Just bring your bathing suits and you’re all set. The kitchen was a bit tight, since 5 out of 7 of us like to cook! But we managed. Close to Lake Michigan for beautiful sunsets, nearby Riverside for canoeing out to the lake, and close to Traverse City and Frankfort for some shopping and good food. We all had a blast from ages 6-74! ##### Gary Z.

Everything was perfect - the location, accommodations and especially the beautiful lake with private dock and small sandy beach. We were all happily surprised how well stocked the house was. You only need to bring clothes and food. We used the row boat, kayaks and fishing gear. There was even a goody bag for us. Any time I reached out to owners I quickly got a response back. We had a small emergency before we left for our trip and the owners were so kind and understanding by accommodating our special request. The home was immaculate too. Do not hesitate to rent this place!! You will love it. ##### Carolyn B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel C. 12 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Serene Lake Retreat Our family stayed at Wha'Cha Dune the last week of August, 2024\. We found the property to be as-described in the VRBO listing. The property is well-treed, which provides a sense of privacy, and there is plenty of room between the house and the lake to allow for pretty much any outdoor activities one might enjoy. There is a nice dock from which to fish or swim, and some watercraft (3 kayaks, one rowboat) which, although obviously well-used, provide additional recreation opportunities. The large back deck overlooking the water is a nice place to relax and enjoy the view, and the fire pit near the shoreline is a great place for nighttime gatherings. The lake temperature is a bit cool but definitely refreshing for swimming. It is mostly sandy-bottom near shore but gets weedy out just past the dock. Fishing action was unfortunately slow during our stay, with only fingerling perch and an occasional goby taking the bait. The interior, though dated, was comfortable and all systems were in working order. Note to larger families who like to cook at home: The kitchen is quite small, with room for only one ‘chef’ at a time to work the stove or do prep work. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. ##### Daniel C.

We have been coming to Big Platte for over 30 years. The place was incredible and so well stocked. The owners were so responsive and nice. I could go on and on but just trust me when I say it was a wonderful vacation. ##### Chris S.

The layout, room sizes, furniture, kitchen and deck were perfect and easily accommodated our party of 6 adults. The grounds were spacious and the dock and lakefront access served our pontoon boat and wave runner very well. ##### Fred H.

Perfect location on the lake with all the necessary amenities. It is quite spacious and comfortable with something for everyone. The owners were terrific to work with and always responded quickly to any questions. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation time which ended all too soon. ##### christine g.

We loved the location as it felt private yet was near the places we like to visit when we go up north. The weather was perfect for enjoying outdoor activities during our stay but the home was well stocked with books, games and a large television (which we never turned on!!) for rainy days. We hope to visit again! ##### Mary B.
