Wonderful place to stay. Cooking in the basement kitchen was a breeze. Would highly recommend to others looking for a place to stay. Make sure you can climb stairs though there are about 25 to the water.

Great Vacation!

We had an excellent stay here. There were 4 adults and one toddler . Plenty of room. House is well equipped. We rented a pontoon boat for the week from Lake Ogemaw Marina which is less than a block away so it was very easy and convenient. The house had both paddle boards and kayaks to use. The beach area is huge and very nice. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Warm and Welcoming

We had beautiful weather! I am sure Pete made that happen. The beach was nice and everyone we came upon was very friendly. People who do rent should be aware the beach and beach toys are shared with the neighbor, who is the owner, but they are very nice and I imagine during the week that wouldn't be an issue. Kayaks and paddle boards are in great condition and we were able to rent a boat from the friendly marina down the road and were able to dock it right at the house! House is clean and roomy. Bedrooms on the smaller side, but why would you ever be in them. So much space on the porches and outside to hang out as well as in the basement which is nice and cool. Oh, and bikes too! We took a bike ride around the entire lake. A nice little journey.

Lake Ogemaw VRBO

We all had a great stay! The house and property were better than pictured. Everything we needed was provided kitchen wise with a good selection of pots, pans and casserole type dishes. The covered deck on the house was so nice to have to be out of the sun for my 97 year old Aunt. Loved the beach in front of the house especially the kayaks and paddle boards! Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Peaceful getaway

Great property with beautiful view of the lake. We had a mother/son weekend with 5 moms and 5 teenage boys! It was nice to be able to use the paddle boards, kayaks and paddle boat. Friendly neighbors, clean house. We did a kayak trip down the river which was a great outing. The boys had fun fishing and exploring the lake. It was a bit difficult to have the checkout time be 10am, but we managed ok. Great communication with the owner, Pete. He is quick to respond and we had everything we needed for a fantastic weekend!

Great cottage

We got there Sunday evening. House was in immaculate condition. Great views of the lake. A nice added bonus is the new outdoor scaping of the beach. My kids 16,14 and 13 had a blast paddle boarding, kayaking and especially fishing. Our hosts also took us on a beautiful tour of the lake on their boat and even took to us to the store at the marina to get ice cream. Definitely recommend this rental.
