Vacation with friends
Posted Jun. 22, 2024 on HomeAwayWe spent 6 days at the house on Tallman Lake. We enjoyed watching the various kinds of birds around the property as well as the eagles we spotted. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything you could need. We enjoyed the beautiful landscape too. Nate was quick to respond to any of our needs/concerns. The weather was hot and the air conditioner went out and Nate had someone there quickly to fix it. Whew!! The lake level is down and the sand was mushy walking to the water as well as in the water so we didn’t swim. I know there’s not much the property owner can do about that but just wanted to make aware. Overall we had a great time. We visited the casino in manistee one day and the VFW in Custer one day. We ate a couple of suppers at Riley’s Rendezvous on US 10 in Walhalla and the food was very good. Thanks Nate for sharing your cottage with us.

Thanks for booking the short man's cottage on Tallman lake. Glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit with us. Sorry about the air conditioning issue and we had 4 inches of rain between Friday night and Sunday morning. That did help the water level of the lake and turn everything green. Thanks again for booking with us and have a blessed day. Nate and Brenda.

Great Family Vacation Spot
Posted Sep. 5, 2023 on HomeAwayI stayed at the property with my wife and two kids (3 & 9mo). Nate was a great host and the property was filled with activities for the young ones. The beach was great, and we loved using the kayaks and the firepit. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice relaxing spot.

Peaceful getaway
Posted Aug. 28, 2023 on HomeAwayLoved the stay! So many great activities on the property like bikes, kayaks, games, a bonfire pit, binoculars for bird watching, a grill and all the supplies to whip up a good meal. The area is close to many stores and ludington is a nice small town with lots to see as well. We felt welcome and very relaxed.

Short Man’s Cottage
Posted Aug. 25, 2023 on HomeAwayThe short man’s cottage at Tallman Lake was just as advertised; clean, comfortable, quiet, and plenty of room to spread out for our party of 10. This was a quick trip to the area but would definitely book with Nate & Brenda again.

Extended weekend family getaway
Posted Aug. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayNate and Brenda were very friendly and welcoming. The location was very beautiful and peaceful. Their cottage home was very warm and inviting also kid friendly which was very nice seeing as we have three young grandsons. Nice fire pit for having a little bonfire and s’mores with the family. Also sand and water for our grandsons to play in. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

First time visitors to Michigan
Posted Aug. 6, 2023 on HomeAwayWhile in Michigan, we wanted to experience a quiet lakeside cabin. The family had a great time kayaking on the lake and fishing from the boat, as an added bonus got to watch a bald eagle fly around us! Enjoyed the deck for morning coffee, was even able to watch a crane catch his breakfast! Was a great trip, thanks for sharing a part of Michigan with us.

Short family getaway
Posted Aug. 28, 2022 on HomeAwayWe found this property when searching for a place to fit 7 of us to attend a near by family reunion in Ludington. It was a quick/easy 20 min drive to Ludington area.
The house had everything that we needed. The kids enjoyed having access to a lake across the street with use of boats and kayaks.
The area was nice and quiet.
The beds were comfy for everyone and there was plenty of space for us to spread out.
We would definitely book again in the future.
