We had a great week at Chief Lake Cottage. It was very clean and had everything we needed to make life easy :) We really appreciated all of the thoughtful touches, nightlights, nice towels, bathrooms stocked up with comfy towels, etc. lots of pillows and blankets. Very organized, everything labeled, including light switches. I just loved the fenced in yard. My little dog really enjoyed her freedom and it was extra relaxing for me not having to worry about her. My kids stayed so busy catching fish from the dock, swimming from shore, and playing basketball- it was perfect. We also played some pool and cornhole, very fun. Loved the area! Manistee is just a few min away. We went on a charter fishing trip out of manistee. We also found a few local restaurants near by and some Amish craft and country stores were great shopping a few min away. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us!
Another great stay at Chief Lake!

This was our second trip to the Chief Lake House and once again we had just a wonderful time. The house is full of fun things to do (epic pool table competitions!) and the lake itself was beautiful and warm.

Jennifer C. from Los Altos, CA United States recommends this vacation rental.
We loved Labor Day weekend at the lake house. Two families with lots of kids had a fun time swimming and relaxing. We loved shopping for dairy products at the charming Cream Cup Dairy nearby and we floated down the Manistee on canoes. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if we had access to kayaks at the lake for more boating fun. Thank you to the wonderful hostess Amy who helps make sure the welcome mat is ready!
Great Location, especially if you have dogs

A guest from Clarkston, MI United States recommends this vacation rental.
Great place if you have dogs as the yard is fully fenced in and the owner is very friendly and welcoming to pets. It's not the most luxurious and comfortable place but is in a great location close to Lake Michigan and a few good bars/restaurants. There is also a lot of space, this place could comfortably host 8-10 guests, perhaps more. The owner is very easy to reach if there are any issues or questions during the stay. We stayed for a week and enjoyed it.

Amy and Jim were fantastic hosts. They were there to check us in on arrival and show us the place and checkout was a breeze. The property has a fully fenced in yard which makes it a must for people with dogs. The house had everything needed for a week long stay. Fishing off the dock and the pool table were highlights. All of the local locations we were interested in were close enough for short day trips. But the location was secluded enough for some privacy. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Excellent vacation

A guest from Rochester Hills, MI United States recommends this vacation rental.
Had a very enjoyable week here. The house is very well stocked. The view of the lake is first class and it wasn't very busy while we were there.
If you have dogs then this place is perfect. The fenced in property was very much appreciated. It was so nice to spend time outside with the dogs and not worry about them.
The upstairs kitchen is quite small but functional. It's very nice to have the use of the second kitchen downstairs.
There is one decent sized table that the 5 of us used for eating, playing games, etc. It would be a squeeze to seat any more than 6 but there is another table for 4 downstairs.
It was very easy to communicate with the owners. The outside of the house could probably do with a really good clean but other than that no complaints at all. The inside was very clean.
I would recommend the house.
Awesome place to stay!

We only had a short stay here, but it was awesome! The upstairs was perfect for my husband and baby, and the older kids had a blast staying downstairs, playing pool and hanging out. They also loved jumping off the dock and swimming in the lake! IT was the perfect way to end our summer~
