Perfect place
Loved the property, the access to Lake Mitchel for ice fishing was great by Big Cove. Parking was great for truck and trailer. Perfect place for our trip. Just wish the weather would have cooperated with us to fish! Will be back in the future.

Quiet and pleasant area
We spent two enjoyable weeks at the “Yellow Perch” on Lake Mitchell. Easy to get to and easy to get to Cadillac, Mi. Many restaurants available. Would recommend the “13th street grill and The Timbers restaurant. The Yellow Perch has a great back yard view along with grill, fire pit, and access for boating. There is a launching ramp about a mile away and there are docks in the back yard. Quiet area and a great area for walking. The Kitchen was well supplied. Only reason we didn’t give it a 5 is the living room is dark and we recommended to the owner that more light should be made available, which he agreed to do. We hope to be able to go back in 2025.

Quiet neighborhood
Place was clean. There was an issue with the oven not working and the owner called immediately. Check in and out was simple. There is not a cleaning fee because he has you clean the house entirely before you leave. Kitchen was well stocked.

2022 Fall Trip
House was as advertised. Great location. Comfortable stay and quiet setting. Nice and friendly neighbors. Fall colors were awesome. Had fun in the water with the watercraft supplied. Downtown was not that far away so we enjoyed some good food too. Dewayne was always in communication and everything went smooth and easy with check-in and out. Love the area. Will be back up there for sure.

Fishing vacation
The house was very easy to find. The check in process was simple. The host was very accommodating because we had some date issues. Someone came during the evening to place the trash bin out to the street and put chunks of concrete in it while we were renting for that week. Didn't appreciate that because we had our boat with all of our fishing gear in the driveway and we felt it was secure. Nothing happened but we know someone was there.

We found the accommodations to be very nice. The price for the 5-day rental was right too. A canal connected us to Lake Mitchell With the option of using two docs. Overall experience was very good.

Loved the location, very simple to get into the house, use of the dock and firewood was perfect. Wish there was a queen or king size bed in the main bedroom but otherwise a nice stay.

Weekend Wedding Travel
We booked and stayed for out of town wedding. Sadly weather was rainy :( property was located on canal very nice location with kayak and paddle boat. We were able to enjoy couple hours kayak before departure. The place is cute little house (little dated) great for couple people. Would say only complaint which is really not a complaint is that the main room bed was only full size and as we are accustom to king an queen would be a much better fit for the main room( we were aware and stayed anyway). Owner has a very detailed cleaning list which we didnt minds as we clean after ourselves anyway. Was nice and key lock very convenient. Great little place in nice area.
