Lake Retreat
Enjoyed the lakefront property. Was quiet and cozy.
Space for kids to play ploutside and equipment for kayaking was the family favorite.
Our family lives on thisblake and were within quick waking distance.

Beautiful Lake View
Everything was as described and very comfortable. We’ve stay on this same chain of lakes for the past 3 years in different rentals and this location gets the prize for the best lake view. Very beautiful. Neighbors were friendly. Our daughters, 7 & 8, had a great time swimming in the lake. Great experience overall.

Perfect Fall getaway!
Beautiful, well appointed cottage with great lake views! We especially loved sitting on the large outdoor patio, right on the lake, taking in the fall foliage. Close drive to other fall festivities around Dexter: corn maze, pumpkin patch, cider mill, etc... Highly recommend!
