We stayed at this property about four years ago and it was so nice to return! Jackie and Jim are lovely and the lake/house are really nice and relaxing. We hope to stay again!
Loved our week at cottage! Had great time fishing, boating and just exploring the interesting small towns in area. Also found fun things to do in grand Rapids, great place to spend week! Thank you jim & jackie!
My wife and I enjoyed a quiet, relaxing weekend stay. We enjoyed fishing, taking walks along the lake, and sitting on the beach reading books. We would highly recommend this place and location. Thank you, Jackie and Jim!
We really enjoyed the cottage and its amenities. Everything was clean and working properly. The location was very convenient for what we wanted to do in the area. Our hosts were helpful and generous. We hope to stay again in warmer weather so we could get out into the lake more.
Wonderful location. Beautiful sandy beach in your back yard! Husband had a lot of fun fishing. Close enough to Grand rapids for museums and zoo, for the rainy days. Definitely will return.
This was our second visit to this cottage and like the first it was an amazing stay. Just couldn’t ask for anything nicer. Cottage is equipped with anything you could possibly need including a very nice bottle of wine upon arrival. Located on a quiet dead end street in a great neighborhood and our hosts Jim and Jackie are two of the nicest people you could ever meet and fun to visit with.
We had an absolutely amazing stay. Our grand kids (8 and 18) joined us for the week and it was perfect for any age. Beautiful sandy beach and great fishing right off the dock. Cottage was spotless and had everything we could possibly need and more. Jim and Jackie were awesome to visit with and amazing hosts. Upon arrival fresh vegetables right out of their garden were provided along with a bottle of wine. Top notch and we’re making plans for next year already.
The cottage was perfect!! Great view of lake. We had the family over on Sunday to celebrate my granddaughter graduating and to see our great Neice for the first time. Even though it was a cold day the deck was warm due to the house blocking the North wind. Everything was just like the pictures bed was comfy and kitchen had everything you needed. Grill worked great. Will stay here again for sure!
The cottage was very clean and perfect for the week. The lake was beautiful, just wish we had more time to enjoy the water. The owners were very nice and helpful. We had a very bad storm and lost power. The owners were right there to assist with a generator and got the lights and well running. Thanks for being so nice! I would highly recommend this cottage and location.
every thing was awesome! my hosts were very nice folks. its the only place I've stayed that truly had EVERYTHING you need. the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots pans, and utensils. Very clean and well kept. Even came with a complimentary yellow lab to play fetch with. great little fishing lake. probably gonna go back this spring.
This was our third time staying at Jackie and Jim‘s place. Have loved it every time but unfortunately this was a shorter stay.
We definitely made the most of it and spent the majority of our time out on the boat! Lucky with the weather and the fishing!
Looking forward to next time!
Thanks so much!
The veggie crate was awesome, wine included! The row boat with trolling motor was a plus. We used it so much the owner had to keep recharging the battery for us. Our youngest loves to fish and she hauled in some big ones! Luckily there is air conditioning, it got pretty hot and humid a couple of nights. Overall a great time, thanks!!!
Owners, Jackie and Jim, were very generous with their time and their help, making us feel welcomed as they live next door.
They have furnished many amenities that make an extended stay, ours was 26 nights, most pleasant.
The electric grill was a bonus for us. Many meals were enjoyed on the deck and it was a beautiful place to relax or to read. It even has a shade solution, table and 4 chairs!
Every inch of the cottage was clean.
Another bonus was access to the lake with a small boat with an electric motor which we used for fishing. Having two kayaks allowed us to enjoy the lake at a leisurely pace.
The cottage is less than 10 minutes from hiking and fishing at Pickerel Lake, Townsend Park and a grocery store. Downtown Rockford is about 15-20 minutes away. Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, a favorite of ours, is about 15-20 minutes away.
If ever we needed to rent a cottage on a lake to be near our daughter’s family in Rockford, this would be on the top of our list!
