Another great visit to Town Lake
We had another great visit to Town Lake! We love coming back here every summer. It is a perfect location to swim and kayak. The dog loves it up here too. She loves to swim and chase her toys when we throw them in the lake and she swims out to get them. It is so relaxing and we will be sure to come back for our sixth year.

Great cabin
Just spent 6 days with our 9 year old, who is an outdoor enthusiast. The lake was the perfect size that she was able to take the kayak out by himself to explore, fish, catch turtles, and enjoy the freedom. The residence was clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend and revisit again.

Outstanding lake stay
We so enjoyed Town Lake. It is so clear and a no wake lake. Small and swimming is the best. The house met our needs as we did a lot of activities by the big lake- Superior.

Cute
This was a cute and comfy cabin. Very nice for the price, we’ve stayed in cabins 1/4th this size for 3 times the price on Lake Superior. There are a lot of reviews saying it could use better cleaning, however the spiders get very busy the day after you take their webs down. I had a spider web the next morning after I woke on my bag going to the wall. So it could be the cleaners are cleaning and those little spiders get to work asap to make new webs. We did however not use the shower between the two bedrooms because it looks like it’s coming apart and we didn’t want moisture getting into the walls, that should probably be checked.
FVR RESPONSE:
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay Jennifer! We also appreciate your understanding for how quickly the spiders can get to work, in regards to the homes cleanliness, but do appreciate you mentioning the shower walls. I updated our maintenance team so we can look into that more and get working! As a whole, we are so delighted to know you enjoyed your stay, and hope we can host you again in the future!

Great cabin and waterfront views
Great cabin for a fall hunting trip. The views are awesome and the cabin was clean and in excellent shape. The cabin had everything we needed and was dog friendly. The driving directions are hard to follow and could be updated and “Turtle Cove” signs put out as it was difficult to find at night. All-in-all a great cabin, an excellent experience, and good times were had by all!
FVR RESPONSE:
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Turtle Cove! We appreciate the suggestions for how we could improve directions and signage getting to the house, and will look for ways to make those more clear. It truly is great to know that you found the cottage comfortable, clean and able to provide you with a great stay! Hopefully we can host you again!

It was so nice to be back at Turtle Cove on Town Lake after lasts years absence. The new flooring was a nice surprise and really gave the place a fresh new look. We had a great time using the lake and we even got to know the neighbors who were very friendly. It was a wonderful two weeks and we were all sad to leave when our time was up. Thanks for a great lake house and great service and amenities.
FVR RESPONSE:
Hi Thomas, thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! Also, thank you for noticing the extra work put into the new flooring! We love knowing that you had another great stay, and were able to get to know the neighbors a bit! We look forward to having you back!

Turtle Cove
Had a great week with lots of fishing and hiking on the 9mi bike trail right down the road from the cabin! The cabin is just what I like, nice and simple with some requirements for me, pet friendly with a boat, and some niceties like washer and dryer. Having Forest Glen General Store so close is very convenient for electric motor rental and bait. The only reason it was not a five star is because the direct tv was replaced, without notice to you folks, by RUKO. Premium channels, like Netflix, require a pin, which was not provided, so on bad weather days you are kind of stuck with limited viewing. The other issue is the boat still leaks. Not a lot, but you need to do some bailing after every trip around the lake.
FVR RESPONSE
Jess, hiking and fishing makes for a great summer vacation. We're glad that you had a great week. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to work with you again.

This was a very comfortable home on a peaceful lake. The house offered all of the “extras” of being at home. The kayaks, row boat and fire pit added so much outdoor entertainment. The house truly provides everything we needed ( and forgot to bring!) The water in the house tasted so fresh and clean. It was a perfect getaway in the UP- but close enough to Munising to enjoy the Pictured Rock Boat cruise, local mini golf and ice cream. The local general store had the fishing supplies and snacks we needed as well! We will definitely book again!
FVR RESPONSE
Jane, we hope that you caught lots of fish! It sounds like you took advantage of all the amenities to the fullest, which is great. We look forward to your return.

Me and my group loved this place. The lake view was definitely my favorite! The house had all we needed for cooking and it was helpful. One of the highlight from the trip was that we took a paddle boat and explore the lake and kids loved it! Outside was so dark at night and we saw so many stars When we looked up sky. We WILL come back here again!!

Clean, peaceful and well laid out.
The house was clean, simple and had a great floor plan. Thankfully they had WiFi since the phone service can be a but spotty up there. The house was only steps from the beautiful lake (and the lake only had a few houses on it). It was nice and peaceful and, while there were neighbors on one side, we never saw them. The only negatives: the carpets were stained (I always fear that I'll be blamed for the stains so I get a little anxious about that) and they could stand to get some newer towels. One that I used was tattered and torn (even though it was nicely rolled, like how a hotel would do it). They do have a blow dryer, which I'm not sure the ad mentioned. Overall, a great place to stay!

