You can check in after 4:00 pm, and check out is before 10:00 am. We suggest you contact us about a week before your stay if you want to come early or stay a little later. If we don’t have another guest leaving or coming right next to your stay and can get the cottage cleaned in time, we will work out a good time for you.

When you book directly with us, payment in full is required to secure your reservation. You can pay securely through our website. For special accommodations, please feel free to call us. 

If you are booking through a third partner such as VRBO, they will handle payments and terms. 

We include a nonrefundable $59 fee to cover damage to the rental property caused by you or your party during your stay. This fee covers incidental damage up to $500.*

As a friendly request, please check with us first if you would like something moved or changed in the cottage. Please do not move the furniture (like cabinets); do not remove nails or nail things to the walls; and do not remove the window screens. Basically, treat the cottage like your own place. We understand that accidental damage may occur. If you tell us honestly, we will work with you to resolve the matter.

* In the rare case that damages exceed $500, we will contact the renter to discuss the issue and the associated repair costs, which will be the responsibility of the renter. 

The cottages come with basic pots, pans, dishes, cups, flatware, coffee maker, microwave, etc. that you should need. You will need to bring your own hair dryer and shower soaps, shampoo etc. 

While there is a charcoal grill at each cottage, you will need to bring your own charcoal and lighter fluid. 

The cottages come with pillows, sheets and light summer blankets for each bed. You will need to bring your own warmer blankets and towels, including kitchen towels. 

You will also need to bring your own paper products such as paper towels, napkins, and toilet paper. 

Within a 5 minute drive from Camp Blue Canoe, there are two 24 hour stores (Meijer and Walmart) where you can buy just about anything you forgot. 

Yes, the water has been tested and is completely fine for use. That said, it is well water and high in iron content. You might consider bringing some drinking water.

No. We love pets, but for the health and safety of all our guests, we ask that you leave them at home. If you have a dog or other pet and are considering a vacation at Camp Blue Canoe, please make other arrangements for them.

Smoking is not allowed in any of the buildings at Camp Blue Canoe. You may smoke outside but please take care to not leave cigarette butts anywhere on the property.

Of course we want you to have the best vacation ever, but your fellow guests want the same. Lots of people come to Camp Blue Canoe for the nice peaceful surroundings and tranquility. For that reason, we ask our guests to keep the volume of the CD/radio and television at a level that is not disturbing to other guests. After 10 pm, we kindly ask that you not make too much noise outside so that other guests may sleep.

Campfires are fun! Each cottage has access to a campfire ring near their cottage. A few remarks: 

– Don’t leave young children alone at the fire. 

– Stay with your fire and keep an eye on it to make sure it is safe. 

– Make sure when you leave, that the fire is out and the situation is safe.

There might be some stacked next to the campfire area or you can pick up sticks in the woods. There is also firewood available for purchase in Three Rivers.

In a word…GREAT! Little Pleasant lake is a 30 acre lake that is listed as 45 feet deep which means it is a great place for fish to flourish. It is filled with blue gill, crappie, perch, large mouth bass, and occasionally catfish and gar fish. It is connected to Pleasant Lake by the little creek that runs through our property. It has been reported that there are pike in Pleasant Lake, but we haven’t seen any pulled from our lake. There are also lots of turtles and frogs and other lake wildlife. There is also only one other home on the lake with no public access site, so we basically have the lake to ourselves!

Yes, the lake is considered a public lake and therefore a license is required for anyone 17 years old or older. Kids fish free!

We have three row boats, three canoes, and two kayaks. We offer them complimentary to our guests and it is on a first come first serve basis. You must wear a lifejacket at all times while in a boat, canoe or kayak. Guests must bring their own life jackets. All the guests do share them, but rarely are they all in use.

We have some extra life jackets for the boats. We ask that they not be used for swimming and there are often swim floats and toys around the beach that you can use. But please make sure you are wearing the correct size flotation device. 

Since there is no public access or ramp on our property, the only boats you can get on our lake are ones that can be carried from the parking area to the lake like canoes, kayaks, or light fishing boats. The lake is a no wake lake and therefore no motors larger than 10 hp are allowed. That said, there are five all sports lakes within a few miles with public access ramps where you can drop your boat and fish, ski, or motor around. We have plenty of parking for your boat and trailer too.
