About this cottage rental
Relax and unwind in this charming completely redecorated 40's style cottage on 8 totally private and secluded wooded acres. Stroll the grounds, try a cast or two from the bridge overlooking our peaceful private stocked pond...or take a serene walk through the woods or relax with a beverage by our pond waterfall. You might even catch a glimpse of our stealthy blue heron.
Luxuriously comfortable furnishings, a wood burning stove, and a very nicely appointed kitchen plus many thoughtful touches not usually found in a rental, create a welcome retreat to let the cares of everyday life melt away. Think of Heron Pointe not just as a "rental." It's your exceptional home away from home!
While there is plenty to do right on the property (a library of interesting books, DVD's, family games and puzzles, a big screen TV with complimentary premium channels, a ROKU stick, and very fast internet) Alpine Valley Ski resort is only 5 minutes away.
In addition, six beautiful metro parks are just minutes away by car and there are a variety of restaurants to enjoy from casual to fine dining. The movie theater is just 10 minutes away. You will also have access to our neighborhood all-sports lake with a playground for the little kids and volleyball and basketball for the bigger ones.
Quaint and interesting towns such as Milford, Holly (birth place of Prohibition!) Hartland and Highland offer fun shopping and dining. In the fall, visit Long's cider mill in Commerce and load up on their delicious piping hot donuts!
Back home, sun or have coffee on the back deck in total privacy with just the squirrels and the songbirds to keep you company. After sunset, star gaze with the one you love, cozy up in our large organic garden/cigar bar/fire pit area or the deck fire pit or build a true campfire in our campfire circle in the woods. Plenty of complementary firewood ...it's all here and more... for you to enjoy!

This property was AMAZING! Carol was the best host ever. Everything felt very luxurious, the kitchen was well stocked. Every guest was comfortable on every level. I wholeheartedly recommend staying with Carol. She treats everyone with kindness and respect. Carol was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. Every detail was addressed to make our stay most enjoyable!

There is absolutely nothing that could be improved. The description is spot on, except for the added touches you find everywhere.
If you want privacy and pampering, this is the spot. Our dog loved lying on the deck or walking all the paths. Such cute seating options!
walking thr paths too.

I'm not sure if there is enough room for me to write everything, I'd love to share with you!!! We had been in home isolation for 219 days ( w/3 kids) before deciding we should sneak away for a long weekend as a surprise for our kiddos who needed a break from our home/yard & all their "Zooms" classes. Wanted a Different state then our own, Within driving distance without needing a bathroom break, A place that was secluded from others (youngest child is high-risk hence our long isolation) & Still a fun place to go & make memories at too. Not a complicated thing to ask for right? This was the 1st location that I clicked on & right away knew we didn't need to look elsewhere! Just looking at the photos alone I knew that my kids would have so much fun with all the land & trees alone.... instantly sent Carol a message asking her a few questions (quite a few & quickly received a response from Carol answering them all!) Just pulling into the driveway I already knew we were "home". Every single detail was amazing & not overlooked. Walking in to the kitchen to find a nice welcome note & some goodies, exploring the house of course the kiddos were excited to see all the games, videos, Legos,..until we went outside and BOOM= HEAVEN! The yard is immaculate! It was like a scavenger hunt searching for the different decorations placed all around the 8 acres.( I won't spoil the items, but we had the kids take a list & write down all the items they found during our stay) The pond is so beautiful, several spots with chairs to sit in different areas around the pond & a hidden waterfall! Mrs. Carol stopped by on our 2nd day ( asked if ok to do so 1st & of course I wanted to meet the person who had decorated the home & yard with all the fine touches) She showed us around the yard, property, encouraged my kids to climb every tree they could & gave us a ladder to help them out if needed....*yes, Daddy had to save them a few times as they were trying to reach the "perfect" apple to eat* Mrs. Carol showed us & the kids her Garden, where to pick our own lettuce, carrots, potatoes for dinner, mint leaves for tea & how to compost! Spent hours exploring the trails, woods, fishing, digging for worms, nighttime bonfires, smores, & more. *I was right, not enough room to write everything*Carol, I still can't thank you enough for the over the top experience & memories made here! So much fun & proof that electronics are a luxury, not needed 4 fun!
