Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 8 had a marvelous time in this magical setting. Our adult kids rated this vacation a 10/10\. The rental was clean, spacious and beautifully appointed. As the Mom, what I also appreciated was having a variety of spaces for gathering and quiet reading time . . . plenty of spaces in our togetherness. The large kitchen accommodated multiple people beautifully. More than anything we loved the sandy beach, swimming by the dock, time gathered around the table on the deck and the campfire. With enough comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms for all, this venue worked great for our group! We would love to book it again for next year. ##### bruce f.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The interior of the home was clean, but the outside is cluttered with items and the sun deck is in poor condition. The grounds had not been cleaned for what looked like a long time and spider webs were all over. The home is outfitted with an assortment of mis-fit, damaged and left-over cottage items. The kitchen lacks adequate pots and pans, a toaster, sharp knives, and is a collection of garage-sale items. The freezer overflowed and did not make ice (management addressed), and the bedrooms rooms lack blinds or curtains. Based on the pictures, I expected a high-quality home which this is not.This has a nice beach with a raft which is great for swimming, but it is just a big cottage that sleeps a lot of people. The beds, linens and towels were fine, but this is an old cottage with left over furniture and not a high-end rental that I expected from the price. ##### John K.

Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the size and set up of this rental for our large family vacation. Plenty of room and sleeping accommodations for our group of 11\. Liked the cabin vibes and beautiful setting on calmer South Arm of the lake with terrific private beach and sunset views. Had a maintenance issue but property management resolved promptly. We brought a boat and it was difficult to dock on this pier. Very shallow around pier and no cleats to tie up. There is a lift, but very old, small. Also had to spend some time cleaning outdoor furniture on the deck and chairs near beach before we could use. Overall we had a great week. ##### Angela B.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We truly enjoyed our experience in Northern Michigan at this lovely home. The layout was perfect for our family of 8\. We especially enjoyed spending time together in the large main area with open concept kitchen and living room areas and very comfy furniture as well as enjoying the view from the deck and dock. The sandy beach and shallow sandy entrance to the lake made the lake very fun to swim in. Water temperature quite warm in the low 70's. We enjoyed docking a boat on the property and renting kayaks and paddle boards from a local company. The property was very clean and the managers were responsive and prompt. The kitchen could have been stocked better for cooking: no real decent knives, limited pot holders and kitchen towels; limited spatulas and other kitchen utensils; poor quality pots/pans but we were able to be creative and enjoy some decent meals cooked at home. Also poor water pressure made taking showers in more than one bathroom at the same time a challenge but we worked it out. We didn't feel safe using the grill on the back deck because when we turned on the gas line to the grill at the gas tank, we smelled gas and we were concerned there may be a leak in the line extending from the tank to the grill. But this was not a deal breaker for us. ##### patricia w.
