A Sleepy, Rainy Weekend

Well, we were supposed to go skydiving for my wife’s 30th, but the weather chose not to cooperate. We just ended up going out for dinner and laying around watching movies. The dogs loved the downtown and the little bit of hiking we got to do. It was a necessary slow weekend, and this cabin was the perfect place to get away for it!

Very nice and relaxing

We stayed the week of labor day, we found the place just as listed very nice, clean and quiet. Everything you could possibly need was there, even a first aid kit, throw blankets abs plenty of towels. We also brought our dog, he loved the lake.. the only thing I would add is that a little out from the shore line is a bit mucky.. as most lakes are…next time I will bring some pool shoes for swimming. Nice trails in the woods within walking distance .. we enjoyed taking a nice long walk. Overall it was a superb vacation. I can only imagine how beautiful it is when the leaves turn colors. Definitely a 5 star on our books.

A tiny slice of heaven

Val was truly a first class host. She made us feel welcomed and promptly responded to our messages. The cabin was just what we wanted- quiet and clean. We loved the rowboat and kayaks. Looking forward to next year already.

About the host

Hosted by Val Luh

We feel so blessed to have found this beautiful place. We just purchased our cottage December 2012 and have already made great memories there. We skied at Mulligan's Hollow 7 times this past winter (boy do we get the snow here). We have had some fun spring weekends, and look forward to many more this summer. We live 3 hours away and have a wonderful property manager that has taken great care of our cottage and will take care of all your needs.

Why they chose this property

My family and I have been looking for this property for 3 years. This is a beautiful area. Hilly and curvy roads with that Western Michigan feel. This cottage is open concept with vaulted ceilings and 8 windows on top lets in lots of light. Our lot is one of the largest lots on the lake so you do not have neighbours at a very close proximity. There is so much room for parking .

What makes this property unique

This cottage is very private. The lot is very large and the neighbours are not very close. Many lake front cottages have neighbours right next door on both sides. This place is unique in that you have your space. Looking for peaceful night sleep, this is the place. We live in the city with cars, trains etc... We never sleep as well as we do when we are at the cottage. Hope you come and stay with us!
