Very spacious home right on the lake. We enjoyed our time there, but had to leave a few days early because of a family emergwncy.

Amazing home and location!
The pictures of the house don't do it justice. It's better than the photos show. There's TONS of room. We stayed here for a week with our extended family. We had 10 adults and 8 children (6mths -12yrs). We spent the days on the beach exploring the rocks, kayaking the water, and enjoying the decks. The evenings were spent sitting around a fire and playing in the game room. There was enough room for us all to share meals in the kitchen and cook without ever feeling crowded. We were able to put the little kids to bed upstairs and still stay awake downstairs without bothering them. There is enough seating for everyone. The upstairs loft area with the pull out couches is massive. The kitchen has everything you could need when it comes to cooking. The cleaning closet was stocked with everything we needed (even though we brought all our own). There wasn't a pack n play or high chair (but we brough our own so this wasn't an issue). A quick drive down to Harrisville for ice cream, playground, and live music was nice. The nearby dinosaur park was a huge hit with the kids. Alpena was a 30 min drive away for a mid week Meijer trip. There was plenty of extra blankets to use for throw blankets while we sat on the deck in the evening. I wish I could attach photos because it seriously was the best house/location. This house had it all and has TONS of space for large groups to have their own space and still spend time together. We all agreed we would definitely be back. Love this space!

Great house and great location
This house turned out to be exactly as advertised. Loved the porches and the views of the water. Lots of living space and an excellent kitchen. We were also surprised at the number of good places to eat that weren't too far away. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location, spacious house
Location cannot be beaten - the lake is right there and even though the shoreline is rocky, we really enjoyed the water. We all got water shoes before arriving and that was enough to allow kids and adults to enjoy the water. We also used the paddle boat and floats - appreciated that we didn't have to bring our own! The house was spacious! The upstairs living room was such a bonus with young kids as we could really spread out. Great communication with the property manager and owner. As others have shared, it's clear some of the neighbors don't like renters but as long as you follow the rules, drive slow, and mind your own business, you should be fine. The kitchen could use some larger bowls and a cookie sheet, but nothing that kept us from enjoying the house.

Beautiful Views
We had so much fun. The house is beautiful and the view everyday is breathtaking. Owner was easy to reach and everything with checking in was smooth. Lots to do with rock hunting and using all the games in the garage. Just keep in mind the water is all rocks but a beach is close by.

A great place to come together
A beautiful site, lakeside with the rising sun. The furnishings and appliances were just fine. Four related families with pleasant accommodations. Lots of room. Although the beach, like most of Lake Huron, is rock covered that is where the children spent most of their time in various kayaks and floats. A state park is a short drive for those needing sand. The game room was popular and provided a separate place for friendly, family competition. We had a wonderful time!

Great view!! Overall a good stay
Pros: Overall we enjoyed our stay at the house. The view and proximity to the water is absolutely outstanding. We made good use out of the kayaks and spent a lot of time rock hunting, cooked many meals in the large kitchen and had dinner together and played games at the dining table every evening. The bedrooms are all large and the beds were comfortable. The area was fantastic for birding and the neighbors were all friendly. The owner was responsive to messages. The fire pit on the beach made for scenic marshmallow roasting and late night stargazing. Cons (and FYIs): The internet connection is pretty bad (for anyone that might need to do remote work while at the house). The house didn’t appear to be truly deep cleaned and the game room was definitely not cleaned since the last people stayed there. Some of the amenities we were expecting in the game room were lacking. For instance, half of the bean bags for corn hole had holes in them, and the basketballs were mostly deflated. But still a lot of other toys to get into! There is also no longer a second fire pit by the game room. The biting flies were bad a couple days we were there. That’s the reality of this part of northern Michigan tho! Just be advised. The water pressure is pretty bad, and the water very much tastes like well water so bring your own bottles if that’s not your cup of tea. We also weren't able to use the soaking tub bc the seal wasn’t airtight and allowed the water to drain before it would fill. Note that the nearby “town” of black river doesn’t really exist. Harrisville does have a few small stores. So bring most everything you’ll need with you to the house. Overall: The house is big for large families, and has the MOST beautiful view of the lake, but for the price I was expecting a bit more attention to detail. But I’d consider renting here again especially if the owner addressed some of the concerns above.

The house is gorgeous. Very spacious. Fully stocked kitchen and spices. The decks are large and the beach location is perfect. It’s extremely rocky so not ideal for sunning and swimming, but perfect for searching for Petoskey stones, having a bonfire, and enjoying a book while listening to the waves hit the shore. This is our annual girls weekend. We go somewhere new each year and this house, by far, was the nicest. Large spaces for us to talk and play games each evening. We had a great time and made memories that will last a lifetime.

Family lakeside vacation
Beautiful setting and plenty of living space in the home. The whole family was able to enjoy all of the outside toys - kayaks, paddle boat, pool table, foosball, ping pong, corn hole games. We had a campfire every night ! Lots of memories made here!

Overall it went well
House is nicely sized for larger groups, the pole barn was a huge plus for our trip. It rained a few days on us. If you can get past the neighbors flexing their year round “resident muscle” and don’t mind a very rocky beach.. you’ll have a good time
