Nice cottage for a family
Great time! The property has 3 bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs. Was a comfortable space for 6 adults and 3 toddlers. It was a nice set up for the kids to have a large carpeted basement to run around in. The water was shallow, perfect for 4 and 3 year old to play in. There is a place to rent a pontoon for the day on pine lake, 5 minutes from the house- it was awesome. Meijer was about 15 minutes away, but there is a small store at the end of the street. We went to Kalamazoo for dinners/breweries, which was about 30minutes away. Clean and comfortable place to stay, the internet and A/C worked well!

Beautiful house
The house was very clean and big enough for our family of 11 (8 adults and 3 toddlers). We had 2, 2 year olds with us and they loved playing in the sand and water. They could go to the end of the dock and still touch. The basement area was large, so we could all hang out together without being on top of one another. There is a small store that served ice cream and pizza at the end of the street, within walking distance.

Pine Lake
Beautiful home on Pine Lake. It was an excellent place for 3 families; 6adults and 3 children. They had kayaks to use, a small sand beach, and great accommodations. A beautiful touch when we first arrived was the bottle of wine with a personal greeting. Caroline and Brad were so accommodating. Looking forward to returning next year.

Pine lake getaway
Very neat and clean. 8 mile drive to a real grocery store. Enjoyed the lake boating and fishing. Surprised the lake had no boating regulations. Many lakes have a quiet time in the evening. Boaters were skiing and tubing till dark. Overall a very enjoyable stay..

Great spot for a family vacation!
Great spot, perfect for young kids who are learning to fish. "Fish on" within 10 seconds! Very nice quiet cove on a big lake. had a small lake feel, and the bigger lake portion was accessible by kayaks. Plenty of kayaks were there for use! The house was very comfortable and cute! Owners paid attention to detail! Happy there were lots of little spots for kiddos to nap also! Highly recommend this spot!

Fun lake getaway
House was clean and comfortable. The lake was nice and big. We had fun using the kayaks even though they were not kept clean and one of the seats backs kept coming lose. There was an ant issue and we had to throw away some baked goods we left on the kitchen counter. There were limited pots and pans for cooking. We enjoyed watching TV and playing games in the family area on the lower level. It was also nice sitting around the fire pit in the yard but needed a fire poker. Overall, we had a fun and relaxing time.

Great place and lots of amentities!
We had a wonderful time! Can’t wait to come back next year! Was the perfect lake for both fishing and tubing! We loved hanging out at the sandbar by the flag too! There were so many amenities including outdoor games and toys for the kids! We really loved meeting Tim at the little marina at the end of the road too he gave our girls bread to feed the fish and we got to see Yertle the turtle! Would highly recommend a steak knife set, scissors, and blackout curtains in the bedrooms. Also the back bedroom door gets stuck when opening and closing and is noisy for others sleeping. Overall we had the best time and can’t wait to go back next year!

Hosts were very responsive to my questions. Cottage worked well for my family of 7adults and 2 young kiddos. Downstairs living room was a great place to play games while kids slept on the main floor. Cottage was very clean, with some special touches that we appreciated. We would love to rent again!

Lovely house
My family and I had a lovely time at Pine Lake Cottage this past week. The house was perfectly suited for our group of 7. We had fun using the kayaks and sitting around the campfire in the evening with the firewood provided. I especially loved the option of the upper and lower decks. If it was too sunny or raining, the lower deck provided shade and shelter and a place to set up our table for games.

Great home on a fun lake
This home was a wonderful fit for our family. The big backyard was great for having a fire pit - thanks for the firewood supply. The open kitchen / living room area was great so that we could cook and hang out with everyone at the same time. The pots and pans could use some additional pieces such as a sauce pot, but we made it work. The outside balcony and downstairs seating areas were great hang out areas. We LOVED kayaking the coves of Pine lake and using the paddle boat. Brad was very responsive and promptly addressed our questions and concerns during our stay. The fresh flower greeting was such a nice touch. Thanks Carolyn & Brad! Below are some suggestions: --Add shades to the front and back of the house due to the hot sun in the morning on the lake side and then the hot sun in the afternoon on the front side. --The mattress on the 1st queen bedroom(on the right down the hall) needs replacing --Could have used just a little more lake bottom area cleaned out for swimming. The lake was so fabulously clear and perfect temp!
