Beautiful location
This property is so beautiful. These cabins have sole access to this small lake great for kayaking, canoeing and fishing! The cabin was definitely a cabin with basic amenities, but was great for our family. There were funny things like one of the door knobs that kept falling off and the bedroom that didn't have a door at all. My only recommendation would be a deep clean. It was surface clean, but bugs and webs all over. But, really had a great time!

Cute Cottage!
I stayed at Tacklebox with four friends. It was charming! Very clean. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we enjoyed watching the lake while the snow fell. If you are tall, this probably isn't the place for you. I'm 5'2" and I could touch the ceiling. But we absolutely loved our time there. We hope to return next year!

Quick 2 day getaway
Pros: The place is situated on a nice small lake and has a great outdoor setting with fire pit. Cons: There we’re just soo many smaller things wrong that just comes from neglect or failure to care. 1. No grill utensils( the grate was falling apart and nothing there to clean or use to when grilling) 2. The door knob fell off right as we got there to the side door. It got very annoying that we didn’t even use the door and walked around to the front door. 3. There were no trash bags for the garbage. I ran out after day 1 and we had to use small grocery bags. 4. The left side of the stove did not work at all which only left us with one large burner and a small burner. 5. Didn’t affect my group too much but this place is not for anyone 5ft 10 or above, you will hit your head on everything inside. Ceilings are very short. Overall I’m still rating it at 3 because of the outside and peaceful ambience around the cabin. If they didn’t charge as much money per night I might have rated it higher, but way too much money for this cabin that needs some attention.

very peaceful place.Lake was clean.
Nice property, simple and cute. Morning coffee looking at the lake and seeing the sunrise was awesome grilling on the afternoon and starring at campfire while your kids do marshmallows was an experience we will never forget. Beautiful property with lots of potential. I would like if they put stronger locks and metal doors to sleep with a peace of mind. It gets very dark at night there. Better beds would be nice, didn't felt rested in the morning. Specially with lots of mosquitoes, so bring bugs spray and a comforter to put on top of bed to sleep better. So, there is room for improvement, but like any other business it takes time and money to get it to the desired standard, I know it will. I'll consider renting again as more improvements are meet. I give 3 out of 5.

Family getaway
The property is cute, there’s plenty to do on the grounds but some of the neighbors may be close. The upstairs room is large enough for at least 4 people. The place was cool and comfortable. The scenery is beautiful. Cons: The kitchen is very basic with a not working coffee maker and a couple frying pans and one very small pot. Bring an extra if you plan to do more than boil 4 eggs. The shower is super small so if you are above average size it will be a tight squeeze. Bedroom on the main floor has no door (but has a door in the room just leaning up against a wall!) and the mattress in that room needs to be replaced. It’s extra springy and uncomfortable. Pros: everything else was just fine. The access to the water and small water crafts is great. There is a park, basketball court and plenty of room to walk. The place is cozy, total lake life vibes with a perfect view. Bring bug spray and extra firewood. There are plenty of houses selling firewood on the way in. Overall I would recommend this place, it’s just a little rough, like a few steps up from camping. A couple minor fixes and this place would be perfect.

Hey there!

Welcome to Camp Blue Canoe and thank you for checking us out. We are the family behind this beautiful, nature filled getaway we call paradise! Our tribe, the LaGiglias and the Regans, is all in the family. Bustling with 4 adults and 7 kids between our two households, we understand the daily grind, the everyday challenges, and frankly... the need to sometimes just got out of Dodge. The first time we walked this amazing 13 acres of Pure Michigan, we were completely sold. The rolling green hills, the waving forest trees, and the majestic Little Pleasant Lake instantly captured our family's hearts.

Our goal is to create that home away from home for families just like ours. We hope everyone staying at Camp Blue Canoe can wind down, take in the fresh air, and forget life for awhile. We are committed to making your stay as enjoyable and memorable as possible and creating a relaxing environment. Stay tuned, we have huge plans for this place and hope you will come along for the ride!

Cheers.... Salute.... Cent'Anni.... Céad Míle Fáilte,

John, Mel, Joe, & Sarah