Beautiful view, peaceful & clean.
While I am giving this rental 5 stars, I would have preferred to give 4.5. This cabin-type of rental was very clean (smelled clean) but the carpets were worn and stained. Everything else was very tidy and clean. The views in the house were amazing and the floor plan was nice and open (good use of space). It overlooks a peaceful little lake and provides front (back?) door access to the lake (just steps away from the little deck). There is one close neighbor but we never saw anyone at the house so it was very private at this rental. There were nice little touches like wifi & cable, which is a necessity in this area if you need to get ahold of anyone for any reason. That said, the owners / mgt could maybe spend a few dollars on some new towels. They were rolled nicely, like a hotel, but one of the towels I used was severely tattered and torn which was a bummer (not the end of the world but a little annoying). Also, I'm not sure if the booking description had mentioned this but there was a hair dryer at this rental which was very nice to have. Not all rentals have them. Overall we loved this place and would highly recommend it to those looking to get away from it all!

A great week on Town Lake
We had a wonderful and relaxing week. We went swimming everyday and the kayaks were a very nice bonus for a beautiful, clear, northern Michigan lake. The house was very nice and well apportioned. It was a week we'll be thinking about until we go there again. Hopefully that will be next year!

Freshwater Vacation Rentals: Turtle Cove, Wetmore Michigan
Freshwater Vacation Rentals is a customer oriented and extremely professional company. They have Beautiful properties that are well maintained and their customer service is the best in the industry. The Turtle Cove vacation rental in Wetmore Michigan sits beautifully on Town Lake about 15 minutes from downtown Munising. The house is very clean and well maintained. Most homes that sit on the water tend to get a musty smell but Turtle Cove had absolutely no issues with that "on the water smell" that plagues most vacation rentals. The rental has all the amenities of home, i.e... wifi, satellite television, washer/dryer...etc and plenty of space to accommodate a large family. There are 2 kayaks and a paddle boat accessible to the renter and enough wild life running around the property to keep the kids entertained. ( frogs, turtles, ducks and many others). It is relatively quite and peaceful but the frogs do get pretty conversational with eachother.. ha ha. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great Upper Peninsula get away.

Charles, thanks for this great review, and for your kind words for FVR. Great customer service is our #1 priority.

The place is right next to the lake and the living space is much bigger than the pictures. We loved our stay in the cabin and kayaking in the lake. Freshwater was very prompt in communication and kept firewood for bonfire ready for us as requested. Everything was great. Thank you :)

Srishti, we are so glad that you liked staying at Turtle Cove. Town Lake is a lovely lake - good for both swimming and fishing. Plus, it's a very peaceful lake. We look forward to working with you again.

Our stay was more than we could have asked for. They had everything we needed and the house was even larger and more equipped than we expected! It was a perfect location for our weekend trip to pictured rocks

Rachael, we are so happy that you chose Turtle Cove for your vacation, and that it was everything you were hoping for. Aren't Pictured Rocks incredible? We're hoping that you use Freshwater Vacation Rentals again.

The Cabin was great!!! The living space was larger than expected. Pictures did not do this place justice! Quiet lake. Everything we needed. Great location. We will definitely be back again.

Peaceful cabin on the lake! Secluded location with the most beautiful view
If you are looking for a fancy cabin, this isn't for you! However, if you want a family friendly location, you have found the spot. Plenty of room inside so the kids don't drive you crazy. Kayaks to enjoy the lake. If it rains there is satellite and wifi, but it's okay to pretend the wifi is broken. This was our first trip to the area, and we are already planning the next visit. Thank you for sharing this home with us!
FRESHWATER RESPONSE:
We are so happy that you had a great vacation at Turtle Cove. It is the perfect place to go to unwind. We'd love to have you back again!

lovely home with every amenity
great fishing, owners left tea and coffee for us in a big kitchen. back in the forest in a quiet and secluded spot but close to a little store where i could get tackle and the few groceries we didn't bring.
FRESHWATER RESPONSE:
We are so thrilled you enjoyed your stay! Yes, the little store close-by is extremely convenient. We hope you consider booking with Freshwater in the future for your next Michigan adventure. We have 54 other properties to choose from as well.

Family Fun
We had a wonderful time at Turtle Cove. We spent our days hiking and kayaking Pictured Rocks and a couple days fishing Town Lake. The house was very nice for our family. We were concerned with the light switch in the small bathroom, there seems to be a bad connection. Also housekeeping could be better but everyone has different standards. Overall it was a wonderful week.
FRESHWATER RESPONSE:
Thank you for your feedback, and rest assured it is noted. I will let our Director of Cleaners know and have put in a maintenance request for the light. Thank you, again. We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay! It is a great jumping point to a variety of attractions in the area. Please consider checking out our 54 other properties next time you book your Michigan adventure!

Spacious, clean, comfortable property on a quiet lake. Quick responses to all inquiries, we felt at home the whole time we were there. Date of stay: May 2015
