Consistently awesome!
ALEXANDER S., Shelby Township, MI United States

Fall fishing trip

Very nice. Everything was perfect.
Peaceful Getaway
Recent Guest, Elmhurst, IL US
We really enjoyed our week. GPS is correct for this location. Plenty of parking. Very nice house, great condition and very clean. House is stocked well with supplies and kitchen necessities. Great having a washer and dryer. Very nice view of the bayou. Lots of wildlife viewing, especially Canadian Geese which love the lawn, so watch your step. Nice dock for your boat, but take caution on the bayou, it’s very a shallow. Once you get out to the main lake, it’s very nice and plenty of depth. If you like to golf, there is a very nice golf course about 5 minutes away, which they serve breakfast too. Communication with Nikki was great, very responsive and informative. You’ll be happy with your stay.
Fantastic Stay!
Gina W., Ironton, MN US
My friends and I decided to take a group trip. This cabin was perfect for us! It was extremely clean! The location is not far from town. The perfect mix of being in the woods but close enough to the quaint town of Baldwin. It was very nice to have three kayaks and a one-person canoe. The dock and bayou were very peaceful. They have all the cookware you will ever need. I would highly recommend it!
Peaceful Get Away!
Christine V., Oxford, MI US
My family had a great weekend away at The Red Door Cottage. Very peaceful property to relax, enjoy the views, and have a fun family weekend. We were very happy to be able to bring our two Frenchies as well. The house was very clean, spacious, and had several amenities like games, yard games, kayaks and canoes. Really enjoyed sitting on the upper deck to the house and loved how didn't have a stair case so dogs were contained as well. West Shore Vacation was wonderful to work with. Quick responses to any question. We spent days driving to Ludington to explore as not far away. Highly recommend and we look forward to renting again in the future.

Recent Guest, Goshen, IN United States
House was great. We brought a boat and it was great having a dock to enjoy the lake each day.
Great lakeside cottage
Thomas D., Columbia, TN US
The cottage was wonderful. Clean, comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed sitting by the fireplace on the chilly, rainy fall nights. Great yard and areas to enjoy being outside.. unfortunately the rain kept us from really being able to enjoy it.
Big Star Lake cabin
Recent Guest, Osceola, IA US
Secluded cabin, clean and quiet. Good accurate description of property. Good, inexpensive golf course, close to Pere Marquette river access.
Such a great house!
Ashley S., Savannah, GA US
The home was extremely well kept. Plenty of space for two families to come together. The property management company was excellent with communication. There are enough activities in the house without even including the lake. You can launch your boat nearby (1/4 mile) and dock it right out back! We had a phenomenal time! Neighbors are super friendly as well. The only thing I can suggest is making sure people know when booking that cell service is severely lacking so you may need an actual map or written directions to find the house. Wi-Fi worked great once we were there. No service wasn’t a problem for us but it could be for some. Overall amazing experience!!
A lovely private get away.
Recent Guest, HILLSBORO, MO US
The house was as described. It had everything you could possibly need for your stay. I highly recommend this one!
Great family lake house!
Erin G., Shepherd, MI United States
We stayed here with our two teenage boys and dog. It exceeded our expectations. The house was beautiful and had everything we could have needed. There was more than enough room for all of us. The boys loved fishing, boating, and kayaking. Our fur-baby felt welcome which isn't always how it feels when you have a pet. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice and offered towels, linens, soaps, streaming service and internet. The kitchen had everything you could need. The grill was a bit dirty, but not a big deal. We didn't mind being in the "bayou" part of the lake as some people. There is a party store/sub-pizza place right down the road. Overall, we had a great week
& enjoyed the rental very much.
Home and lake were perfect! Both very clean!
Danielle M., Clarkston, MI United States
Home in like we’re both a total gem!!
Beautiful, Relaxing Getaway!
Recent Guest, Watervliet, MI United States
The home was beautiful and immediately comfortable to be in. It provided a great space for family of all ages to have their space and hang out. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked with cooking and baking dishes. The grassy area by the water had some issues with goose droppings, which made it difficult to play down there. Yet it was wonderful to be able to dock the boats. The property management company was excellent at communications and answered all my questions. Will definitely recommend and consider staying at again!

Great Stay!
Jennifer S., Copemish, MI US
The house was cozy and inviting. We loved the views from the large windows and watching movies by the fireplace. I would recommend this house and it’s as beautiful as the pictures.
Very beautiful please.
