| The cottage is large, spacious, up to date and clean. Looks pretty new overall. Everything you might need in the kitchen and otherwise seems to have been thought of and provided. All the amenities listed are there and accounted for. Additionally, aside from the beach and lake, which we took full advantage of, there are all kinds of games and activities for both children and adults to keep busy with. There were 6 adults and 3 kids, aging from 3 to 8 years, in our party and everybody had a great time. It would seem that the owner put a lot of thought into creating an environment for families to enjoy, and went to a some trouble to see that the cottage had everything needed. Mike, the owner was pleasant to deal with, and helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. What you see is what you get, and more. I definitely recommend Mike's Lakehouse Retreat and am sure you would like it as much as we did.

| We stayed here for a week, a big reason we chose this place was Mike was friendly and easy to communicate with. The house, dock, lake, and amenities ticked all the boxes we were looking for and it was even better in real life than in the pictures. The house is almost new, clean, and well designed.

| Our family stayed here over the March Break and loved every minute here! The cottage is exactly as it appears in the photos - very luxurious, spacious and very well appointed. Everything worked flawlessly in the cottage. The kids loved all the space (and multiple bunk beds!) and enjoyed stargazing with the telescope. The kids also loved all the deer around each morning and early evening. We didn't get to enjoy the beach, but did enjoy walking on the frozen lake.
Micheal as a host was quick to respond to all of our questions. We can't wait to come back in the summer time to enjoy the beach. Thanks again
Matt
