Cute cottage!
The property was spacious and inviting! The lake was beautiful! Our extended family enjoyed the stay while we celebrated my niece's graduation! We had an issue with the internet that required a Spectrum guy to come in during our stay and there was an issue with large flying ants. The owners were great about communication though and the overall stay was good enough that we'd definitely come back!

Cute little getaway
We stayed here over the July 4th holiday for a few days. Cottage was cute, roomy with gorgeous views. It’s a bit dated and could use some updating. The lake is calm, shallow and great for kids to swim and fish! Never been to Lake City before so it was our first time. The town itself is very small with not a lot offer. We did venture to Cadillac which had a cute downtown, local shopping and more diversity. All in all we had a good time away.

Family vacation
The hosts were wonderful to work with from the very beginning when we booked. Margaret met us upon arrival, shared information and answered any questions we had. She responded quickly to any questions/issues that came about during our stay.
We had a wonderful time at the lake. Our party ranged in age from 70s- age 3. My MIL enjoyed being able to watch the kids play in the water from the beautiful lake view window and the 2nd deck. The family enjoyed the firepit, the kayaks and the paddle boat. However, my son said it is easier to guide going backwards.Lol
We rented the pontoon and enjoyed just cruising around the lake. We also docked at the Lake City Village community dock by the little park and would go grab ice cream at Tasty Treat or a bite to eat in town. I would suggest making sure the pontoon has ropes and bumpers attached before trying to dock somewhere other than the house dock. Some of our group also enjoyed finding different spots in the lake, anchoring and fishing. They also did some fishing right off the dock and had success.
The water was shallow enough for the littles to swim. The lake bottom wasn’t as sandy as we would have liked, but it was ok. There were certain spots that felt more mushy.
Overall, we had a great time and were sad vacation was over.

Our host Margaret was awesome, showed up to greet us upon check in. The cottage had plenty of room for sleeping, several spaces outdoors to enjoy. The lake is beautiful, sandy & clean. We loved listening to the loons. We tubed, waterskied, surfed & fished. We also went to a few restaurants by boat that we were able to have dinner & watch the sunset. Would definitely recommend & will be back again!!!

The house was clean and a perfect fit for our family of 14. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. There was plenty of storage for the food and necessities we brought. There was plenty of seating outside for the whole family. We spent the mornings fishing, the afternoons swimming in the lake, and the evenings making smores around the fire pit. The water was shallow to the end of the dock and perfect for the kids to swim without worry. It was a great week!

Great Weekend Getaway
The home was perfect for 2 families with little kids. We had a great weekend! The water near the dock/shore is perfect for young children as it is sandy and shallow. We rented the pontoon boat and were able to go for a fun ride as well. Highly recommend!

What can I say. This lake house was beyond anything our group could have asked for. The house was spacious, entertainment area was incredible and the views were certainly memorable! Margaret was an excellent host and was a delight to communicate with. Highly recommend the pontoon boat for sunset rides and sandbar hangs.

Relaxing Vacation
This was our first visit to Lake City and we enjoyed our stay very much. The home was very clean and perfect amount of space for our family of 8 (it was supposed to be more but we had some cancellations). We enjoyed meeting the homeowner, Margaret, very much and she surprised us with a homemade treat the night before we checked out. Two things that just need to be mentioned...the driveway is very steep and there are many steps down to the water. This didn't impede our visit but may others. We rented the pontoon boat and while it wasn't good for tubing it was perfect for lake cruising and sitting at the sand bar enjoying the water and some music. Thank you for sharing your home Margaret!

Wonderful Lake House Family Vacation !
It’s hard to describe what staying at this lovely lake house meant to our family. There were 11 of us and we felt comfortable and it was spacious enough to spread out or be together. The house had all the amenities we needed. The view was unparalleled. While it didn’t have a beach, the sandy bottom and shallow clear area by the dock was perfect for our family. We loved the use of the kayaks and the paddle boat. And, especially loved having the pontoon boat to fish, take lake cruises and ride over to Lake City for dinner and ice cream!
Margaret was the perfect host and had everything ready for us. Really enjoyed talking with her. She was very responsive to any questions and even purchased a mini high chair for the grandbaby. So thoughtful. We highly recommend this Lake Missaukee property. Would love to come back!
