Parking: 3 vehicles or 1 vehicle and 1 truck and trailer. However, DO NOT DRIVE OR PARK in the area between the garage and the back of the cottage as this is the location of the SEPTIC tank and field.

Pets: Freshwater Vacation Rentals currently charges $75/per pet for your entire stay. Yes, we do accept dogs, yet we do ask that you please clean up after them both inside and outside the cabin. Plus, if you allow them on the furniture, we do ask that you please bring your own linens/blankets for them to sleep on. Just let us know which bed you will be using with them, and we'll make sure it is ready for your sheets when you arrive. Plus, if the pet hair starts to build, we do ask that you please run the vacuum. Generally, dogs love the water and places to explore. Pet food does tend to attract mice, so vigilance is needed.

Snowmobiles: You can ride right from the property, trail is across the street and garage access for your sleds. A person (resident and nonresident) that operates a snowmobile in Michigan is required to purchase a snowmobile trail permit.

Beautiful home with a view.
Beautiful home with all the amenities. Plenty of room for our family to celebrate Thanksgiving. The house had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Kitchen stocked with utensils, pots and everything necessary, we played games and enjoyed a warm fire. Would love to come again in the summer time and enjoy the water.

Planned for 12 but only 2 of us made it.
Beautiful stay but hot water took forever to get warm. Hot water tank set for warm when we arrived so turning to Hot took awhile. Suggest adding recirculating pump to hot water loop.

Rodents- Avoid this House
Overall, the house was averagely maintained with a few exceptions: The bedroom plugs did not work unless the lights were on which made our entire stay inconvenient. There were dead mice in a live trap located on the roof right outside the broken bathroom window. They began to stink in the heat which was absolutely disgusting. The shower becomes extremely slippery when wet, and without a mat became dangerous for our elderly family members. Trash cans were full upon arrival. Dirty laundry was left in bedrooms and the basement.

Memorial Day Farmer Lake Lodge
Cabin was cozy and cute. View was incredible at sunset but so were the mosquitoes. Kitchen was well stocked for large crew of 11. However we did run out of paper towels and toilet paper. Another sitting area screened-in or another area to gather and visit would make this cabin UP perfect! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Peaceful Family Time
The cabin was well stocked and beautifully situated on Farmer Lake. There were nice views of the lake from the family room and master bedroom. We enjoyed our stay and would like to go back in the summer.
