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.

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, 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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.
