Perfect Getaway!!

We spent a long weekend and had a blast from the moment we arrived until we left. The hot tub, fire pit and game room allowed to stay put with never a dull moment. The kitchen was well outfitted and we cooked all of our meals there. The view of the lake is spectacular, we were able to get out there for a nice walk on the ice. Timely responses on all requests from booking through the entire stay. Highly recommended.

Island waters in Michigan.

This vacation suited our family so well. It was more than what we had expected. The House had everything ready for a wonderful time at the lake. Just bring yourself and a swimsuit. The kayaks and Paddleboard were a huge plus to our vacation. We also ended up renting the pontoon that was available with the Rental. Definitely a must for this Lake. Take it out to the sandbar west of the lake and enjoy snorkeling for different shells in a crystal clear blue water. The beds were also extremely comfy. The Hosts did an amazing job on making sure guests feel better than at Home. We will be renting this place out again for our next big family vacation.
