Wedding get away
We stayed here for my brother's wedding. It turned out my dad was actively dying, so we came to MI sooner than planned. Maurice was very communicative, compassionate, and kind enough to work it out so we could stay there earlier than we had booked. This place, which Maurice calls a “cottage” is beautiful. I say it’s not a cottage! You can tell it is loved, it has many cute details and is complete with this wonderous deck. It is a peaceful, serene getaway, yet close to many amenities and the highway. I bet in the summertime it is amazing. It was too cold to use the paddleboat, SUP and canoe but how nice they are available for guests. Book this place! You won’t regret it!

Fabulously Serene
Maurice was wonderful from the minute he reached out to share check in procedures and to welcome us. When we arrived, check-in was seemless, fresh linens were on the beds and we were greeted with the most clean we have seen or smelled in our guest stays. The beds were comfortable, the view spectacular and the sundries we may have forgotten. This location is a great oasis right on the lake and we don't hesitate to recommend! Thank you Maurice and family!

Quiet Holiday at the Lake House
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Maurice the host, made it special with Christmas lights and even a tiny decorated tree! This location worked well for us as we were visiting family in the area. We hope to book again if the opportunity arises! 😁

This little cottage is very cute, cozy and clean! We enjoyed the gas fireplace and the view was beautiful. It was perfect for the two nights that we stayed. The owner was very communicative and easy to work with. I would recommend upgrading to keyless entry.

Quick Getaway
The views from this place are amazing. Very quaint, with everything you need. Working gas fireplace was a nice addition on the cooler nights. Woke up to swans at the end of the dock which my daughter absolutely loved. Host was very helpful when we left something behind, even mailed it home to us. Thank you. 5 stars.

Extended stay to visit family and friends. Perfect!
Quiet stay on the lake. Truly tranquil, peaceful cottage with perfect accommodations. If you’re looking for luxury accommodations, this is not your cottage. We were so happy here for our 6 week stay. Coffee in the morning watching the swans with bonfires in the evening. What’s not to love. Very close to shopping, walking trails and excellent downtown restaurants. The Cozy Inn Bar is within walking distance. You’ll love it!

Paquette's Cottage Review July 2023
View from deck was amazing. Lake was very quiet even on the 4th of July. Caught a lot of Blue Gills and some Black bass from the shore in front of the cottage and also from the paddle boat in front of the cottage in about 10' of water. Very warm weather, A/C unit hardly kept up.

Relaxing getaway
We had a wonderful experience with this property. We found the cottage to be clean, cozy, and charming. The setting was unbelievable. We enjoyed watching the sun rise over the lake as we sat and ate our breakfast. We also enjoyed catching a lot of fish and using the provided pedal boat to get out on the lake. We enjoyed hiking at the adjacent Island Lake Recreational Area that can be accessed by simply walking to the end of the street. The host was very helpful and cordial and even rescued me when I locked myself out of the cottage! We highly recommend this property for your next home away from home!

Great Little Cottage on the Water
Loved this place. Super clean, super cozy. We slept better here than in our own beds. Weather was not great, but what do you expect in April.??? Was close to our son’s school and got to watch lots of college baseball, so it was perfect. Summers must be amazing! Would love to come back when the weather is better!

Spring trip with sister
My sister and I take a spring trip every year to shake off the winter blues! This was our first time staying at the lake house! Beautiful view sitting on the deck! Also beautiful sunrises!! The house clean and comfortable. The only downside was the road leading up to the house is narrow and we like to take walks. Other than that we had a relaxing time!
