Summary: Wonderful home on beautiful Big Star. House was clean with everything you need for a fun family weekend away. We were able to put our boat in the water and leave it in for the weekend. The driveway and parking was able to accommodate boat trailer and multtiple vehicles.

Summary: We were all very impressed with the house, the property, and all of the amenities. Kitchen was stocked very well. The lake was excellent for kayaks. The fire pit was a big hit also. We had a fire every night and had plenty of wood. The outdoor shower was very useful too. The only thing I might add is another bathroom.

Summary: Clean and spacious home, with a beautiful view of the bayou. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding and appreciated the quietness. We took day trips to Mears, Pentwater, and Ludington, with Ludington being our favorite. The house includes a detailed folder of recommendations and attractions, a large enclosed garage, and a great collection of videos and books, as well as smart TV, internet, games, and even toys. The location is remote, so be ready to drive 45 min for a nice restaurant. An excellent value!

Summary: This cottage was perfect for our family of 7. A great play area for the kids. Beautiful home, cozy and spacious. We all enjoyed the water and fire pit. No swimming access so we drove to Ludington for a day of shopping and swimming at the state park. Well worth the hour drive. Definitely would stay here again!

Summary: We had an incredible stay at this beautiful cabin! It was cozy and welcoming, and the location was perfect for my entire family to fish, kayak and enjoy the lake view. Everything was clean and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property manager was incredibly helpful with answering any of our questions and when our wifi went out, she made sure that the rest of our stay went without a hitch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing lake getaway!
