Perfect location and super clean!
House was immaculate, backyard had everything you need (super clean grill, comfy lounge chairs, fire pit, and hot tub) for fun and relaxation! Great fishing off the boat slip in the back too. Have had issues with old pots/pans in previous rentals, but these were all in excellent condition. Huge plus when you have a family and will be making some meals at home. Would definitely recommend to anyone, zero complaints!

Beautiful lake cottage with amazing outdoor space
This owner really knows how to VRBO. Had a great stay in July. We fished, swam, played pickle ball, went kayaking and paddle boarding. My college and high school age sons went fishing from the peddle boat as well as the dock. They caught bass, perch and carp. We are runners and ran the to Jordan Lake trail from the cottage as well as the Grand River Valley trail from the trailhead in Ionia- a 23 minute drive. We walked downtown to the bakery, grocery store and restaurants. The cottage is very clean and uses the spaces well. The hot tub is clean and well maintained.

Relax with Family
We were surprised with how nice the property was. The deck is the perfect place to relax and catch up with family. The hot tub is an added bonus. Everything we needed was just a short walk away (Parks, Bakery, Restaurant). The host is responsive and provided several unexpected perks. We enjoyed every moment of our stay.

Sweet cottage
As soon as you walk into this sweet cottage and see the lake view and spacious deck, you start to relax and know that you will have a great time on Jordan Lake. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and paddle boat. The upstairs bedroom was perfect for a sleepover with cousins. We will definitely be back when in the area visiting family!

I can’t say enough great things about this cottage
A group of 4 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 dogs stayed at this beach cottage. The host was amazing. He really thinks of it all. The little details were appreciated and well thought out. The cottage has everything you need. Weather wasn’t the best but the hot tub and view made up for it. Shower was great. Beds were comfortable. Loved having fans and sound machines. Location is perfect. Close to so many things. Buddy’s was great to have next door. Food was good. The downtown was cute. Loved the bakery (best donuts ever), Terry’s, the library, parks, the list goes on. It’s so comforting coming into a clean cottage. Thank you for a wonderful weekend. Would definitely come back in the future.

The pictures don't do it justice. We were very impressed. All the little touches were great. We really appreciated the maple syrup on the table when we walked in. Loved the house and all the comfy-ness of it! We needed some R & R and we got it. Loved the suggestions on the chalkboard of where to shop and where to eat. Lovely town, good shopping and good restaurants. Thank you for a great stay!

The Beach Cottage had everything we needed and more. Our group enjoyed the boats, hot tub, games, ample sitting/eating space inside and outside, fire pit and nearby basketball and pickleball courts. There was something for everyone. The hosts had clear instructions on the house and information about nearby restaurants and activities. We also appreciated the completely fenced-in yard so that our dog could be outside with us off leash.

We have stayed in many rentals and this was the most well equipped and cleanest of places. Jason truly has thought of everything when it comes to this cottage. Most places you go you have to bring extra toilet paper or towels and this had plenty of everything you need for your stay. I especially enjoyed the blueberry coffee! We ate at Buddy’s one night and it was pretty good. Also checked out the bakery/coffee shop, The Rusted Poppy, the chocolate store, and the antique shops. All were very nice and the pastries at the bakery were amazing!! The weather was cool when we were there, but the hot tub at night was amazing and so peaceful. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood and you can’t beat the view. Thank you, Jason!

When we first arrived at the house and walked in, we were in awe. It was super clean, it's was furnished with EVERYTHING you need! They even had a welcome basket with graham crackers, marshmallows, and Hershey's for smores. The place was beautiful. The view was even better. I could definitely get used to waking up, looking out the patio doors at the beautiful lake. The place was amazing and we plan to come back for sure. The process was so simple! Very great 1st experience with VRBO!
