Such a fabulous time! The host was so kind. We attended the Gilmore Girls event in Brighton and had just as much fun staying at the house as the event. Comfortable and welcoming. The host even put out Gilmore Girl napkins and coasters! Ample room, everything worked as it should. Not a single complaint! So kind. I would highly recommend!

We had an amazing week at Dottie’s Lakeside. It fit our family of 11 perfectly. The grandchildren enjoyed the paddle boards, kayaks and swimming in the shallow water by the dock. The beautiful view, deck and all the nature in the area makes your lake house one of our favorites. Hoping to come again. Thanks for all the memories.

Family friendly

The host was extremely fast at responding if I had a question. The kids loved the water fun. They especially enjoyed the paddle boards. They entertained themselves for hours. There were just a ton of fun toys. Although there were a lot of homes and seemingly were close, the trees made it feel very secluded.

Fantastic Lake Getaway!

We stayed the weekend for a family wedding in Ann Arbor and it was really a wonderful spot! The host was very responsive, the house was clean, and the lake was a blast. The only thing I did note is the AC unit services all three floors which means the lower level is cold, the middle is great, and the upper is a bit warm! We would stay again.

Beautiful home and views

It's the perfect vacation rental. We no longer live in Brighton, but come back once a year to visit friends and family. There's plenty of space for my family and ideal for guests to stop by and visit during our stay. The backyard is huge, fishing is great, a nice little beach, and the neighbors were very friendly. The views are beautiful. We will definitely be coming back next summer!

Great Lake Getaway

We had an amazing time and took full advantage of relaxing at a home that sits on a lake in Michigan. The host was extremely responsive, which was very helpful when a problem arose with a toilet (she took care of it FAST). The lake is very well-maintained and is great for fishing, swimming, and boating. The house comes with SUPs, kayaks, and a canoe. There were plenty of towels, lake toys, a barbecue, and a fire pit. The house was fully stocked. There were plenty of blankets, sheets, pillows, and towels. The long driveway and loads of trees were breathtaking. It is an incredible neighborhood. We have runners in the family, so this was important to us. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend the home. I hope they get more patio furniture for the upstairs balcony down the road. My wife and I sat in the two chairs and soaked it all in (there is a table and plenty of chairs below on the back patio, so wishful thinking on my part).

Beautiful Home

We rented this BEAUTIFUL home to be close to U of M for graduation weekend festivities. It was in a great location - just a 25-30 minute easy drive to Ann Arbor. With two levels of living space and lots of bathrooms, it was perfect for our large group. Check-in was easy and the house was VERY clean. The kitchen had everything we needed for entertaining a crowd. Even though the early spring weather was cool and rainy, we enjoyed kayaking on the lake and fishing off the dock. We highly recommend staying at this house and wish we could stayed a few more days!
