About this cottage rental

Our cedar cottage on pristine, spring-fed Big Whitefish Lake is an all-season retreat and full of charm! The views from this lakefront home are unforgettable. The cottage offers four bedrooms, including a newly remodeled basement and bathroom. You can head down the new stairs to your own brand-new private dock, just a short swim from another dock that features two diving boards (available until Labor Day). Two kayaks and a rowboat are available for use, as well as swim floats and beach toys between May and September. Good fishing available off our dock This is a wonderful remote work location with excellent WiFi. Pets are welcome!

This was an amazing retreat! Home had everything we needed plus more. Please make sure you understand the amount of steps that go down to the lake. We knew and it was still a lot. But, I feel in better shape leaving. Haha. Kitchen has everythingfor your cooking needs (plus all of the cleaning essentials for dishes), tons of towels (so you don’t have to bring your own), kayaks, swim toys, grill and outdoor fire pit. Absolutely loved the screen in back porch!! The view is spectacular from the porch. The home is cozy and quaint. Lots of neat things on the walls. Also, we spent so much time on the floating dock with the diving boards! So much fun!! If we weren’t going back to the beach next summer, we would totally rent this place again. Also, shout out to the neighbors. They were awesome also!

We greatly enjoyed our time at the lake. This was a first for us and it could not have gone more smoothly. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your home and travel with our dogs.

Beautiful, comfortable property! It was the perfect combination: felt like an "old school" family Cottage--- but with upgrades to the bathrooms, kitchen, and entire downstairs, that made it comfortable for what we expect in 2026. We loved the giant screened in porch, and the landing (on the way to the lake) with the rocking chairs… We were there at the very beginning of May, so it was breezy and kind of cool, and being able to be up on the porch and protected from the wind made the porch an awesome place for morning coffee, or dinner. The dock hadn't been put out, yet, but around dusk I sat down on the bottom steps, and saw all sorts of small wildlife.We felt far away from everything, yet drove only an hour to the tulip festival, in Holland, which was the purpose of our trip… And then spent a delightful afternoon at the Chihuly exhibit, at the Meijer Botanical Gardens, 1/2 hr away, in Grand Rapids.Suggestions: If you don't want to be up at sunrise, bring sleep masks; the upstairs bedrooms are very bright, as soon as the sun is up… There is no grocery store nearby, just a convenience store, and a really great ice cream/lunch place; you may want to come prepared with the bulk of your food… We were there during spring cleanup, and there was a tremendous amount of leaf blower noise, from the Neighbors. (On Saturday and Sunday it was about 3 to 4 hours each day!… Only about an hour each day on the weekdays.) We would go again to this great place, but not on a w/e in early May!
