Most of us already know

It's no secret to Michiganders that our beaches are awesome, but it's still cool to see them nationally recognized. Not one, but two Michigan beaches placed in a national ranking of the best freshwater beaches -- and one even nabbed the top spot!

We were gifted a photo package by photographer John Wierenga. These photos were taken earlier TODAY with his drone and I am totally amazed at the beauty he captured.

More photos to come. Beach Haus is booking fast and we will be listing the Road Haus tomorrow.

Welcome to Sandbar Cottages on Big Platte Lake hosted by the Mushlock family. This consists of three cottages with direct beachfront access and enjoyment of Big Platte Lake.

The Big House Cottage boasts an open porch overlooking Big Plate Lake with lake access as well. The Big House has three bedrooms and sleeps 8 people. There is a king bedroom and a queen bedroom on the main level, a king bed and two twin beds in the upstairs level. There is a full bathroom and a fully functioning kitchen as well as a large comfortable living room in the Main Haus Cottage.

Each cottage is outfitted with a/c, heat, WiFi, Roku televisions, gas grills, linens, towels, pillows, and personal fire pits. The lakefront is a shared area between all of the cottages so we request that visitors are limited and courtesy be given to the other quests while enjoying the amenities. We will be offering Kayaks and other outdoor water toys for guest enjoyment. We are not able to provide motorized water vehicles for rent but you are welcome to bring yours along!

There is working laundry facilities on the premises and they are located in the basement of the Big House. Guests from all three cottages have access to the laundry facilities in the Big House.
