Beautiful cottage in the woods!

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage on Big Star Lake SO much. The communication with Jodi before and throughout our stay (we had a couple of questions while we were there) was prompt and helpful. The cottage itself is very nice, comfortable and well-equipped. Highly recommend!

Great location, quiet area

The property was just as described. Quiet cabin on the lake and well furnished. We enjoyed drinking coffee in the morning on the deck and a cozy fire during the evening. Jodi was quick to respond to any questions we had. Checking in and checking out was easy. We had a very relaxing time and would stay here again!

A+ VRBO experience

This was a beautiful property - both the home and the setting. Clean and modern. The owners were fantastic to work with. Great communication. We rented their pontoon boat for a very rainy Saturday so they graciously allowed us to use it on Sunday at no additional charge! We plan to return again next year - might be our go-to VRBO :)

Restful tranquility

The property was amazing. The house was super clean and cozy. Jodi had everything you could possibly need from kitchen supplies, games, fishing gear, kayaks, paddle boat, and firewood. She even left us a gift for our first fire. She gave us great suggestions when we chose to venture out. We rented her pontoon for a day on the lake. Don't hesitate to stay here. We hope to return.

Lake view house

Extremely peaceful setting in the woods with a spectacular view of a beautiful lake. We were here in October for salmon fishing nearby. I am sure this is a fantastic place to be in the summer. The host was very accommodating to our needs. An awesome property and host.

Great property

We really enjoyed our week stay at this property. We saw a Bald Eagle fishing in the lake. The decking that goes to the lake is magnificent. The decking at the lake is huge and very comfortable. The house is modern and clean. We have rented a number of vacation rentals over the years and I would rate this as one of the better ones.

Perfect lakefront getaway.

The rental was pristine and the owner attentive and accommodating. All my questions were answered in a timely manner and the owners did everything they could to enhance our stay. Highlights included a spacious deck with a fireplace, elderly-friendly stairs to the water, and a sun-soaked dock with ample seating. We docked our boat with ease and enjoyed the vast 1000-acre lake, ideal for swimming, water sports, and cruising. Overall, 10/10 experience and I’d happily rent this property again in the future.

Big Star Lake Home Rental

We rented the 2 BR 2 Bath house for 4 Nights, along with a fishing pontoon boat at the property. We very much enjoyed our stay. The area and home site are surrounded by forest which is very peaceful. When on the lake, the air temperature is pleasantly cooler, making an 88-degree day feel like 75 degrees. Nice fire pit, we did S'mores. Interior of home is clean, liked the laminate flooring. TV and internet worked fine. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes and utensils. Grocery store 10 minutes away had everything we needed. Ludington State Park and Lake Michigan beach is 35 minute drive.

Everything was Excellent

Friends and I rented this cabin for the weekend, and it was amazing! The inside has been updated and it’s really clean. Outside you have five decks with great views, and you’re surrounded by trees. We grilled food, went kayaking, went swimming, this property has it all. Jodi was very responsive, even though we really didn’t need anything. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back next year!

Perfect Little Cottage

I wish I could give a rating of 10 and wasn’t limited to 5 stars! The house itself is immaculate and well stocked for all of your needs! You can easily sleep 6 comfortably using the air mattress in the living area while still having use of the room (this trip was 2 of us but we are a big family so I was scoping it out). There is ample parking and the frontage is well maintained as well. The decking outside with seating is great as well as the landings on your way down the stairs. The railings and steps are well maintained and we had no reservations traversing them. We had such a wonderful, peaceful time and cannot wait to come back! I have been coming to this lake for over 35 years and it’s one of the best experiences I’ve had. Owners are easily accessible and helpful. There is a helpful note to let you know not only property expectations but also lake rules and quiet times for the area. The welcome gift was awesome too! We will be back for sure!
