We came for an ice fishing trip on Peach Lake. The property was very nice. I imagine it would be a very nice place in the summer. Host was very responsive with my questions/requests. Would recommend for a small group or family.

Really is a Hisden Gem

This is a really great place! The location is wonderful! It is right on Peach Lake, with a view of the sunset. The house is very spacious with three bedrooms and two full baths. It is in a nice area that is not far from town, yet far enough away to be out of the main downtown. Communication with Ivy the owner was super easy. We will be back!

Family Vacation

We loved how quiet and peaceful Peach Lake was! There were very few other boats on the lake while we were there, so it felt like we had the lake to ourselves. We also appreciated all of the many extras provided with this rental, such as kayaks, a paddleboard, a lily pad, camping chairs, dock access, a garage, a laundry room, dishwasher, games, bedding, towels, and fans for each bedroom. The owner was VERY easy to work with, too.

This property was just as it was listed! If you want a quiet location and lake, this is the place! Beautiful sunsets! Cottage has everything you need! Only negative thing we can say is there are a lot of steps down to the cottage and then down to the lake!

Great time

The cottage was everything we expected from the listing on VRBO. The cottage is on a very quiet lake with respectful neighbors. The cottage was clean and didn’t need very much upkeep during our stay. Check in was simple and the book with information about check in, check out, and overall information about the area was very helpful. I would definitely recommend staying at the cottage and plan on booking another trip to stay there again.

My first visit to Michigan, which is also first visiting West Branch

Arrived at the property in the wee hours of the morning. Almost pitch black, I couldn’t find the lockbox. Thinking that the box was on the outside of the house, walked around for a hood twenty minutes before realizing that the box might be inside the house. That was keystone cop moment. This is not a negative review, but a learning experience for me. Next time, arrive when it’s daylight. Otherwise, it was a positive experience. The property was well maintained. The amenities were great . The view of the lake was breathtaking. My next visit will be when it’s warmer, because access to the lake was limited. All and all, five star review all the way

Lovely stay!

We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the hosts. Plentiful fans, well-appointed kitchen, well-stocked bathrooms, and beautiful views/lake! The home was pristine, cozy, and thoroughly enjoyed by our family. Our kids loved the kayaks! We felt right at home, and are looking forward to a return visit. 😁

Awesome stay!!

What a great spot on Peach Lake! Beautiful views! Very comfortable beds, plenty of blankets and pillows, comfy couches. Kitchen had tons of supplies to cook with and propane and firewood were there for using the grill, fire pit, and deck gas fire pit which was awesome. Everything was super clean! For the owner and those planning to stay here, here’s what I felt was missing, but a lot of places do not supply these, it’s just a preference of mine and if you are staying here you should plan on bringing your own, but it’d be great if the owner added these things: Beach towels Simple kitchen staples like sugar and flour so those on a week long trip don’t have to buy in bulk (there was salt, pepper and olive oil) Make sure previous guests actually put the kayaks back inside, they had been left outside and were too dirty for us to want to use (we left them where they were) Some outdoor lights for the decking would be great! In all honesty, none of these little things made a bit of difference to us and we had a phenomenal time at the lake house!!!!

The cottage was cozy and clean. The deck was a perfect spot to watch the incredible sunsets and have a fire. We enjoyed kayaking around the lake, fishing off the dock, playing on the lily pad, and walking around the neighborhood. The neighbors were super nice and our kids enjoyed playing together.

The most relaxing vacation I've ever had!

We have stayed at dozens of VRBO homes and this is one of the absolute best. Clean, spacious, well appointed and the view of the water cannot be beat. Owners provide excellent communication and fun extras like life jackets, kayaks, paddleboard, binoculars etc. to enhance your vacation. My husband and I had such a wonderful experience we hope to stay here again next summer with our adult children. It's worth returning to! Quiet. Peaceful. Perfect!
