Couldn’t have asked for a better cottage for the two of us and our dog! The main house felt bigger than it looked from the outside courtesy of the smart layout. Loved the thoughtfully placed nooks for relaxing or reading. So pleased with the giant tv with streaming services, WiFi internet, puzzles and games. Kitchen and dining area were huge, clean and well supplied with pots, pans, other tools. The main bedroom was so comfortable that we wished we could have taken the mattress with us. Can’t beat watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee and a small fire in the outdoor fire pit. Highly recommend this place for guests looking for a clean, tastefully decorated, but unfussy place to unwind, take in the scenery or visit the lighthouses, trails and nearby towns of Roger’s City and Alpena. Already trying to plan a return trip! Thanks for a lovely week!

FVR RESPONSE: 

Thank you so much for this amazing and thoughtful review of Grand Lake Cottage, Sarah! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that the cottage was a perfect fit for you, your partner, and your pup. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the layout, cozy nooks, well-equipped kitchen, and all the little touches meant to make the space feel like home. We especially love that you got to enjoy peaceful mornings by the fire with a sunrise view—that’s what it’s all about! We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be honored to welcome you back anytime. Looking forward to your next visit! -Jessica FVR

Beautiful, peaceful place. The house was nice and clean. The beds were comfortable. The 2 little cabins were cute and had fans and 1 even had an air conditioner and refrigerator in the small one by the driveway. The 2 chairs on the deck are super comfortable and made it easy to just sit and enjoy the view of the lake. There was an issue with the internet from a storm when we first arrived but they were already in the process of fixing it. The guy (Jared, I think) that was fixing it was very friendly and helpful and did a great job. There was a lack of bathroom towels but luckily a couple brought their own so it worked out fine. The neighbors are close but that’s normal for being on a lake and they weren’t really visible as there are trees and a little privacy in between the property. Overall it was a great place to stay and I would definitely stay again if we’re in the area.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review of Grand Lake, Hosha! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting, comfortable beds, and the little touches like the cozy deck chairs and cabin amenities. We’re also glad we were able to get the internet issue resolved quickly for you! We appreciate your feedback, particularly on the towels and will make sure to improve on that for future guests. It's great to know the layout and natural privacy worked well for your group, and we’d be honored to welcome you back next time you’re in the area! -Jessica FVR
