4th time staying

This was the fourth time we have stayed here so that means we are extremely happy with everything. Sue is easy to communicate with. She goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable staying there. She is open to suggestions. The house is lovely & very comfortable in the late summer or winter, the seasons we have stayed there.

Perfect Weekend Gathering Spot

We were in town for a canoe trip, but it rained most of the day we were supposed to canoe so we got out the card table and extra chairs and played euchre instead. We also ordered BBQ brisket from town next to Walraven’s. Top notch! Using our kitchen we were able to make a salad and create quite a buffet and still have room for people to sit. There were eight people staying at the cottage and two additional friends came over. The cottage accommodated all of us. Plenty of spaces for people to spread out. Three separate bedrooms as well as outside spaces. Parking was also adequate for four vehicles. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We enjoyed Netflix on the main TV in the living room. The beds are comfortable (with the exception of the pullout) and all linens are very nice. The design and decor are updated and welcoming. Our hosts were helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

Second stay

This is the second time we stayed at the Cozy Cottage. The first time was to spend Christmas 2021with family in the area. It was perfect for us; a great space and Sue was a great host. We liked it so much we decided to stay there again when we were visiting family in September for a few weeks. This time we got to enjoy the outdoor spaces -- the fire pit, a table for eating outdoors and outdoor games for our grandnieces and nephews. We will be back again! Thanks Sue and Ed.

Cozy, restful place to stay to end our our summer vacation

We were so happy to find this house for our family to stay at while we were in town for our kids’ mountain bike races at the college. We all slept so well because of the comfy beds and ceiling fans in every room!!! We cooked a lot of meals at the house and the beautiful, stocked kitchen made that more enjoyable! The grocery store was so close and there’s a really good coffee shop/bakery/boutique a couple of minutes from the house in Harrison called Up North Coffee. If our kids race at Mid Michigan College in the future we would definitely try to stay here again!

Family Vacation #1

We had a fabulous time staying at the Cozy Cottage. The place was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. We enjoyed the back yard for every meal and played with the two friendly cats that greeted us. Because the back door was off the den with the pull-out sofa (4th bedroom), it was a little invasive going through to the backyard. We simply used the front door. The den space may be best for kids rather than full size adults. Nearby Wilson State Park was great for swimming & kayaking. Thank you, Sue & Ed for having us.

Perfect Getaway!

Sue has thought of every detail! This cabin is adorable, tastefully decorated, and has all the comforts of home. Great back patio for sitting by a fire in the evening. It is a very short walk down to the community beach. Beach is sandy and were the only ones there. Would highly recommend!

Budd lake house

Great little rental on Budd lake. The house was perfect, and the back patio was great. The house was a bit dusty however everything else was neat and tidy. The master bath shower knob was broken, as well as the head in the spare bathroom. The beach was very close by, however it was quite small but useable. We had a mini family reunion and everyone enjoyed the time at the house.

The property was clean and updated. We had a very good time and will definitely consider staying at one of the properties should we vacation in this area again. We walked the surrounding area, rented a pontoon boat, went golfing, and used the full kitchen to prepare meals. 5 star experience.

Cozy cottage is a great place to stay

The cozy cottage was a great place for us to stay while celebrating Christmas with family who live in Harrison. It has a great layout and is attractive and comfortably furnished. The family room in the basement was a great room to gather in and there were plenty of toys and games for both adults and children. We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw how nicely Sue had decorated the cottage for the holidays – thanks for the extra effort Sue. We hope to return again.

Girls Getaway YaYa vacay

This Cozy Cottage was exactly as described. Beautifully decorated, and layout was so easy to maneuver. All three bedrooms were different in decor but so cute...and so comfortable. Kitchen was stocked with some basic needs to get us started..though we left coffee for next renters because that was the only thing that was needed right off. The owners had left water in fridge which we appreciated and did the same. Spices and condiments were also available. We brought the card table up from the basement so we could play cards and games at night, after we came in from sitting around the fire pit in the back yard. We especially enjoyed the outdoor set up with furniture and fire pit. Wonderful memories... We couldn't get the television to let us in to use our Netflix, but, in all actuality, we do not miss tv...and the internet was spotty because of stormy weather we thought..and again we didn't miss it. We love the Cozy Cottage and would love to stay with you again sometime!

Amazing home with excellent property owners

Our stay was amazing. The house was exactly as pictured on the VRBO website. The property owners communicated effectively and were very pleasant. The house was immaculate and was located in a nice neighborhood. We wish we had more time to enjoy the property, but our son was getting married and we were back and forth from the venue.
