Just an outstanding property and host. The area it's in is adorable and 15 minutes from Ada or Lowell. All furnishings were very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. The half bath on the second floor is a nice touch. The pictures are spot on! If ever in the area, we'd hope to stay again...thanks Robert!

This was a very pleasant setting to have a family vacation. The place created a relaxing environment that was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Our family especially enjoyed the patio with fire pit. We enjoyed paddling in the two kayaks provided to explore the beautiful lake.

Wonderful spot on the lake

The view is beautiful, the neighbors are friendly and you are surrounded by cranes, bunnies and ducks. The weather was beautiful for our stay and it was convenient for all the places we visited. It was a really a great place- especially when we made s’mores at the fire pit!

A true paradise!

We had a truly lovely stay. My wife and our two kids (3 years and 10 months) stayed for a full week and we enjoyed every moment. Robert was a great host and the house is setup beautifully. The hardest part was leaving! The morning views and sunsets with s’mores are fantastic. Thank you for the great hospitality!

Quiet, Nicely Appointed Lake Home

This is a nice home on an unusually private lot for an inland Michigan Lake. The home was recently renovated and was very clean upon arrival. The host was very accommodating and easy to contact. Great place to decompress and relax. Overall, this is a great rental!

Perfect fit

We needed a place to stay as our daughter was standing up in a friend’s wedding. The home was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the view, especially catching the morning water skiers. Great cider and doughnuts from the Red Barn.

Beautiful Property Inside and Out!

We so enjoyed our stay at this place. The interior was nicely furnished and clean! The view of the lake outside was beautiful and calming. There were plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy the firepit and lake. At the end of the day, part of our group sat at the end of the dock and enjoyed watching the boats and other watercraft as they passed by on the lake. Unfortunately rain prevented us from enjoying the firepit, but that just means we will have to return to enjoy this great get away spot!

Beautiful, Quiet and Fun Getaway

This is one of my favorite places I have stayed. Quiet, right on the water so the view was beautiful and if you get up early enough to catch the mist on the water, so amazing. I could have sat there all day. My husband loved the fishing. My son loves going kayaking. House itself was super clean and comfortable. Communication with the owner was fantastic. We will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend!

Productive and Relaxing Work Getaway

This house has amazing vibes. The outside area is relaxing and fun. The lake is quiet with lots of animals. Very walkable neighborhoods. The owners are so kind and accommodating. Providing wine and coffee for us. They were easy to communicate with and even let us come early for check-in! The beds are comfortable and high quality. The space was completely clean and organized. So easy to navigate and relax in. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice vacation.

Gorgeous location! The view of the lake was so peaceful. We saw so much wildlife during our stay. The outside toys for the kids were nice and our kids enjoyed playing on the shore of the lake. If you come during summer and plan on having your child sleep in the lakeview room, bring a blackout curtain! There are no blinds in that room and my daughter was up past 10pm every night since it was so bright. The Orchards at the Red Barn nearby was a great place to grab a pizza or get some ice cream. The location was an easy drive to nearby town of Ada and Grand Rapids.
