We rented the cabin for a 3 day stay when we went to Michigan Adventure. The home is exactly how it is listed. Perfect for our family. The lake is beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Great place to stay in a great location. Beautiful lake and property. Definitely worth the price for the amount of space and beds. Host is helpful and has very clear instructions. I would definitely come back!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Cove Cottage. Curtis and Marilyn were wonderful hosts and very responsive to any questions we had. We had to bring our dog with us last minute so this pet friendly house was so wonderful. The property is gorgeous. Great house for families traveling together! Downtown Newaygo is less than 10 mins away. So much to do in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thanks again!

This was our 2nd time staying here. We still loved it as much as we did the first time. Mother Nature caused an issue during our stay and we needed to reach out to the homeowner. He was so nice, understanding and helpful. Such a sweet family. Thank you all so much.

We really enjoyed our weekend with family. We used the paddle boat and kayak. We watched sunset, had a bbq cookout. The place has everything that you can think of. Easy going, flexible and honest host. We left air pods and he shipped them to us. Highly recommend this place.

Our family had an amazing week. It was hard to leave that's for sure. Emerald Lake's waters are so clear and was a perfect temperature. Emerald Lake is about 2.2 miles from the cottage all the way around back to the cottage. Sylan was 2.5 miles. Great distance for a morning stroll. We were so appreciative of the use of the canoe, row and paddle boats. Highly recommend staying here.

House was perfect for our family of eight. Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen amenities and lots of room for family! We loved using the private beach with canoe and paddle boat. Water is exceptionally clear but lake bottom is super squishy. Swimming out to raft is best bet. We bought life vests to make is easier. Spent many dinners out on front deck and by fire pit. Very quiet lake with great roads to hike around lake. So many birds to listen and bird watch. Downtown Newaygo is quaint with shops and wonderful grocery store. Curtis was extremely easy to communicate with. Truly loved our stay on Emerald Lake!!!!

What a cute “up north” cottage! It had all the amenities we needed and Curtis was great to work with. The yard is semi-private which was absolutely perfect. Downtown was a short drive away and had cute shops, restaurants, and a great grocery store. Bring water shoes because the entrance to the lake is quite mucky, but once you get out a bit it’s lovely! Would definitely stay here again!
