Great Place
I had stayed in the Vacation lane places many times well before they were updated. They did a great job of updating this place. Only complaint I would have is needing "all" of your own linens (blankets, sheets, towels, wash cloths, pillow cases) It's a lot to pack when you're traveling for a long weekend. But I would 1000% stay there again, and the host was excellent at getting back to me.

Wonderful location, beautiful area
My family ABSOLUTELY enjoyed our stay at Vacation Lane. The cabin is comfy, cute and well-stocked. Bluebird cabin is on Vacation Lane & this property was PERFECT for families or small groups. We enjoyed the option to sit on the patio, or at the beach. Plenty of quality Adirondack chairs to sit along the lake in, a swing, a bench on the dock. Bonfire pit was also a great space to hang out with other families, should you choose to do so. Hamlin lake had beautiful views, since it’s along the state park woods and dunes. We chose the state park beach for our Lake Michigan visits. The property was just a short drive away. I highly recommend this property. My family really enjoyed our stay and we will definitely be back!
