Wonderful stay

We had such a great time at Blue Turtle Cottage! The listing honestly didn’t do it justice! The house was clean and very cozy. The outdoor living space was perfect for our family. The lake was great for our kids, with a sandy area and shallow walkout, as well as lots of water toys. Melissa was so welcoming and accommodating and easy to get ahold of if we had any questions. We would definitely love to visit again next summer!

Blue Turtle Memories

We enjoyed our stay at the lake cottage. We had a lot of great memories from our stay! My favorite was playing homer in derby in the lake with my son, going on a paddle boat ride with my wife, and hunting for shells with my daughters. We will definitely come back and recommend this Cottage. Thank you Melissa for letting us be able to make these family memories at your cottage. Thanks, The Czerwinski Family

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Stolz

My family and I live in Brighton, MI. Which is 30 minutes from the Blue Turtle cottage. We love our Lake front house and would like to occasionally share it with people looking to get away to a cute water front cottage, (perhaps) not too far away. I am also a Michigan Licensed Professional Realtor specializing in buyer and seller needs.

Why they chose this property

I love our cottage! I had been looking for over 3 years for something like this. We don't have the time to travel "up North" to the "cottage". So I kept my search local. This is a newer home compared to many lake front home/cottages. It was built in 2003 and is very up to date with everything you could need.

What makes this property unique

Many other cottages have about 40 ft of water frontage. Our cottage has a whopping 140'! The water is shallow for a ways out, which makes it fun for playing in the water. We are connected to 6 other lakes by boat or kayak/canoe. One is a no wake lake that makes for awesome fishing! We have a western exposure giving us an awesome sunset every evening!
