We had a wonderful stay, couldn’t have asked for more. Great location, and everything we could have ever needed in one spot. The back channel was peaceful and quite. Not ideal swimming conditions, but easy access to lake, and location to boat launch. Two full sized bathrooms were a pleasant surprise. Already planning a trip for a return. ##### Matt V.

Beautiful house nestled in quiet area of lake. Loved how dog friendly as well. We sat outside and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, watched birds, and enjoyed northern Michigan. The kayaks were clean and fun to use around the lake area. Yard games a bonus as well! Would definitely recommend house and we plan to stay again. Easy drive to Ludington and Silver Lake which we also did while staying for long weekend. Thanks for a great weekend of family memories! ##### Chrissy V.

We were definitely not left wanting regarding cooking, dining and cleaning supplies. Great thoughtful touches such as kayaks, canoes, cornhole, games, books, bluetooth speakers and Smart TVs with Roku guest mode. The location is stuck back in the marshy area of the lake, which may not be ideal for everyone, but there is a dock and you can get a boat in there, so it’s only a short little troll out to the big lake. Not a big deal at all and it ensures a nice quiet experience away from all the lake traffic. We loved it. ##### Douglas S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Calista Y. Oct 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay at Red Door Cottage! Beautiful cottage, spotlessly maintained! 100% as described. Beautiful view of "the bayou" with the fall colors. 2 pair of binoculars available for bird watching was a great perk! We watched a snowy egret AND a bald eagle fishing in the waters...awesome! Only downside was lots of Canadian geese AND tons of their droppings down by the dock and fire ring which made us stay up closer to the house or our dog would have been rolling in it evey day. Hey, nature is nature! They were fun to watch coming in for landings in the bayou!! Highly recommend this property!! ##### Calista Y. Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott O. Jul 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Getaway We really enjoyed our week. GPS is correct for this location. Plenty of parking. Very nice house, great condition and very clean. House is stocked well with supplies and kitchen necessities. Great having a washer and dryer. Very nice view of the bayou. Lots of wildlife viewing, especially Canadian Geese which love the lawn, so watch your step. Nice dock for your boat, but take caution on the bayou, it’s very a shallow. Once you get out to the main lake, it’s very nice and plenty of depth. If you like to golf, there is a very nice golf course about 5 minutes away, which they serve breakfast too. You’ll be happy with your stay. ##### Scott O. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Becca K. Aug 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer Trip 2023 We had an amazing time! Place was very clean, fully stocked kitchen utensils & supplies. Owners were very responsive when we had questions and they had a full book detailing everything about the place and surrounding area. Beautiful location over looking lake wet lands. Kids had a blast fishing right off the dock catching little fish left and right. We brought a boat and used the dock and bigger part of the lake for tubing and swimming. I grew up coming to this lake and it’s been many years since I have been back. Brought back a lot of great memories that we were able to pass to our kids. Thank you! ##### Becca K.
