Great Spot!

Pretty location, perfect for a winter weekend getaway. Deer walking in the backyard, pretty view from the hot tub. Nugget ice machine! Original windows, so a tad chilly laying on the couch. Have to get the heater just right and put the fireplace on. But was a great stay!

Family Wedding Stay

This was a perfect place for our family to stay for the weekend as we gathered for a wedding celebration. The property was well-maintained and our family loved the screened in porch. Everything was clean and the property had great layout. My family and I will definitely be back.

Christmas on the lake

We have stayed here before and it was a great experience. This year we decided to come and visit family for Christmas. The property is well-kept and has a nice view of the lake. We stayed inside mostly due to the cold weather. The family with my grandkids came over to visit. There are some games and toys for children to play with. We plan to stay here again when we are in the area.

Perfect peaceful getaway

We loved our short stay at the cottage! The location is serene. We spent as much time outside as we could, which was easy to do given how many activities were available to us. We loved walking on the trail, taking the kayaks on the water, and lounging in the hammock. The hosts truly thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. We can't wait to come back!

Clean and quiet on a nice little lake

Clean cottage with great lake views. It was a little colder than we anticipated, but we still tried to get out and enjoy the property as much as possible. The nature trails were nice for a little walk.

Best Staycation Ever

Even though we we only 35 miles from home it felt like we were in northern Michigan. Fantastic property and beautiful countryside. House amenities were exactly as listed. As it was very hot that week the AC in individual rooms was a huge plus. We spent many hours on the lake which was peaceful during the week. When we returned home, it was a unanimous vote. We are going back next summer!

Great Stay

Very Clean and spacious home with great waterfront and property. We caught a bunch of fish right off the fock. Was with my somewhat disabled father. He was able to get down to the water with little trouble. Would be a great stay for families. Had everything we needed. Great stay!

Everything you need

This was our second summer staying at this place on Sweezey Lake and it was just a good as last year. The house has everything you need to feel at home and enjoy your stay. They have comfortable bedding, towels for indoor and outdoors, life jackets, hot water, everything is clean, fire wood if you want to make a fire. There is no beach for swimming, but you can ride in one of the water toys and go to the sandbar to swim. We will be back!!
