Great cottage for family with small kids

Ohio Bill Homerville, Ohio
Review Submitted: July 26, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Thanks so much for making this cottage available. The location on the lake is great for the kids. The water is only knee deep for 100 yards. nice sandy bottom. Crystal clear water. Lake Michigan is 2.5 miles away with a nice beach. The dunes are 15 minutes away, Leland is 30 minutes, Traverse city 25 minutes, Glen Arbor 15 minutes. The boat included is a plus. A motor can be rented at Millers Hide away resort. Fishing is tricky on the lake. Proved to be more challenging than once thought. Local knowledge is usefull, as is a depth finder. The Trading Post is an excellent store, with excellent pizza. Papa J's has a nice pizza buffet. When we do this again we will take our own kayaks. Platte river connects the Platte lake to Lake Michigan. Really no need to rent it you have your own.Trout are in the Platte river so take you fly rod. Easy access with the boat supplied. Nice quiet neighborhood, and nice neighbors. Thanks alot, we appreciate it! Great location, and great for a family.
