InternetYes. Internet can be very spotty. Not ideal for streaming video or meetings. Everyone by now has likely been enjoying the beauty of wireless technology. But, sometimes getting a break from WiFi can be a blessing too. Between the texts and emails and notifications to your watch, there are moments of rest and opportunities to reset and connect with others in-real-life. We hope you do not get aggravated at the lack of WiFi while staying here, but that you enjoy the WiFiLess and relaxing lifestyle at this lakeside cottage. Watch a breath-taking sunset. Notice that it’s often prettier after the sunset as the sky turns red or orange on the silvery clouds. Maybe capture it with a photo. You might just need to post it after you get home. We have tried every Internet provider available in the area, including Starlink. And as much as we’ve tried, nothing comes close to what renters are generally accustomed to. Just like city water and sewer, wired internet just isn’t available in the area yet.

Linens: Yes, we provide your sheets and linens. Just like a hotel, the beds will be made for you upon arrival. We have just the basic sheets, pillows, pillowcases, and bath towels.



Parking: 2 cars

Pets: Are not allowed at this property unless a large group is renting all 4 cabins due to the shared beach space, proximity of yards and no fences

Privacy: This is a small cottage community with shared beachfront, each cottage has it's own deck, dock, row boat, and firepit


Seniors: Welcome! Everything is on one floor.



Televisions: 32" Roku TV with streaming

Towels: All bath and kitchen towels will be provided during your stay. Please bring beach towels with you!



Washer and Dryer: There is not a washer and dryer on site but Hometown Laundry of Clare is 7.3 miles away

Wood: Not provided. Please bring a bundle or two for the firepit

The most peaceful place to be to visit family. We absolutely love Sunset Shores. Only wish we knew about these cottages long ago. Thank you for yet another fantastic getaway

This was our 6th year at Stevenson Lake — we absolutely love coming here with our family. Our family rents the entire resort and many friends can come to visit from Bay City during our time. We brought our pontoon, which was great for tubing. We will definitely be returning for our 7th year! 

FVR RESPONSE:

Hi Sherry and Bill! As Sunset Shores return guests, we appreciate you taking the time to review your stay, and are so happy to know you got to have another great trip for your 7th year! We can't wait to host you again in the future!
