This is our guest cottage listing. If you would like to rent the whole property including the main/front house that sleeps an additional 8, please also see vrbo 1335271 for rates, availability, and description.

This cottage is about 150 yards from waterfront and the 110 ft waterfront and beach is shared with the main cottage, so if you are renting the guest house and if the main house is also rented at that time, you will have to share the waterfront space. Dock is shared with neighbors; there is possible dock space available for another boat, check with owner.

A great time

The cottage was lovely. Only small problems mostly getting towels to dry because of wooded location. Other renters in the main house were very hospitable - we enjoyed their company around the dock and fire pit!

Cottage in the woods

We rented both properties together. This was the newer of the houses. Upstairs loft and two downstairs bedrooms with two baths. Nice and newer. No views, but we had family in the front house and shared the yard and dock for a great view from the dock and yard.

Little slice of Heaven!

We had such a wonderful stay, and Catherine was an incredibly accommodating and friendly host. We look forward to renting the cabin again in the future!

Beautiful cottage!

Beautiful cottage in the woods near the Walloon Lake. Close to the lake but not waterfront. Good location, if you want to take a trip to Charlevoix, Petoskey and to the Lake Michigan. The cottage was sparkling clean and big enough to accommodate our family.

Nice extension of main cottage. Updated interior but limited room

We rented both the main and 'guest' cottage for our trip. Together, both had more than enough room for the 11 people we had in tow. The guest cottage has a slightly updated interior with a smaller living room/common area for gathering. Renting both properties together was great as we only used the guest house for people to sleep, however I understand other reviewer's concerns about renting this one on it's own. While the cabin is nice, there is no yard and it is stuck in the trees so no room for activities, deck is alright. While you can walk up the drive to the main house to access the lake/yard, i can see it being awkward if someone else is in the main cottage.

Suitable only if you are using it for a place to sleep

The cottage sits behind another main house on the same property, by same owner. The pictures of a lake view and use of beach are misrepresented. The main house has the lake view, while the cottage is a football field away from the lake and is in a deeply wooded section of the lot, (sits in the back by the road). If you plan on using the lake or beach, you will be sharing it with strangers that are renting the main house. Nice sandy beach and clear lake, but the roughly 100 feet of shoreline made it very tight for our family of 6 and their family of 7 to enjoy, (absolutely no privacy). We were planning to use this cottage for our family's summer vacation but left after 2 nights (paid for 5 nights). Even a full refund would not have made up for our disappointment. This was a very, very disappointing experience. Best to rent the entire property, cottage and main house. However, from the VRBO listing, we were not aware this was an option. This cottage can sleep 6 but does not serve 6. No cookware available to prepare simple meals. (I had to go to town to purchase a sauce pot in order to boil water to cook pasta.) There were 3 fry pans available but not suitable for use because the Teflon was severely scratched and peeling. One small table with only two dinning chairs. If you are looking for a rental on this beautiful lake, look for a different property or perhaps rent the main house from this owner and if you want privacy, also rent the cottage. Giving this property a one star rating is generous.
