Weekend retreat
The property was very clean and ready for check in. Jake was exceptionally fast in responding to any of our questions and both check in and check out were very simple. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook several meals and we used the grill outside.
When the dam is restored and the lake refilled this will be a perfect getaway.

Amazing house!! Great for large families
We had a wonderful stay! We had 3 families with children and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and visit. The house was very clean and well stocked. It had many activities and games for all ages. The hosts were great with communication and were quick to respond to questions and needs! Would definitely stay at this house in the future.

Definitely will be back
The place was great. Was everything we were looking for and more. The old lake bed was a treasure of shells, kids dug out there for hours. There is a small community park with swing sets and more sand. The kids were in digger heaven.
House has TONS of games, the kids fell in love with bop it. Felt very safe.
The house is closer to 28 minutes to Dow gardens.

Lake Side Retreat
Booked for proximity to Sanford/Midland MI area. Clean update property. Property host is very accommodating, we noticed no grill and a brand new grill was delivered the next day and was set up. You could sleep 9 very comfortably, even though we only had 4-6. Outside patio lends itself to entertaining, big six person table and seating for 4 at the propane fire pit. Would definitely book again for a to the area…just a bummer Wixom Lake dam burst and it won’t be repaired until 2024 at the earliest. Very spacious and set up to entertain!!
