We were searching for a dog-friendly place to stay near Marshall, MI, and wow did we luck out! Such a clean and charming house; we were busy attending the "Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween" art show and visiting with local family so we didn't get to spend time on the water, but just gazing at the lake while sipping my morning coffee lowered my blood pressure. :) (Taking the paddleboat out would have been fun!) I loved seeing the Harvest Moon rise over the trees every night, and hearing the birds, crickets, and frogs. The area is very wooded and pastoral, with many breweries, restaurants, and other fun destinations in easy driving distance.
The owners provided so many thoughtful amenities, including bottled water, snacks, games, movies, and a binder chock-full of helpful information. We didn't use the kitchen to cook, but it was stocked with everything you might need to prepare a meal. Before we left we were fortunate enough to meet the owners, and they were kind and gracious; you can tell that each guest's comfort and relaxation is important to them. We were sad to leave!!
