Although the weather was uncooperative, my family, friends, and I had a great week here.
We swam, kayaked, boated, grilled out and enjoyed s’mores over the fire pit. Of course, we enjoyed cooking and eating together and even used the A/C for a bit here and there. The location is superb! Barry was extremely communicative when we had a question for him. We had a great time!

Great place with beautiful view of lake

Gun Lake 2021
Very nice and relaxing stay. Had a couple of small problems that the owner took care of. The water was a bit murky but very refreshing. About 30 yards out it was kind of mucky. The swim platform was good for sunning and boat/people watching.

Great week at the lake
Loved the camp everything we needed was there. Plenty of room for the kids and adults. We would have loved a small beach for the kids but having the state park so close by made up for that. The only down side was the ducks made the floating mat unusable. The kids didn't mind as they loved jumping off the dock. Overall it was a wonderful week

Everything you need!
House was clean and included all of the kitchen and bath items you could think of! Barry was very responsive and easy to work with. One neighbor doesn't seem to appreciate having a rental next door as he wasted no time in laying down the rules within 5 minutes of our arrival. Everyone else around was very friendly!

Perfect spot!
I took my daughter, two grandkids and a three yr old black lab to this sweet cottage. We had a great stay! Owner has provided well with plenty of towels, life-jackets. Kitchen well-equipped for all you would ever need! The location is perfect with just steps to the water! Two kayaks are available, my 14 yr old grandson loved kayaking daily with his dog by his side! We rented a pontoon boat one day and enjoyed seeing all of beautiful Gun Lake ! I had several questions prior to our arrival and owner was prompt to reply! We would not hesitate to return!

Nice week
We had a very enjoyable week at this property. Being so close to the lake was awesome. Being there a week we brought a lot of food with us and found that the refrigerator and freezer had quite a bit of food in them, leaving less room for our stuff. Other than that, this is a very cozy and clean cottage. PS, always turn off the outside lights when you go to bed, the neibors dont like the bright lights on at night.

Nice cottage and great location
We rented this cottage for 6 weeks while our nearby home was being remodeled. Me, wife, daughter, and dog. Nice roomy two bedroom cottage 50 feet within the water's edge. Amazing views. Sandy bottom lake with gradual drop-off is great for swimming and other water sports. Neighbors on both sides are very nice, polite, quiet, and respectful. Lots to do in the immediate area. Deep lake mountain bike trail is awesome and only 5 minutes away. Great hiking trails too. Barry is a good landlord. He will do his best to accommodate any needs and is very responsive. This cottage rental is a very good value.

Cozy and nostalgic
Small, cozy little cottage with a nostalgic feel. Nothing complicated, just the simple lake life of days past. Lots of lakeside windows to open and let the lake breeze drift through the house all day and there's nothing like the sound of the water gently lapping at the shore to ease the stress. Had everything we needed. Had one minor plumbing issue pop up, but a quick call to the owner and he had a professional over to fix it same day with almost no invasiveness and no hassles to speak of. Owner was very pleasant to work with and generous with his time when I had questions. This place grew on us very quickly and we were all very sad to leave. Definitely give it a shot of you are looking for quiet and cozy.

Very relaxing and cozy
Really enjoyed staying at the property. House was clean and in a great location. Lake very close to back yard with great view. A friend told me about VRBO but stayed at a different house and the lake was about 100 yards a way which was a pain when they were dragging canoes from house. Owner easily contact and gave great info on food and activities in the area. There is a corner store and Sandy’s Country Kitchen within walking distance. Sandys has killer Bbq on Saturday.

We rented this cottage for a weekend because it was so close to our daughter’s wedding venue. It was perfect! It had everything we needed and we felt right at home. The bed was especially comfortable! We wish we had more time to enjoy the beautiful lake! We would definitely like to come back in the summer when we can enjoy it. It was also a bonus that our dog had a comfy, peaceful place to stay while we were at the wedding! Thanks for a great stay Barry!

Great place to bring your kids/grandkids!
We really enjoyed our week at Point of View cottage! Everything we needed was generously provided. It's on a great part of Gun Lake, perfect for kids because it's shallow and sandy. Our grandkids, ages 8 and 6 3/4, loved the floating mat and raft and catching fish off the dock. They also loved the bunk beds! The bed In the master bedroom was extremely comfortable. We saw ducks, swans and a blue heron. The view is spectacular! All our worries melted away! Thank you, Paxton Family, for sharing your cottage!

Great Lake view, right on the water
This cottage is exactly what we were looking for. Relaxing, great view right on the water, near a state park, and not too far of a drive from metro detroit. We have never stayed on Gun lake, it is a large, beautiful lake that exceeded our expectations. The owner was very accommodating,we would highly recommend staying here.

By far, the nicest cottage we have ever stayed in for vacation!
We were very impressed with how well the cottage was supplied w/everything we needed, from cooking, to sleeping, cleaning (great having a dishwasher!). The view of the lake from the patio doors was incredible! Made you just want to stay outside more! Loved the kayaks: I think we all tried them out. Eating our meals by the windows with views of the lake was great. Plenty of sleeping space for us all to sleep well. The fishing could have been better but at least we could all fish from the dock, especially Frankie, our 4 yr. old nephew who caught the very first fish! We enjoyed having a bonfire our last night, especially seeing sooooooo many stars in the clear sky. We came home with many great memories to share for years to come.
