Beautiful Lakefront Cottage

Fun in the sun and the best ice cream

This was a great house for any age. There were puzzles and games, floats for the water and a fire pit. And if the weather was gloomy we had a blast playing ping pong. And just a short drive away was the best ice cream from a local creamery made with local strawberries Cairns country cones. Also, you have to stop by Hamel’s bakery and nursery. The best homemade doughnuts. Lots of unique gifts and fresh produce. A definite favorite place to stay. The house was spotless and they provided everything you need for a great time.

Super clean home on a quiet lake...

We had a lovely time at this Cozy Cottage. Everything in the home feels clean and new, beds are great, and ping pong was a hit with the kids. Even the knives were sharp; a rarity in the VRBO world. The outdoor space, with sand and firepit and easy access to the water is quite nice--lovely to see little frogs, cranes and bald eagles. Only downside was that there wasn't an easy place to eat al fresco for dinner -- grill was in the front of the house and the small table at sand level isn't convenient to get to from kitchen. Not a deal breaker, it's just the way the property is configured on a steep decline--with stairs from the street and then stairs again to the water level. Also enjoyed the Fred Meijer Flat River Trail in Greenville and my youngest enjoyed the zoo at the Anderson & Girls orchard in Stanton. Communication with host throughout was fantastic. Overall, a great time and would recommend!
