Good place to stay for a weekend with family
Cottage wasn’t much to look at from the road but was very clean and updated inside. The road to the cottage was pretty rough. The beds were comfortable and clean. The view of the small lake was very peaceful. Overall a good stay.

The property owner was incredibly responsive and every detail in the cottage was perfect. We were in town for 2 nights for work and it felt like going home in the evening. So relaxing, thank you.

Don’t expect much.
This was far from clean…daddy long legs hanging in cobwebs and dust bunnies in every corner. Mind boggling what people consider “clean”. Served its purpose as a place to just sleep during commencement weekend.

Weekend Stay
This property was absolutely perfect for our weekend stay. It is very aesthetically pleasing, and comfortable. The backyard is a perfect setting, with a fire pit right on the water. We sat out there and watched the big swans on the lake. The location was perfect. We attended the Michigan game and the travel to and from the stadium was short and no traffic. There were tons of places to eat that was close by. This property is at the top of my list of places to stay!!!

Great updated rental
We visited Brighton to spend time with our daughter. The home was updated, clean, and well stocked. Super friendly neighbor who shared his paddle boat and fishing poles. The weather didn’t cooperate so we didn’t get to use the SUPs provided by the owner. The neighborhood is pretty run down but quiet and safe. Morning coffee outside or in the living room had a beautiful view of the lake. Fire by the lake at sunset was perfect for catching up!! We appreciated all the extras and attention to detail! Thank you for a nice weekend with family!

Nice
The ad said property had a Sandy beach. The beach was not maintained lots of rocks and some sand. My grandkids didn’t come out to visit because of the condition of the beach area. I feel I should get some money returned because of the misleading claim of a beach. I have photos and will try to attach. Wearing socks in house got dirty really fast when walking around. The property manager was great and very pleasant and resolved all the issues I took to

Great weekend get away. My boys had baseball and basketball tournaments and instead of a hotel we stayed here. They were able to fish in between games and have a bonfire at night and hang out. The neighbors were super friendly and helpful too.

A very cute place for a weekend stay. I loved the updated look and the non-toxic products in the home. My favorite was the doTERRA essential oils with a diffuser! We would love to come back in the summer when we can enjoy the lake.

My son and I recently stayed at Tatiana's lake front home and honestly I think it was one of the first that I had a positive review from my son :) he enjoyed getting up and trying the paddle boards out and just relaxing outside to a fire and enjoying the lake.

Great place!
Great place to stay if you’re looking for a quiet lake stay. Inside was comfortable. Kitchen was a good size but a little light on plates/utensils. The grill worked well and we used the fire pit a couple times. Bring your own firewood or pick it up nearby. The beach area is sandy but gets mucky a little ways out. Would have been really nice to have a kayak to take the kids out in. Overall this was a great, relaxing stay. Thanks!
