WITH SOME ATTENTION IT WILL BE GREAT!

Cassandra the property manager is wonderful! Responsive and attentive to any concerns. Not on the water but a very short walk to a nice dock, which is directly across the street from property on a grass lot. A shed full of kayaks and flat boards. Water 5 feet or so In most of the area around Dock. Was able to walk out over a hundred yards with feet touching the bottom. We do have a list of concerns shared with Cassandra. Some of the items listed you may never notice, some you may want added to the list of “to dos.” Check with Cassandra about our list provided 8/23/24. With our list of things that need attention being completed, I think it will be a good value. As it is we did not realize the value. Good Luck.

Perfect Location w/ Dock!

As far as location, nothing beats this cottage. Walk across the road to your private boat dock, walk into town for breakfast or boutique shopping, and don't miss my personal favorite restaurant in all of Michigan, The Glenwood. The cottage was lacking a few basic items; bring your own (or perhaps the owner will add these) wine glasses, toaster, cutting board, and a larger coffee pot would be much appreciated! We had plenty of room in the side yard to park our truck & boat trailer. Launching at the city park is very close & convenient. Property manager Ken was a great communicator and very nice guy! We've been visiting Onekama for many summers, & have stayed at several rental properties and a local bed & breakfast, but this cottage was our favorite. Onekama is a beautiful village & we are looking forward to becoming community members!

Great location and cute place.

I loved the lake view and access. Kids loved being in town and biked everywhere. Bathroom is not luxury, but works. Over all a nice place to stay.
