We were looking for a quiet and relaxing break and that's exactly what we got! Mornings on the deck with coffee while watching and listening to the many birds were great starts to the days. The house was clean and set up nicely. The updates you have done so far were very nice and we look forward to staying again sometime.
We had a GREAT time staying at this cottage for a 4nt trip. The best part was definitely the kayaks!!! We puddled around the flowage/channels, as well as out on to the main part of Tubbs Lake and Lower Evans Lake. Mecosta is known as the "Everglades of MI" and we saw so much wildlife- turtles, herons, swans, loons, kingfishers and more!!! LOVED it! We even fished from the kayaks and had amazing luck with bluegills, sunfish and crappies not far from the cottage. Beautiful sunsets from the pier and kayaks for the last evening floats. Relaxing and unplugging at it's best...The patio/grill area was used each night (and morning for coffee!), as was the fire pit. Yeah for smores!! The kitchen is pretty well stocked with cooking/prepping necessities, spices, Keurig pods, and containers- we did not eat out while here, so can't attest to area bar and grills or otherwise. We did visit Fate's grocery in Remus- it was full service and reasonable.The surrounding neighbors were quiet while we were here (midweek), and the 8 wandering cats entertained our girls, but our dog was not as happy... He doesn't like cats, and it was not easy to let him outside without one or 2 wandering around somewhere. A few were VERY friendly, most were skittish. Lastly, Stacey was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Bonus- the beds were very comfortable too!
Cozy lake house. Large yard, perfect for yard games, grilling, or a fire around the fire pit. Bonus that yard games, a grill, and the fire pit are all provided!
Additionally, having access to the kayaks and life jackets was fantastic. And the neighborhood cats (Jack Jack & Tig) were a big hit with our son!
The view of the lake was amazing! Having the kayaks readily available on site was a fantastic perk. We were out on the lake everyday. Bonus that the area is surrounded by state land AND we had great weather!
The layout of the cottage was exactly what we anticipated. No surprises. Very clean and very cozy.
The internet connection was top notch. We didn't care that there was no cable. We never turned on the television.
All in all, a great week! We would recommend to family and friends AND would return again.
