Reviews

Every year for the past 20 years my brothers and I fish somewhere in Michigan, usually along the side of the state. Ralph and I go north in mid summer to find a lake and a place to stay for late August or mid September. All the places we have stayed have been nice. This year we came upon the Sandbox cottage and it had the “just right” feeling. We made arrangements to stay there and we were soooo happy we did. The cottage accomadated 6 of us very comfortabley, had plenty of eating space, the best supplied kitchen we have ever had, a wonderful porch, yard, fish cleaning table, fire pit, yard chairs to sit by the lake. The lake was easy to fish and has nice size panfish . I would recommend the Sandbox to all fishermen or anyone else who would like a rustic yet well furnish place at the lake for a week or2.

"The Sandbox cottage is a comfortable cottage in a peaceful, tranquil setting on Bass Lake. We enjoyed kayaking and enjoying the water just a few steps away from the relaxing front porch. It has all the amenities needed for a relaxing vacation with family. We definitely would return again."
--Laurie and Joe (Spring Lake, MI)

Another wonderful week at the Sandbox cottage with my mom & sisters for a girls week! Clean, well equipped cottage with great sun deck area including lounge chairs. Has a great vintage cottage look with lots of space . Especially enjoyed playing games on the enclosed porch and evening fires by the fire pit lit up by string of lights encircling the area. Able to kayak short distance to the outlet and Lake Michigan. Best of both worlds Always enjoy our stay here since 2007!

My family has rented the Sandbox for something close to 10 years. It has all the amenities you would need. Two bathrooms, a nice kitchen area, a beautiful and large screened in back porch with a large round table, not to mention a big backyard and a great dock (with plenty of fish in the lake).

We very much enjoy staying there (look forward to it all year) and love visiting the nearby towns of Pentwater and Ludington.

"Wonderful week at the Sandbox! We had such a good week. It was a time, as a family, were able to really feel like we got away from it all and enjoy some of the simpler things in life, i.e., fishing, boating, campfires, at night playing board games and watching classic movies from the great collection the “Sandbox” had. Great accommodations with plenty of room and everything we needed to truly have a wonderful vacation. The location is beautiful, and the cottage is charming, set right on Bass Lake and near Lake Michigan giving you the best of both worlds. We would like to do this again!"
--Greg Kotecki (Grand Rapids)

"We just finished up our 7th year at the Sandbox (it feels like home now). This charming, rustic cottage is located on a beautiful piece of property that's a short kayak ride to the beach. I'm already looking forward to watching the sun rise next year."
--Sandy Seegers (Chicago)

"Great place to stay! On bass lake, and only 2 minutes to the best beach on Lake Michigan! We've been coming here 10 years!"
-- Wally Loague (Indiana)

"Very relaxing. Close to Pentwater, Ludington, and Lake Michigan beaches."
--Deborah Barone (Williamston)

"Had a wonderful week here with mom and sisters. Vintage cottage appeal but very clean and roomy. Loved the front dock and deck area for sunning & swimming and awesome fire pit area. Plenty of room for everyone and games played on screened in porch area nightly! Grandkids came up for the day & loved it.. great for toddlers too. Would definitely book again."
