Girl’s Weekend

Everything was great. The house was perfect for a girl’s weekend, plenty of space. The location was fantastic. The views around the house looking out toward the lake were stunning, especially in the morning and evenings when the sandhill cranes were out in the back yard. Even though the weather was cold and the lake was frozen, there was plenty to do. We will definitely consider rebooking in the summertime. Overall, we had a great time and the house worked perfectly for our trip.

Wonderful Stay

Besides the great weather for snowboarding, the home and space were immaculate. There was ample space for the 7 of us and the views of the lake were quite a highlight when waking up!! Will definitely be looking to stay here again when back in the area.

Comfortable and a accomodating

Although we were there to work, we did not make use of the lake, though we did sit outside. Our host was very understanding about our need to work and was generous in refunding some of the fee when the work crew he had was fairly disruptive. Rooms were comfortable

One of the best VRBOs we have stayed at.

We stayed at the Vacation at the Lake home for 8 days. It was a wonderful. The neighborhood is great. The home is just a few minutes from shopping, and is right between Brighton and Howell, two of the nicest towns in Michigan. The beds were comfortable. The home was very clean. It is perfectly laid out so that you can have wonderful family dinners and game nights. The lake views are beautiful. The host is great, and I would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing getaway

We loved having the bedrooms on the 2nd floor. Compared to most rental houses, there was plenty of seating available in the living area and we had the best morning coffee out on the patio facing the lake. The beds were comfortable and the lake was surprisingly quiet. Although this was near the end of September, so mid summer might be a different story. The kids loved the kayaks!

Fabulous days on the lake

This house met all our needs - and exceeded them in most cases. We spent hours out in the kayaks exploring this wonderful lake. The house has a ton of space. The grounds are meticulously cared for. The neighborhood is delightful. It was a great few days of vacation. And our chat with the owner was a delight. We will look for an opportunity to return. Thank you for a great few days!
