This was not our first time staying here. We come back because we. Really like it here. I must say though, this trip had a couple issues we encountered. 1. Sliding door on this property was not locked when we arrived. Everything was fine but could have had a different outcome. Just giving you a heads up. 2. The dryer was full of towels we had to fold and put away so we had some to use. 3. This was not good! We were going to use the oven for dinner but what we found in there turned us away from even wanting to use it. It was disgustingly filthy… and there was a pan left in it with food on it. Did no one check this from the last renters? 4. And the last uncomfortable thing was there were cobwebs full of dead bugs all around the light above the table. We would love to come back again because we do love it up there but at this time, we’re not sure it will happen. We checked out on October 6th and

The deck overlooking the lake was a highlight for me. The owner was very responsive to questions. It's a very steep hill to reach the beach but it's worth the climb.

The cottage rooms were spacious enough, clean and maintained. The two full baths were great. The kitchen is under equipped if you plan to cook, but you could bring some of your own stuff.

Peaceful with Great Views
My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Hoff Cottage. We were disappointed that there was not a fire pit on the beach as indicated in the listing. Outside of that, the cottage was cozy, and the perfect size for our family of 6. The location of the property is great, very peaceful and quiet, which we very much appreciated.

Great place to stay.
The cottage was very nice and clean and the updated both rooms were a bonus. It was great for our large family of 6 and we even had other family members staying with us and there was plenty of room for everyone. We spent most of our time on the beach and everyone had a blast. It was close to stores and shops which was nice because we forgot a few things, like water shoes. Don’t forget water shoes! There is sand for the kinds to play in but the beach is very rocky but beautiful! I think my only qualm would be the beds are very uncomfortable but we only stayed for a few nights so it wasn’t that bad. It’s a really cute place to stay and I would recommend it to others.

Beautiful cottage
The Hoff cottage was beautiful and so cozy. The family loved how at home we felt. I wouldn’t definitely be coming back again. The only thing we disliked was the check-in and check-out time. The check-in is too late you get there and half the day is gone. As well as the check-out it’s so easy you don’t get to enjoy the beautiful sunrise because you need to be out of the house at 11. Overall the stay was wonderful and the view of the lake was stunning.

A slice of paradise #LakeHuron
We had a great time at Hoff Cottage and we appreciate the opportunity to stay there. The home is clean with fresh smells upon entry, nice kitchen and dining area too. We enjoyed the lovely Lake Huron breeze flowing through the opens windows! Kids loved the bunk room, allowing ample sleeping space for the big kids. The porch size is perfect and a nice place to relax and the lower deck is perfect for rinsing sandy feet after exploring the beach. The hill is a bit steep to go down and climb up, but manageable. We pitched a screen tent lake side for a break from the sun and to hold our beach toys overnight. Fire pit on the beach is awesome! And we bought wood for $3 a bundle less then 2 minutes away. To top it off, we saw an eagle our first night and tons of stars nightly!

Great place on Lake Huron
This is a great cottage right on Lake Huron. The view of the lake is really nice and hearing the waves crashing up onto shore is very peaceful. The cottage itself is pretty nice, but could use a little TLC. Several of the door handles didn't work too well, one of which actually trapped a friend in the bathroom for a good 5 - 10 minutes before he could get out which was hilarious. One of the toilet handles didn't work very well and requires an adjustment. The kitchen chairs held up, but they creaked pretty loud giving the illusion that they were going to collapse at anytime. Some of the electrical outlets didn't work. None of these things deterred us from having a good time, just some feedback. My entire group commented on how comfortable the beds where. This was a major plus! Easily the most comfortable beds of any rental we've ever stayed in. The satellite TV with some movie channels were another great addition to the cottage. The living room furniture was comfortable and spacious, and the kitchen came well stocked. The massive BBQ on the deck, complete with full propane tank was great. We had a great time at the Hoff cottage and would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous, we will be back!
I would give Hoff Cottage 4.5 Stars if it was an option! Loved: The view! can't beat it!! We were lucky enough to have above-average fall temps and spent a lot of time on the deck in the very comfortable patio chairs, enjoying the gorgeous view during the day and a sky full of stars at night. Loved: The house! This house is CLEAN! And, for me, that is the most important thing. It is spacious, with bedrooms and bathrooms at each end of the house. The beds were comfortable and there was a TV and fans (much appreciated) in each room. Fully stocked kitchen, which we took full advantage of. Loved: Shopping! We drove in to Lexington, just a short distance from the cottage. Nice shops and great food (you must try the cheesecake at Windjammer's). We did shop a bit in Port Sanilac, but there were not too many shops there. Did not love: The lack of hot water in the shower. There were only two of us who took showers early one day and the hot water ran out quickly. There was hot water in the kitchen for washing dishes, though, so I'm not sure what the problem is. For a house that sleeps 12, two people should be able to shower comfortably. Didn't Love: A problem with fruit flies. We tried apple cider vinegar, but to no avail. They made their way throughout the house (bathroom, bedroom). Small issue, but an issue nontheless. Just enough to be annoying. Didn't Love: Keypad on the entry door was problematic, did not seem to want to work for us. Not sure if we were the problem or the keypad. But, there were four of us and no one was able to get it to work other than the first time entry. Confused: The original listing says "housekeeping included" and we paid a $90 fee. However, the "rules" sheet in the cottage asks that you please wash any dishes we used and take out the garbage. So what's the $90 fee for?? All that being said, from first reservation email to last email advising we were checking out, Steve was very responsive to any question or issue we had. This was a great experience! We are planning to make this an annual trip and will be back to the Hoff Cottage!

Pure bliss!
My family and I had such an amazingly relaxing and fun time. The cottage is brilliant- even when sitting inside you still can see the beach. The deck is everything you could ever want on a cottage that sits right above the lake. You get the best view and for someone like me with heart issues I can't over exert myself and the deck was my main hang out for the week- absolutely glorious. We loved it so much that we locked in another vacation here next August just a few days into our stay! I already miss seeing my kids and husband down on the gorgeous beach! See you next year :)
