Beach access and amenities were top notch. It’s a close drive to Traverse City, Lake Michigan, Arcadia Bluffs and both Sleeping Bear and Silver Lake Dunes. I would definitely recommend this property for your next family vacation. ##### Duane C.

House facilities and available lake/swimming equipment was amazing. Wonderful quiet lake and great fishing! Meijer 10m away. Just a wonderful way to spend a week getting away from the world with family. ##### John H.

This home offered us a home away from home! There are endless amenities, the kitchen was great for our family meals. The game room was fun for evening game nights after s’mores by the fire. The location is ideal…15 min from Lake Michigan, 25 min from Arcadia Dunes and 15 min from Manistee River. Thank you for a memorable family vacation….we will be back!!! ##### Angela T.

The water sports equipment is excellent. We had fabulous weather, so little indoor time during the day, but entertainment is there for rainy days. Have never stayed at the same place twice but may have to make an exception! ##### Koreen L.

This property was perfect. Probably our best vrbo ever. Clean, nice, easy-to-understand information for televisions and fireplace. We skied Crystal two days and hung out at the house one day. We also hiked Acadia one day. Perfection! ##### Korey H. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine L. 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Overall we had a wonderful time at this property! There was plenty of room for 10 adults and a toddler, including an elderly family member with mobility issues who was able to stay on the main floor. One thing to note is that there were no toiletries at all, aside from hand soap and dish soap at the sinks, so you will need to stock the bathrooms/showers with your own. There were a couple of small upkeep issues (like slow sink drains and a bathtub stopper that did not work and the deck could use a good powerwash), but these did not hinder our ability to enjoy the property. The inside of the house was spotless and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. We LOVED the beach/dock/firepit area and the large upper deck where we could all eat and hang out together. The swimming platform was unfortunately unusable due to being completely covered in old goose poop, but we were able to play in the lake without using the raft, the kids were just a little bummed. Our college-aged kids loved the game room downstairs. Overall, great property and very clean. We would definitely stay again, but taking care of these minor issues would just enhance the experience for everyone! ##### Katherine L.

I don't have enough good things to say about this property. Absolutely incredible. It exceeded every expectation we had. It was clean and had every amenity we could desire. The lake was awesome the deck was awesome the game room was awesome. I wish i could give it more than 5 stars. We will definitely be back next year at the same location. ##### Isaac W.

The house is in pristine condition and many amenities were provided. Daily, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards , etc were enjoyed by grandkids and adults . Fishing was great for grandkids with campfires every evening on spacious patio. Wonderful week! ##### Deborah S.

Every single thing we could possibly need was not only there, but it was clearly and thoughtfully labeled. The house is comfortable and clean, the game room is ridiculous and the back yard landscape and waterfront is impressive. ##### Andy M.

The home was perfect for our family of 12\. Plenty of room for all of us. There was always something to do, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and when it rained one day lots to do inside, games, ping pong, air hockey, and more. We were even close enough to go into Manistee so the grandkids could swim in Lake Michigan. The home is easy to get to with great parking. All of the kids and grandkids give The Lake House 5-star excellent review. Nobody wanted to leave ##### Chris T.

The indoor and outdoor spaces were everything we needed. Both were equipped with the best—great sleeping areas, wonderful kitchen with all amenities, great outdoor seating and beach. The beach, the adult and kid kayaks and paddle boards, life jackets, and fishing poles kept all of us happy. We had a great time. (Thanks for the eagles that sat across the lake! You even had binoculars for us to watch them.) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rose Ann A. 4 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Family Getaway with an Attentive Host We had a wonderful stay at this lake house! The property had everything we needed for our large family of 14, including kids. The house was spacious, well-equipped, and the lake views were stunning. Our host was incredibly attentive and responsive. We encountered a minor issue with a bathroom shower leak, and they addressed it promptly, ensuring our stay was comfortable and stress-free. The house had all the amenities to keep everyone entertained, from the well-stocked kitchen to the ample outdoor water recreation gear. We truly felt at home. Highly recommended! ##### Rose Ann A.

This has been our favorite rental so far. There was ample room to be together for meals and activities and also room to independently savor the quiet beauty of Chief Lake. The available kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, paddle boat, life jackets and fishing poles combined with the quiet lake provided opportunities for everyone to safely have lots of fun during the day with evenings around the comfortable fire pit enjoyed too. We also appreciated its proximity to Sleeping Bear Dunes for hiking and Portage Lake for tubing. We hope to make many more happy memories there again in the future. ##### mary l.

Fabulous time with family- adults and kids! The house was beautiful, spacious, large bedrooms, and had all of the amenities you could need. Including for the lake - paddle boards, kayaks, canoe, etc. Fishing was great, everyone caught something. The downstairs has all the fun games from ping pong to air hockey, and arcade games, a teen heaven! Lake is big enough to tube and jet ski, but not a big lake. Close enough drive for short trips to Mainistee, or Arcadia, slightly longer to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Glen Arbor. Lots to do!! ##### Heather B.

On a rainy day, we found board games, puzzles, lady pacman, foosball, ping pong, air hockey and video games! and of course TV and wifi for the quiet moments. We found everything we needed in the kitchen plus a closet of different spices, they even have a blender. The housekeeping group is fabulous and it was very clean and well stocked with towels for inside and out. Can't say enough about how great this house is and the host responds almost immediately if needed. ##### Elaine C.
