Three bedrooms with room for way more than the six we had including kids. The crib was a nice bonus meaning we didn’t have to bring a pack-n-play for my daughter to sleep in. The house was very clean and offered all the amenities and more. All of the adults in our group agreed that we will book this listing again in the future. Having relatives in Kalkaska, this location works great for us. ##### John K. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Loretta S.

There is lake access but it is not directly on the property and a bit difficult to decipher on the map. Everything was in working order. Kitchen is stocked with a lot of dishes, glasses, and utensils. ##### Loretta S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Tracy M.

Everything was so clean and just as expected. It was a beautiful cottage in the Woodland area and the walk down to the beach was actually not bad at all. We thought it would be further but it was a short walk and carrying the kayaks was a short trip that we went back for more because the distance to the lake was so short. The lake water was gorgeous! It had a sandy bottom all the way up to your chest which went about 100 feet. It was beyond beautiful. This was our first girls trip and we will definitely be using a freshwater vacation rental again soon!! ##### Staci K. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sandra S.

The neighboring properties are far enough away that there is a semblance of seclusion. all of the appliances are modern and the property was well maintained. The lake is nice for swimming and boating. The vessels at the property worked well. ##### Brandon S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah S., Where do you live? Jul 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay The place is beautiful, clean and welcoming. The rooms are bigger than we expected. The beach was small but very nice. Would recommend the stay. Even though it was hot the trees kept it nice and cool. ##### Sarah S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken G.
