- "Family friendly. Well thought out. Amenities were an added bonus." - "The cabin was so cute and cozy. Everything was updated and very clean and organized. They provided everything we could need, kitchen was well equipped and there are even baskets of things you may have forgotten, and plenty of games. We especially enjoyed the coffee station and the game room. Our teens and 20-21 year olds all enjoyed the game room and we all fit on the big couch to watch movies. The view of the lake was beautiful. If we were staying for a week, we would want laundry machines, but the owners provided lots of towels, so we could probably make it work. Alsoit was convenient that we could park in the garage. The back yard, fire pit and new deck were very nice, though we didn't get to use them as it was too cold."

- "Great little place for my husband and I to stay a few nights. My only complaint was that the bathroom barn door would not stay shut on its own." - "We enjoyed our short stay in this cute little cottage. Despite being on a corner, the property is very private. The little sandy beach space is just enough to sit and soak up the sun. There are a couple kayaks available for use as well as a stand up paddle board. The property is just a quick drive from plenty of places to eat and drink in Kalamazoo. Our last morning there we sat outside to have our coffee and watch a family of swans on the beach. Such a relaxing weekend. We had an issue at check-in that Tom was quick to resolve for us. Great communication from the local property manager."

- "It was great! It suited our needs perfectly." - "We booked this unit for a long weekend when we were attending an event in the area. The unit was super clean and comfortable, with newer kitchen appliances. We appreciated the washer/dryer present within the unit, and there were plenty of bathroom linens. The millpond was charming, and often had geese and ducks on it. The unit was very quiet, and we heard no one next door or above us. I agree with the previous review regarding the overwhelming smell of marijuana in the stairwell. Since cannabis use is legal in MI however, I'm not sure what the unit owners can be expected to do about it unless there is a no smoking policy within the building. The smell does not creep into the unit unless you leave the door open, which we avoided. The absence of kitchen linens is interesting because it simply forced us to use more paper towels, which I would think the owners would try to avoid. But these were small things, and did not detract from our overall good experience. We would stay there again without hesitation!"

This home in one of a kind. It was originally built in 1915 as a very small ice house, but has had many additions added over the past few decades. If you are a fisherman, you will find that the catch is plentiful on Long Lake. The kids frequently enjoy catching bluegill right off the end of the dock, so be sure to bring your poles and worms! There is also a volleyball net, beersbie game, and large floating water mat available for water fun in addition to sand toys and rafts.

The pontoon is available for rent:
1 day - $250

- "The cottage was perfect fornour family during WMU Homecoming weekend. Cottage was clean, quiet, and roomy. Highly recommend staying there!" - "I recently stayed at Sam’s Lake House, AMAZING with breathtaking views of the lake. The large windows allowed me to fully enjoy the serene winter scenery, as snow fell. Sam was incredibly responsive and went out of her way to ensure my stay went smoothly, even arranging the cleaning crew to expedite their work.Thoughtful touches throughout the house, like the wide variety of games available—even 420 games, though it's important to note that smoking isn't allowed on the property. The check-out instructions were very clear, making the departure process stress-free. I appreciated the ample closet space in the bedroom. The dreamy clawfoot bathtub in the downstairs bathroom was a definite highlight!A few minor details: the upstairs bathroom tub is peeling, and while there’s a slip mat, I did have a slip (which was on me). Also, there is no dishwasher, so be prepared to wash dishes by hand. The refrigerator needs a good deep clean. That said, I never memtioned these to Sam as she was so accommodating these things could have been missed rushing to get me in. Parking was a little tricky with fast-moving cars, and Sam explained the garage wasn’t available due to storage. Things that could have made the stay better: aTV in the downstairs bedroom, warmer blankets, covered awnings for the patios, and a door to go out to the deck instead of the side. 8.9 out of 10!"

- "This worked out well for us.our daughter was starting med school in the area. It was very close to the medical school and the apartment we were helping our daughter move into. Had everything we needed and very clean and attractive.

- "Just a walk away from a convenience store, and minutes from downtown by car. This is a beautiful and clean home in the best location!" - "Nice and cozy getaway. " - "Unit needs a lot of work. Bathroom has old damaged cabinets, kitchen is partially newer but mainly original. Bathroom shower is incredibly tight and has a 2 foot high step in/out with no grab bar. Toilet area is even narrower than the shower. Had continual issues with all my devices staying connected to the WiFi. I finally gave up and used my data plan instead. TV is bolted down to the mantel I'm guessing so it can't fall off, but I wanted to connect my computer to it with a cable and couldn't. The fridge needs to be defrosted and it froze all My food ruining it. There is one remotely comfortable chair and the rest looks like office furniture. If more than 1 person is looking for a place to stay, this isn't it, it's too small especially if you have kids. Owner needs to add some floor lamps for an option of something other than bright LEDs overhead."

- "Property was clean, well equipped, and located close to campus. Served as gathering spot for friends/reunion attendees. Great experience" - "My wife and I stayed here last weekend. Perfect little place 3 minutes from Hadley Hall at WMU. Cute little place! Great use of space too... I'm in property investment and this little gem is genius!!!

- "Very clean and cozy" - "We enjoyed our stay here quite a bit! Having a full kitchen was very helpful and the distance to downtown was so convenient. Very thankful for a smart TV so we could relax with a movie after a long day. The bed was SUPER comfortable; my husband wants a thicker mattress topper on ours now because he slept so well. Non coin-operated laundry right next door was also extremely convenient. One thing to note: we would have liked to have a tissue box on the nightstand."

I typically do laundry on Friday or Saturday mornings when I clean but am flexible. Please communicate whether use of the laundry is permitted and leave your door open when access is allowed.

I clean the common area once per week. Typically on Friday or Saturday morning. If you would like me to clean your sheets, and / or lightly clean your room when I clean the house and do laundry, please let me know.

About your host: I'm a bartender and spend about 35 hours a week outside of the house. I also run a podcast and weight loss coaching business. I'm a world traveller and love food! Sundays are my jam and you'll find me in zen state!

You are welcome to pick fresh herbs and produce from my Gardyn!

Guest access
The only laundry in the house is accessible only via the private guest area. Your host has a strong preference to be allowed to use it -- especially for longer stays. I typically do laundry on Friday or Saturday mornings when I clean but am flexible. Please communicate whether use of the laundry is permitted and leave your door open when access is allowed.

Guests may use any space in the house except for my bedroom. My office may be used, but if I need it I have priority. My iMac has a guest setting that functions like the library where it erases all data after each use. The house has the strongest internet sold for the address -- just under fiber speeds.

There is ample parking. When choosing a spot, please leave access to the garage as I use it to charge my car.

During your stay
I am an introvert and tend to be fairly quiet, but am also warm to people and happy to accommodate your preferred level of interaction. If you like a home cooked meal, I'm your girl! :). I love all things food and travel!

Other things to note
I do not have frequent guests and overnight guests are very rare. My Dad, who is the other co-host, and some family who live locally swing by on occasion for brief visits. My Dad sometimes drops off his recycling and checks the mail. Overall house vibe is quiet and professional.
