- "My large family stayed at this beautiful home and had a wonderful time! The weather was very hot so it made us appreciate the water and the outside space even more. The neighbors on the end of the cove were not there during the week of our stay, so it felt very private as we tied our rafts to the dock just to float in cove area. There were a few minor things we noticed (screens on the doors were slightly torn and housecleaning could have been better as we found cobwebs in some of the rooms and crumbs around/in furniture) but I brought to Renee's attention--she responded in a timely manner and I'm sure those things will be addressed. Renee made the whole process easy and was quick to respond to questions. We enjoyed evening bonfires, but the yard does have quite a slope, so it was not the easiest for my elderly parents to come down to that area. We spent a day tubing down the Rifle River and another day went into West Branch to the outlet mall. This home allowed us to all gather together and have such a nice family vacation. I would definitely recommend."

Enjoy this peaceful cottage with a park like setting on the Rifle River. Take in beautiful views of the river and wildlife.
We have several kayaks that guests can use to enjoy a relaxing trip down the river or one of the several lakes nearby.
There are two fire pits, a larger one by the river and one next to the house with firewood provided for your use.
The house is beautiful furnished, with a fully equipped kitchen. There are two comfortable queen beds and twin bunk bends with plenty of room for all to enjoy.
- "My family of 6 adults had a wonderful time. The river was gorgeous and refreshing. The couch is SO comfortable. Had some great bonfires. we would definitely return. The hill down to the river is a little steep. My grandma had a little difficulty navigating it, but not impossible!" - "My family and I enjoyed our stay in August. The weather was pouring rain when we arrived and when we left, which made the roads less enjoyable to drive down and I was really glad we were in a truck. Also, I do agree with other reviews that mention that the surrounding neighborhood is a little sketchy but once you get to the house it's much nicer. Even though we didn't have much time outside the view from the kitchen table is beautiful. The house was very clean and the air conditioning worked perfectly on the hot August days. The beds and furniture are very comfortable and my husband loved the rocking chairs on the porch. The owner was very quick to respond when I messaged her about an issue (we blew a fuse, oops!). The only thing that would make this property better would be an easier access to the water. It was a little tricky climbing up the bank with wet feet. Overall we loved our stay and I would book again."

Michigan really knows how to enjoy its rivers, and with our riverfront home on the Rifle River, so can you! With hot summers, Kayaking, Tubing, and Canoeing abounda home on the water is a must—and there’s plenty of land-based fun to be had, too. With an abundance of state land for huntingand excellent fishing just steps from your door, there are plenty of reasons to stay in all seasons. With room to bring all your family and friends, renting thishome really will make a stay to remember.
- "Great location!" - "The home is as described, very spacious and we had plenty of room with 10 adults for New Years Eve 2022. The open floor plan on the main level allowed for multiple activities to take place and everyone to mingle comfortably. The woodburning stove provided additional warmth and ambiance on the main level. Surely would be a fun summer excursion with the easy river access just out the back doors! Overall a pleasant UpNorth MI getaway for a short drive."

This cozy Lake View Cabin is right off the lake and gives you an amazing view of Arrowhead Lake.
This dry cabin offers a Queen size bed, mini fridge, and a microwave. The small porch is a great hang out spot to relax and to enjoy the view of the lake.
- "You might want to do more research before you book here. FYI this cabin does not have a bathroom. It is situated on an old Boy Scout Camp, and the bathroom facility is in the main lodge of the camp. There is a cabin within just a couple feet of this one, so there isn’t any privacy. The manager was kind, and since our stay did not match the description of the property, he did work with us to make it right."

Welcome to BLISSFUL LAKE COTTAGE in Hale, Michigan. ***Contat us for availability if interested.. Please read the whole description to know if this is the right place for you before you book. Make sure everyone in your party is serious about renting the cottage before inquiring, so we can continue to offer great customer service to people who are actually renting the property.

If you're looking for a vacation rental this summer we have the place for you. We have a lot of great weeks left available. We have an 1100 square foot cottage on a lake in Hale, Michigan, 2.5 hours away from the Detroit Metro area. It is a 2 bedroom with a loft that has 2 full size beds, 1 bathroom. We are 5 minutes away from the very small town of Hale, Michigan. It is country living and not near big cities. Hale has a lot to do in the summer from boating, fishing, swimming, 4-wheeling, sightseeing, canoeing etc. Or, you can just stay at the cottage the whole time. If you have a ski boat, bring it and you can park it at our dock and be feet away from using it whenever. We also have Bluegill, Bass, tons of Northern Pike and Perch for fishing. There is also a loon family that shows up every year that you can listen to while enjoying a fire at night. If you're lucky, you might also get to see the resident eagles that live in the area. We have a kayak, canoe, paddleboat and SUP board for your entertainment. We also put a beach in for the kiddoes.
Dogs are allowed but they must be friendly and under 30 pounds. There is a $45 dollar fee for any dog. We will need a copy of there rabies shots.
***The place is not available for short stays for Mud Jam. If you want to rent the place for Mud Jam, please look elsewhere. ***
We provide a home for families to unplug from the real world and grow closer. Therefore we do not have wifi or cable TV. Most cell phone services do work at the cottage. If we do need the internet, we run to Victorian Cafe in Hale and use their service. If there is an important game on, we head to the Long Lake Bar for the game. There is a TV hooked up to a DVD with tons of DVDs and VCR tapes when the weather is bad. We also have board games available for all ages.
Please note that we do not have room for a washer or dryer, so we can not offer linen. You will need to bring your own linens. We wish we could supply it.
Things to remember:
Bed sheets, bath towels and kitchen towels (we do not have a washing machine or dryer)
Bath essential
beach towels
meals
fishing poles and gear

After booking, you will be required to sign a completed terms and agreement with Blissful Lake Cottages to use the cottages and the boats. We do this for insurance reasons and for our safety. Thank you for understanding. The Stewarts
- "I recently stayed at the Cozy Cottage in the Pines with my family, and we had a wonderful time. The cottage is located in a quiet corner of the lake, just a short drive to the local grocer and the town center. The property is surrounded by trees, and there is a beautiful lake view of from the entire property. The cottage is updated and well-maintained and spacious, with plenty of room for our family of four. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the bedrooms are all comfortable. We loved spending time outdoors at the cottage. There is a large deck with a table and chairs, and there is also a fire pit in the yard. Overall, we had a wonderful time at the lakehouse. The property is beautiful, the location is great, and the amenities are perfect for a family vacation. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway."
