Summary: The Castaway Resort was exactly what I was looking for. Quiet, clean and cozy. My views of Croton Dam Pond were fabulous and I even got to see some Baltimore Orioles. I went for a week of solitude to spend time weaving on my little workshop loom. I had the peace and quiet I needed to concentrate. The Hosts, Bob and Joy were 100% available and accommodating, and my sweet dog Poppy was completely welcomed. I would definitely return. I'm thinking maybe in the fall when kids are back in school.

Summary: First time VRBO customer. Process for booking was easy, description of property was accurate. Communication with host was superb. Any issues we had were quickly taken care of. It was as you would expect a cabin to be: minimalistic. All flatware, cooking and BBQ utensils, pot, pan and baking sheet were provided. Pots are sized for cabins. If you intend to cook large group meals bring your own. Very close to water, kayaks & life vests available. Paddle boat available for use.

Summary: The cottage was stocked with the essentials: towels, pillows, blankets, etc., though the kitchen tools and appliances were in need of a deep cleaning. In fact, the whole cottage was in need of a deep cleaning. The beds were comfortable, and overall, we were happy with the accommodations. The outdoor common areas were the best parts of the whole stay. We had many nights by the fire, and spent the days in the lake, which was very easily accessible, but does get deep very quickly. The kayaks were not usable, as they had holes worn in the bottoms of them from being dragged in and out of the lake. There was also a wasp problem on the awning that hangs over the front of cottages 1 and 2. We hiked a nearby trail one day, checked out the dam, and got some great ice cream at the Croton Bay Trading Post. Got firewood from the campground down the road. The locals were very friendly. Had a very nice lunch at The River Stop Cafe and good coffee and pastries at Timbertown Coffee in Newaygo. We had one short interaction with the hosts, who were pleasant and open to suggestions about the property. Check in and check out was a breeze.

Summary: Nice view of the pond. Cabin felt dirty. The bathroom stunk like rust and the toilet seat was broken. The cabin had a musty smell and the walls and cabinets need cleaned. Boat near the dock seemed to be leaking fuel or oil because the water was oily and smelled of fuel. Area was what we expected. Everyone we encountered was friendly. We didn’t expect amazing due to cost but it definitely needs some updating.

Summary: It was very beautiful property, and one of the cutest little Cottages I've seen. The manager was a nice man and his wife was just as nice. The only problem was a window blind that was missing. A very pleasant stay will always remember it with fondness. We'll have to plan another vacation here again.
