Great get away

This property is a beauty! We love the wood cabin feeling. This cabin had everything we needed except food and clothes! We loved the lake and the dock. Feeding the fish every morning was a family favorite. As well as kayaking, it was a first for the kids, now considering buying our own! The owners were very responsive and quick to handle any concerns. This vacation allowed us to relax and just take it all in. We will be back soon!sfamil!

Big Lake Cottage

The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. The sandy beach is perfect for young children to play. There is plenty of parking for a couple of vehicles and a boat trailer. Neighbors are very friendly and the host is easy to contact and very responsive. The surrounding area has horseback riding, splash pad and other fun activities.

Beautiful and relaxing

Love the house and the location. Did lots of kayaking. Had fun in the water. Would have loved a picnic table or something like it to eat our dinners outside. Also needed one more sauce pan. Thanks for a wonderful week at your house.

Very comfortable, beautiful view, the covered porch is perfect for enjoying the breeze off the lake. Very clean, kitchen was well stocked to cook meals, and the check in and out process was easy. We look forward to our next stay!

The Perfect Week

We had an amazing stay at The Big Lake Bungalow! We are a very busy family and a week unplugged on a beautiful lake was just what we needed before school. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed to cook at home the whole week. The kayak's were a big hit with both kids and parents and we spent so much time in the water. The only thing was we thought towels were provided but there were only 3 for our family of 4 so we had to go buy some more. But, it was such a small issue that did nothing to bring down our wonderful experience.

Has everything you need!

This updated cabin is so cute and had everything we needed and more. The beds were comfy, the kitchen and grill were spot on, and the beach and lake were amazing. We made so many sand castles on the beach. We would totally recommend staying here!!!

Immaculate and Lovely

Everything was great. I appreciated how clean and new everything was. I highly recommend staying here for those reasons. The only downsides were the lack of AC, no wifi, no cell service, and the bunk bed is difficult for an adult to safely get in and out of. Maybe anti-slip tape for adults trying to climb up and down and a handle. I made it up and down without incident, but I'm pretty active. If you want a clean and quiet get away, this place is great! I just wasn't prepared for no wifi or cell service.

Big Lake Cottage

We had an amazing time at the cottage. The owners are extremely responsive and friendly. The cottage is clean and well kept and includes just about everything needed for a stay. The dock makes taking your boat along very easy. There’s also kayaks to take out on the lake. The neighbors are also very friendly. The area has lots to offer such as horseback riding and go cart racing.

Perfect for a small family.

My family of five (kids ages 6,4, & 2) enjoyed every minute playing in the sand, fishing off the dock, and having fires in the evening. Our stay was a nice quiet break from reality and we enjoyed every minute of it!

Perfect Experience!

Ben and Lisa, Thank you for an absolutely wonderful week at your beautiful cottage! Our family had an amazing vacation! The cottage was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils and spices. We made several meals there throughout the week. The sleeping arrangements worked great for our three kids. They also loved the selection of books/toys/movies they found. Our absolute favorite thing was drinking coffee on the porch every morning. The view was stunning. We also had a fabulous time on the lake all week. We brought two SeaDoos and had a blast riding and tubing. We also had a friend visit for a day with their boat, the dock worked great for them. The neighbors were all very friendly, the cottage was close enough to town to be convenient, and overall we couldn't have asked for more! We will definitely be back!! Thank you! Kate

Amazing Getaway

The owners and family were very accommodating and incredibly welcoming. They made us feel like one of the family at the lake. The house itself was incredible with the amazing porch/patio that overlooked the lake that was literal steps away. Whether you spend nights by a fire or up on the outdoor patio couch, it was as relaxing and enjoyable as it gets. More than enough room inside and out for our 4 family members (wife/spouse, 2 kids under 6). Perfect getaway with a perfect host!

Great getaway cabin!

This cabin was just as advertised, pictures are all accurate. If you are looking for a place to just chill with family or friends, this is it. The lake itself is a quiet place. We kayaked in the morning and late afternoon and it was very peaceful. The cabin is stocked with everything you need and was super clean and everything looked new. We loved it and are talking about going back next summer. It would also be a great spot in the Fall.

Perfect Peaceful Lakeside Retreat

The Big Lake Cabin was all we expected and more. Newly built and well appointed, this cabin is a great place to enjoy the lake or just relax in comfort. Nice extras like TV, movies, books, kayaks, and a rowboat added to the charm. The spacious back porch has comfortable furniture, private beach access, and a great view of the lake. The cabin is spacious enough for 4-5 with a well-appointed kitchen and ample seating. The bedrooms are sized right and well-furnished. The single bathroom is convenient and functional. Our hosts visited with us (next door) and were both cheerful and willing to help in any way necessary to make our stay successful. We entertained a small, quiet group of family after a memorial event and the property supported the dozen or so non-overnighters easily. The neighbors are quiet in the evenings and the lake is so invitingly peaceful that we felt like staying forever. Wonderful property Sammy. We hope to be back.

Big lake cottage

We really enjoyed the cottage and the area. The cottage is clean and comfortable with an amazing view of the lake. The boat launch is nearby. Bring dock bumpers if you have a boat. Evart has a park for kids to play and includes a splash pad. You can ride horses at Rockin L Ranch just outside of Evart. The lake is just over 200 acres and offers decent bass fishing. It’s an all sports lake and did get lots of boat traffic while we were there. Most of the big boats were from the campground. The neighbors on each side of the cottage are very friendly and helpful. We experienced very good communication with the owner.
