The space
The main room features original wood paneling from the 1940s and an open floor plan with kitchen, living and dining areas. The attached sunroom has views of the river and accommodates beds for six. Just outside the cottage you will find comfortable seating, propane grill, picnic area, fire pit, and steps down to the riverbank.

The living area has a smart TV with streaming services and sound bar for movie night, and all three sofas are pull out sleepers for overflow beds. A dedicated workspace is prefect for catching up on emails or letting the kids doodle, and the bookshelf is filled with games and reading materials for all ages. The round dining table is a convertible poker/bumper pool table with all game equipment provided. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of cookware and basic staples for family meals.

Private drive with off-street parking for up to three cars.

Guest access
Guests have access to entire cottage and yard. Owner is next door on adjoining property.

Other things to note
No central A/C. Fans are available in both rooms. Well water may have a taste/odor so we provide distilled water in the refrigerator as well as a tap water filter.

Firewood not provided for the fire pit. Bring fishing rods if you'd like to fish outside the cottage.

The EOM cottage was built in the 1940s as a club house for eight men from Vassar, MI who met Every Other Monday night for pretzels, poker and fun. It was later sold to the Vassar American Legion and served as a meeting spot for many years. We have updated the decor and amenities to modern tastes but strive to keep this historical connection alive for our guests!
