Wonderful vacation

Our stay at the Robert's lake house was great! The house was perfectly set up for spending a week at a lake house, from having all the kitchen amenities needed to the awesome kayaks & paddleboards available. Our 1 year old (& our lab) loved the water that they was able to hang out in safely with it being shallow near the beach. Having a fire “on the beach” was one of my favorite parts. You can tell the family takes good care of the house. We will definitely be back!

Great stay.

We had a lot of fun being on the lake. It was a relaxing experience and we needed no other entertainment. We enjoyed the area and the neighbors were very kind. The home was very comfortable and was exactly as described. The kitchen was well stocked and all of the amenities made this home fill like home. To put it frankly, we did not want to come home!

Fall Brilliance

The four of us traveled from Tucson, Nevada and California to see the Fall foliage and visit with old friends. The Roberts Lake House was perfect for our mini reunion. Cozy and warm, super comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, nice sized TV to watch our Padres, beautiful morning sunrises over the lake, and really nice neighbors. We met Scott the fisherman who offered up some fresh fish he had just caught. All in all, we were extremely happy with our stay. Thanks Kate & Tom! See you next time!

Everything We Needed

We were so pleased with our 1st stay at Roberts Lake House. Clean, comfortable and the lake was wonderful. I can’t imagine anything one would need that wasn’t thought of and supplied by the owners. We loved all the options for outside seating and the kayaks were so much fun. The beach was Sandy and clean. The owners have done such a nice job of decorating and furnishing the cottage. Having a 2nd bath was a nice plus.

Wonderful Summer Get-a-away!

We had an incredible time at the Roberts Lake House. It is clean, nice size, and had everything you could possibly need. We loved being able to go out onto the water right from the house. Has a very nice large deck with plenty of seating and a Weber grill. Kate was a great host, very responsive. It was a fun, relaxing, enjoyable vacation!

Anniversary Getaway

My boyfriend, our 2 dogs, and myself stayed for 5 nights. The property and house were so nice. Our dog loved playing in the water and so did we! We brought our jet ski, kayaked, and attempted the wakeboard. The location is perfect. We visited a couple wineries close by in Rockford and Grand Rapids. We made some great memories and will definitely be back!!

A week away without the drive!

My family & I rented the cottage for a week away from Grand Rapids without having to drive too far… worth it! The cottage feels bigger than the photos show; the deck(s) are awesome; the sand is clean; the lake feels great! While we mostly stuck around the sandy beach & dock, it was nice to have all the board games for a day inside as well. WiFi & Apple TV were a nice addition too! The use of paddleboards/kayaks and the dock is an added plus… the fishing in Lincoln Lake was great for our 3y/o! We caught fish left & right!!

Cute cottage on a big lake

Overall, my family really enjoyed staying here. The cabin was bigger than I'd expected from the pictures, the lawn and beach were really nice and perfect for my 2.5 year old niece. The house was well stocked with every kind of game you can think of, as well as a big basket of coloring books, colored pencils and even the kind of markers that only draw on special paper (again perfect for a 2.5 year old). The king size bed was SO confort

Great amenities

This cottage was well provisioned. Lots of dishes, pots and pans. Pretty much everything you would have in your home. Plenty of deck chairs, very nice beach and fire pit. It also had a great assortment of games and DVD’s. These came in very handy as it rained most of our stay. It was also very tastefully decorated. We will visit again so we can experience the beach and kayaks.

Slow down and relax

I walked in the house and my eye was drawn to the view out the back slider. The lake view was beautiful. This house was better than what I saw on line. My husband and I came to stay here to be near family. We were there to clebrate with family near, but enjoyed our time at Tom and Kate's house. I have a hard time relaxing but I found myself enjoying and relaxing in this setting. The neghbors were evan neighborly.

Great spot for family

Friendly owners who communicated well before and during our stay. Neighbors were nice and the sandy beach and swim area was perfect for our younger children. Lots of chairs both at the beach and on the deck. It was also nice to have kayaks and paddle boards available for use. We had a great time!

The cottage was so cute and was furnished with everything we needed to have a very enjoyable time.

We loved the large deck and all the seating outside. The sandy beach frontage was so nice too and we especially enjoyed kayaking on the lake for hours. Such a lovely place. I would rent it again in a heart beat. Thank you Tom and Katie.

Very Nice

We are regular lake front cottage renters and this place is great!!! Very clean, cute decor, pet friendly, and a beautiful beach! Our family had such a great time! Kate and Tom make the cottage life very comfortable and entertaining, providing many amenities. We brought our wakeboard boat with towables and very much enjoyed the sports lake. Another great amenity is that Lincoln Lake is it is attached to 2 other lakes ; black lake & blue lake. Black lake is for great fishing and blue lake should be called turquoise lake because it looks like the Caribbean!!! A great place to anchor and swim. Gorgeous! Family oriented. Highly recommend.

A vacation to remember!

Perfect place for our family to stay and extended family to gather for lunches and evening firechats! Our grandkids loved the big grassy yard and the sandy beach when they came By for visits! Great cozy spot for late night board games too! Comfy beds, nice sheets and towels, and fun “lake house” decor made it feel like a “home away” from home! Gorgeous views from the front door to the lake, lovely quiet mornings enjoying sunrises from the deck, breezes from the lake while watching birds- even a Heron-, and cool evenings around the fire pit conversing with our sons - made this - our first Michigan (and Lake) experience - a vacation to remember! Thanks for everything Kate and Tom! The Hoyts

Welcome Home

Returning to Michigan for family gatherings is always exciting. Finding the Roberts Lakehouse within walking distance of our own family home was a blessing. Not only was the Roberts Lake House equipped for an exceptionally comfortable stay for our immediate family, we were also able to enjoy time on the lake with our extended family. From quite mornings on the deck with coffee for two, to afternoon BBQ's and camp fires with the whole family, the accommodations were incredible. Thanks Tom and Kate for providing us with a home that will always be part of such an important family memory. We will be back!

Feel free to ask any questions you look forward to having you stay at our getaway.
