5/5 Nice location, beautiful views.

Just what we needed!
5/5 We were looking for a quiet and relaxing break and that's exactly what we got! Mornings on the deck with coffee while watching and listening to the many birds were great starts to the days. The house was clean and set up nicely. The updates you have done so far were very nice and we look forward to staying again sometime.

4/5 We had a GREAT time staying at this cottage for a 4nt trip. The best part was definitely the kayaks!!! We puddled around the flowage/channels, as well as out on to the main part of Tubbs Lake and Lower Evans Lake. Mecosta is known as the "Everglades of MI" and we saw so much wildlife- turtles, herons, swans, loons, kingfishers and more!!! LOVED it! We even fished from the kayaks and had amazing luck with bluegills, sunfish and crappies not far from the cottage. Beautiful sunsets from the pier and kayaks for the last evening floats. Relaxing and unplugging at it's best...The patio/grill area was used each night (and morning for coffee!), as was the fire pit. Yeah for smores!! The kitchen is pretty well stocked with cooking/prepping necessities, spices, Keurig pods, and containers- we did not eat out while here, so can't attest to area bar and grills or otherwise. We did visit Fate's grocery in Remus- it was full service and reasonable.The surrounding neighbors were quiet while we were here (midweek), and the 8 wandering cats entertained our girls, but our dog was not as happy... He doesn't like cats, and it was not easy to let him outside without one or 2 wandering around somewhere. A few were VERY friendly, most were skittish. Lastly, Stacey was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Bonus- the beds were very comfortable too!

Amazing views & lots of wildlife
5/5 We had a great time considering it rained most of the time. We enjoyed the amazing view of the lake and lots of wildlife! There were numerous geese the first day in the morning and then again in the afternoon/evening. On the 2nd day the adult geese showed up with a whole flock of baby geese! There must have been about 25 babies! So cute. There were Sandhill cranes, red-headed woodpeckers, racoons and squirrels! Had a great time! Will be back!
Thanks!
