Terrible experience in the end. My family, which included my parents, wife, sister, and 2-year-old…read moredaughter, rented this cottage on Big Star Lake for our annual August vacation. The weather was beautiful, but the cottage was slightly dingy, ceiling tiles were falling down, and the master bed must have been glued together with elmers. This last point is noteworthy because the same bed turned out to be 'collapsible', which may be convenient for moving day, but wasn't that great for sleeping on. My parents slept on the floor all week! We alerted Scott, the owner of the cottage, but he did not respond, apologize for the inconvenience, or make any attempt to fix the bed. To add insult to injury, Scott and Lisa decided to charge us a back door cleaning fee by holding security deposit money. They held $150. Although my family and I had spent about 4 hours cleaning the place on the last day- stripping beds, sweeping and vacuuming floors, washing dishes, scrubbing the bathroom and emptying trash- they cited the fact that we left behind fingerprints on the glass door. The offense was hardly worthy of a $150 fee- but I suppose the owners know that out of state renters are not in a position to make a legal claim. I recommend that your family look elsewhere on the lake.

If…read moreyour interested in a quiet scenic settling along the Little Manistee River this is the place for you. If you are an aspiring fly fisherman or a professional, this is the place for you. If your just looking to get away and read a book, this is the place for you. And I hear in the winter its a great place for snow-mobilers. The proprietors are wonderful people who do their best to make sure your stay is exactly what your looking for. The accommodations in the cabins are rustic, but not lacking. All the pots, pans, and dishes you could ask for, with full kitchens and baths. Clean sheets and towels on the beds and in the bathrooms. There is a playground with a volleyball net as well. There are also lots of board games in the cabins themselves. At night every cabin has an outside fire pit perfect for a fire. If your into fishing there are many great rivers and lakes up here with world class fishing. I watched Joe, the proprietor fish as he does apparently every night and it was more worthwhile than the hours of videos on youtube i had watched before on how to do it. I came up here with the men in my family to have a relaxing time and we certainly did. We hope to make this a yearly trip, it was truly that great. Good for couples, groups, families, weddings (their was a wedding here while we were here) and individuals.

***RENTER BEWARE***…read more Good Luck booking a reservation here! I've booked TWICE. First booking was over two weeks ago- the host decided to cancel my reservation today after it was already "confirmed" and accepted at purchase. I've already coordinated 14 people to have them take this weekend off of work and other family arrangements that was reserved two weeks ago. I tried to contact today with a reason or if I was missing any information they may have needed. Nope. No response. So I booked it again today, and surprise surprise a notification 30 minutes ago that it was cancelled without reason. Tried contacting the "host" Chelsea multiple times. ZERO response. Unreal and beyond unprofessional. Take your money elsewhere. Can't even get a simple response after multiple POLITE attempts. Absolutely disgusted with the lack of care and urgency this "host" or whoever it is has.

@meemosfarm #luxurylogcabin #meemosfarm #livingthedream #seclusion #secludedluxury #puremichigan…read more 2 weeks ago, my husband surprised me for our 17th wedding anniversary with a trip to Meemo's Farm. I had no idea where we were going but was just instructed to pack a swimsuit, comfy clothes (aka no "going out clothes") and some bug spray. Now, people who know me (especially my hubbie), knows I am not a fan of the outdoors nor do I like camping. It was a non-negotiable for me that I will never go camping with him. So, when I heard "bug spray", I was on high alert. As we continue our drive away from Chicago, I'm trying to get my bearings on which direction we're headed...nope, not Wisconsin, nope, not Purdue (where we graduated), but north after the Indiana border...aha! Michigan! However, that still did not help me figure out what we were going to do for our anniversary. At first, I thought, oh by the lake...then we drove inland...ehhh...that's when he lost me. For the life of me, I could not Sherlock Holmes my way into solving the mystery. A few hours later, we arrive at a building and met Mark, the "concierge". With his Australian accent, I half expected to see a kangaroo on this trip. However, we follow him on a dirt road and get to a gate that opens from the side with a sign saying "Meemo's Farm Game Preserve & Retreat" and I literally thought "Jurassic Park"! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! I couldn't believe he was taking me camping. Then, as we continued through the road, passing trees, some creeks, more trees, we drive up to a log cabin and can see a lake in front of it. My first thought was "At least it wasn't a tent, but...we drove 5 hours to stay in a 1-room Lincoln Log House?" Mark opens the door...and I swear I am on "MTV Cribs"! We walk upon a threshold to the "Great Room" - complete with HUGE flat screen TV, leather sectional, dining room with an antler chandelier, and a state-of-the-art kitchen in a rustic log cabin house design. Then we go to the bottom floor that leads east and west - one towards the gym and the other to another kitchen, poker table, and....a 2-lane bowling alley!! It was indeed not a 1-room cabin, but a 3-bedroom, 4-bath luxury lodge complete with a hot tub on the top deck, comfy patio furniture, a fire pit, and a grill. Also, several great touches like towel warmers and heated floors in the bathrooms! We spent 3 days in this luxury retreat called "The Lanes" using the hot tub, bowling alley, gym, walking the woods, and basically resting and relaxing. This property sits on ~1,300 acres with several other cottages and has several activities including hunting, skeet shooting, ATV, horseback riding, etc. I now have fond memories of "glamping" in Michigan and look forward to our next visit! We'll bring more folks with us next time! Thank you, Meemo's Farm, and my hubbie for a wonderful anniversary weekend!

Okay so I just got back yesterday from a winter weekend there there was lots o tho of things but a…read morefew bad things. When you go into the meadowlands/foxglove cabins there's so carpet or wood floor it's only concrete. And the bunk beds felt kind of like prison beds. And a few of their food items there were a bit questionable..though on the second day there it was alit more packed. The worship time was amazing everyone had lots of fun and there was plenty of space. I do wish everything wasn't as expensive..but it's camp so. Also I was a little bit hoping for a bathroom in our cabin but we had to share one and it didn't smell or look like it had been cleaned which is why we used the one in the sanctuary instead it's much nicer. The game room and the gym were really nice and the other places were to. It was pretty much really nice except for the bathroom near the cabins and the foxglove cabin.But I think I would go again in the summer maybe where there's more to do!
