lake. Beach area at the property could use a little attention for easier access to the water. Stairs down to water also need some attention, many stubbed toes. Number of beds and rooms were perfect for our family. We love being on this quiet lake, but also love being so close to T.C. and the wine trails. Will definitely be coming back again!

Wonderful Getaway

This was a great place to get away, far enough from town that it felt isolated but close enough we could go shopping or eat out when we wanted. The owner was very responsive and check-in was easy. We had a great trip!

Great Getaway, really good fishing!

This place was great! Had everything you might need. Super clean. We were there the week before Memorial Day so it was really quite in the neighborhood. Great water access for the dogs to swim. Fishing was fantastic right off of the dock or in the little fishing boat. Location was ideal. Off the beaten path but just minutes away from grocery or bait stores. Traverse City is an east 15 minute drive away. So many cool things to explore in the area! Susan is an amazing host! Great communication and there to help if needed.

Lake stay oct 2020

Everything was great. It’s like going to your grandpas favorite place on earth and being able to sit in his favorite chair, cause he’s not there (lol). We loved our stay. A little chilly for fishing but no lack of things to do in this beautiful area. I’m pretty sure we accidentally hit the best weekend of the year for tree leaf color. Cabin was exactly as described and thinking about returning in 2021

Perfect fishing and swimming

We had an amazing time at this cottage! Perfect lake for my 3 children (4,7,8) to go fishing and swimming! Loved the many boat options the cottage had to offer. My youngest also enjoyed all the sand toys and sandy lake bottom around the dock.

Great For Fishing and Swimming

Wonderful fishing trip with 2 sons and 3 grandsons at Susan's cabin for 5 days. Susan was very helpful and friendly. Lake is very clear and the area is very quiet. Bass fishing was great! Had so much fun on Lake George we never did go across the street to Spider Lake or Artibus Lake. Everyone enjoyed our time fishing and swimming on the lake.

Wonderful "up North" rental

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at "Just Fishing." It started with Susan being very helpful and communicative. Check-in was a breeze. The property is wonderful, steps from peaceful, beautiful Lake George. Close proximity to Traverse City is very handy. A paddle boat, row boat and some inflatables provide water fun. It was a perfect vacation spot for a family with teenagers.
