The house is a great lake front house. We were here over a long winter weekend and so didn't make much use of the large screened in porch but did enjoy the beautiful views of the lake (and eagles in the trees out front).Host was easy to work with and responsive to all questions. Check in was super easy.

What a wonderful end of summer family get together! The house set up was perfect for 10 adults and we loved being able to have our dogs with us! Thank you!
My family & I rented the cabin for a little family fun before the rat race of the school year begins. As soon as we walked through the door, everyone said, “Wow!” at the view. The lake is simply stunning!
We enjoyed using the kayaks provided and had a blast jumping off the diving boards. My son & I even trotted down to the lake our first night to view the meteor shower. The stars were amazing!
For the most part, everyone slept well. Please note that the bedroom that faces the lake has a thin mattress, but the other beds have the
standard size.
Cottage was roomy, with a huge screened porch that is shaded by trees, but still provides a nice view of the lake.
There is a very nice dock and a neighborhood swim platform with diving boards. The playroom downstairs has a video game player for kids. Lake is crystal clear.
We had a great time and relaxing vacation. House was spacious and comfortable. Loved the screen porch and the view of the lake. Fire pit was perfect on a chilly evening. Water is very clear and we had fun taking the kayaks out.
Overall, great place and location. Note that there is no a/c. House is right on the lake, which is clear. Dock is newer. Rowvoat and 2 kayaks, life vests, toys, all available. Inside very clean. Outside could have used a hose down (covwebs). Would stay here again, we enjoyed it!
The tragic death of my son over the summer prompted me to throw a huge Christmas for his children. The house was perfect for it. I brought Xmas decor and a tree, and the place looked great with it up. Bring your cameras, and fishing gear. We saw a bald eagle fishing right in front of the cottage and kingfishers trillin all over the place. My sons didn't bring a boat but cant wait to fish the lake.
The house was easy to locate and in a wonderful location. The view was beautiful with the sunrise right there overlooking the lake.
I would absolutely recommend this location again.
This property is top notch and so comfortable for families of all ages. Little hospitality touches are abound on the property. We will definitely come back again in the summer. Thank you so much for a wonderful place to stay
Beautiful lake home in a peaceful setting. Only 2 miles from the wedding we attended nearby. The house was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We enjoyed the kayaks on Big Whitefish Lake, which is clear and has a sandy bottom. The house is well-equipped, and the screened-in porch looking over the lake is fantastic. Excellent bird-watching, and our dog loved the place too! Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you, Patricia!
This was our second time renting this house. Beautiful location that is conveniently located to Lake Michigan and Grand Rapids. Quiet neighborhood and surprisingly not a huge amount of boating activity on the lake, so you don’t have a constant noise of power boats. The owners are very responsive. Highly recommended.
This was our second summer staying on Big Whitefish lake. The property is perfect for our family of 9. The property has all the amenities needed, as well as some bonus items. The diving platform especially is always a hit with the kids!
Beautiful views from every window and a private dock! This place was a lovely get away for my wife and dog.
