This cozy waterfront home/cottage is situated on Herendeene Lake, which is a no-wake lake. It's a beautiful and tranquil lake, perfect for fun and relaxation. The property has two bedrooms and one bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a queen bed and a bunk bed with a twin underneath, while the other bedroom has a full-sized bed. The bathroom features a shower/tub combination.

The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals and snacks. Although there is no dishwasher, there is a washer and dryer available. The house is fitted with fans and enjoys a nice breeze. Additionally, there is a screened ridge vent that remains open to let the heat escape. Closing the curtains during the warmest part of the day keeps the home comfortable since there is no air conditioning. There are areas in the house that you need to step up or step down.

A Well-behaved dog is welcome with an additional nonrefundable cleaning fee. However, humans are expected to clean up after their pets.

The property also includes a gas grill for barbecues, a picnic table for outdoor dining, and a fire pit for cozy evenings. A row boat and a canoe are provided for lake adventures. The lakefront has a soft sandy bottom for swimming. Younger guests will enjoy the play set in the yard.

Review by
Great location and very well equipped. Note, you are in the woods so there may be bugs. There is also some road noise since it is right off of a county highway. Very close to wineries and Sleeping Bear. Would rent again.
5 out of 5 stars
Manager Response:
Thank you for reviewing this property. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the location and would stay again!
