We also have a dock to tie up your boat. In summer go on the biking/hiking trail near by or ride your bike or 4-wheeler around the lake. Watch the beautiful Michigan sunsets from a cozy blaze in the fireplace or at the fire pit by the water's edge. It's vacation time!

Lovely log home with a view

We spent an amazing weekend in this historical log cabin with beautiful lake views from inside as well as from the deck. It was clean and well stocked with a modern kitchen and bath. We really enjoyed the roomy, rustic living area. It provided a perfect place to enjoy a September weekend of fall colors and unexpected warm temps. We look forward to a return visit.

Great stay

the cottage is very nice. We always bring items we need at other rentals. We found we did not need to. You will not find better location and access to all your needs while staying on Eight Point Lake. This by far was our best location, cottage, and great hosts. We highly recommend renting this cottage.

Lovely Vacation Spot

The cottage and the property were very nice. There was plenty of room and it met all of our expectations. The bed in the downstairs bedroom was very comfy and I slept well the whole time. The only thing I would mention as far as improvements would be adding a banister to the stairs going to the second floor.

Lovely property

The property was lovely, but unfortunately we had to leave as the lake was treated with chemicals and we couldn’t swim the days we were scheduled to be there. This out a bit of a damper on our vacation.

Relaxing stay

We brought our boat but didn't end up putting it in because the lake level was way down (the water was about ankle deep at the end of the dock). The property owners were diligent about offering solutions that would have allowed us to tie it off offshore, but we chose not to do so. Not putting the boat into the water turned out to be a good thing. We got the chance to just relax in the comfortable outdoor chairs sitting along the shoreline and a couple times by the fire (thanks for providing firewood (nice bonus)). We visited many of the local dives (I mean that in a good way) in some of the small towns nearby. Had some incredible meals and maybe one or two average ones! Having been to nearby areas before, we knew what to expect which is what really makes this part of Michigan so relaxing. The kitchen is modern and well stocked. There's even a Keurig now! A basting brush was about the only item we found missing for our needs (BBQ sauce (mmm)), The house is well appointed, but most the sofas and chairs were well past the sell-by date for comfort level (the padding is well worn out). However, as frequent renter I can say that this does seem to be almost always the case for furniture. Get out of the house, right? Good idea. A gas grill is provided. The hosts are next door and are super friendly, helpful and respectful of your privacy. It was a really relaxing experience.
