Family Getawat
We rented this place for my husband, our 4 year old, our 1.5 year old twins, and myself to visit with family. The rooms were spacious enough to fit the two pack and plays and the air conditioning worked great. The home had toys for the children, which they loved. The location was perfect and very close to our family. Parking was convenient. We had a bit of trouble checking in, but the hosts were very responsive and we got our issue resolved right away. Having access to laundry was so helpful as was the large refrigerator. We did have a stain on the comforter and had to kill about 20 earwigs and a few pillbugs, which gave a bit of discomfort, but after laundering the comforters myself I felt reassured that everything else was clean. The house was spacious and well equipped for what we needed.

Just the Best!
We come to Bear Lake every year with friends, and used to tent at the campground, but after having kids decided to try a rental for a change. Having the campground right there with our friends was excellent, and this rental had everything we needed! It has so much room, and was well stocked with linens. The only slight downside is that the ac unit is on the porch right by the table which we used multiple times a day, but we simply turned the ac off for the time we would be outside. The rental stayed very cool when the ac was off, so no worries there.

Close to it all
Great location with the lake right across the street. Boat launch right on the other side of the campsite/park. Our kiddos loved fishing right from shore. House was well stocked and hosts were quick to respond and help answer any questions. Look forward to staying here again in the future.

Nice Vrbo!
Extra touches throughout the house. Kitchen area had everything! Which is rare when staying in a vrbo house. Super quiet neighborhood which made our relaxing weekend perfect. Lots of things to do in the shed which kept the teenagers busy all weekend. Thank you for that!

Great place and location!
We stayed here for an extended weekend and loved it. The rental itself is very nice and well equipped. The owners are very responsive. The location is great. We were able to go to Lake Michigan, Manistee, and Sleeping Bear Dunes without long drives. Glad they allow dogs. Would definitely rent again.
