Jim and I would like you to know how much we appreciated staying in an Irwin Bay cottage.  We don't have an opportunity to get away as a family as often as we would like, but your accommodations allowed us to do just that, and in comfort!  The cleanliness, the proximity to the lake, and the hospitality all made for a memorable experience.  We do hope to see you again.
~Sincerely, Jim & Robin S., Kirtland, OH
 

We always have a great time at Irwin Bay.  The cottages are always clean and the grounds are always kept in nice shape. Julie is very attentive to your needs and is more than happy to help with any questions that you may
have about activities in the area. The other guests have always been nice and friendly. We reserve a cabin every summer and can't wait for next vacation!

Irwin Bay Cottages is a wonderful place to vacation. The accommodations are exceptional for all ages. The cottages and grounds are beautifully kept and decorated.  Julie and her staff have done a great job at making you feel right at home!

I want to thank you Julie for a wonderful week.  The special touch that you have brought to Irwin Bay shows throughout.  We started camping at Irwin Bay in 1980.  We would go down every year and due to a busy life have not been there for more than ten years or more.  My husband and I just returned to Irwin Bay Cottages and were most pleasantly surprised.  We had a wonderful week.  The updates to the cottages were amazing.  When you look up the word "clean" in the dictionary, you will see a picture of the inside of the cottage.  We loved it.  Everything you would want in a wonderful vacation by the lake is there.  There is dock space for each cottage, and a fish cleaning station.  The fishing is great on the lake.  I caught the whopper bass of the two of us.  It is a family-oriented vacation spot.  We most definitely will be back!

I speak for all six of our fisherman in saying that we were all pleasantly surprised with the accommodations at Irwin Bay Cottages in the "Big Blue House". Often times internet sites hide and deceive the reality of the actual product or in this case property which leads to disappointment and distrust in purchasing a good or service using this media. As first time visitor, we could not have been more happy with the accommodations and the service. The house was clean, well equipped and homey. The house was large enough to have twice as many as our group of six. The walk-out deck was an added plus. The entire property is well maintained and everything is in good working order. In addition to the great cottages, your warmth and hospitality added to the great experience. You are truly a pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend your resort to fisherman and all vacationers.

Once again, Irwin Bay has given us great times we will always remember!
We really appreciate the safe, friendly, clean accommodations you & steve always provide.
Since you took ownership, you have continually up dated & improved the cottages & grounds.  What a huge difference since the first time we became "Irwin Bay-ers".  Our group has stayed at many cottages over the years, looking for just the right place to spend our bi-annual vacations.  You & Irwin Bay have won our hearts forever! 
See you next year!

On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you for providing such a lovely venue for our third annual cousin reunion. We were pleasantly surprised by the freshness and cleanliness of the cottages. We were so comfortable. The two houses were as lovely as being in our own homes. The small decorating touches and the brightness of the rooms made a welcoming environment. Your sense of humor and friendliness was “icing on the cake”

I just wanted to say thank you for another great vacation.  The work you have done to the cottages is just amazing.  We are pleasantly surprised every year when we come back.  This year we had new carpeting, new furniture in our living room, the new lights are just awesome on the docks.  The kids had a great time night fishing on the docks.  We’ve been coming to Irwin Bay for the last 7 years and you have definitely given the place a “home sweet home” feeling.  The cottages are so clean and comfortable and the grounds are just beautiful.  We hooked up with 2 families this year and had the best time.  They told me that they are already penciled in for next year.  All your hard work is very much appreciated.  See you next year.
