Beautiful place
We had a wonderful time. The only negative thing was the beds were not that comfortable. Other than that it was clean, tons of stuff to play in lower level pool table, ping-pong, darts & smart tv's. We Would definitely stay here again. 😊

Beautiful property that’s right on a very peaceful lake. We will definitely be back! The only problems we had was getting access to the Internet. We were provided the wrong password and we’re trying to watch the lions on Thursday night!

Overall good stay
If you care about bugs inside the house, this isn’t the place for you. The windows, while closed, still allows bugs to enter the house. We vacuumed up some bugs, but they kept coming. Other than that, the place was good.
Kayaks were nice, though only four adult life vests. We purchased kid life vests at a Dunhams sporting goods store in Traverse City since the house didn’t have any for kids.
Swimming at the house was ok - though you sunk into the mud and the dock area was all lily pads. The beach on the other side of the small lake was better for swimming.
Nice stay but would look for another rental for next year’s vacation.

Great time, but……
Very nice inside and lakeside. Great accommodations, but a little rundown from the roadside. That view is the first impression. The porch and front deck boards need repair and in serious need of weeding.
During our stay the hot water heater died and we went 30 hours without. Repairs were made and the rental folks followed up, but received no compensation. In spite of that we would consider another stay.

Nice Getaway
Nice backyard with views of lake. Caught and released good sized fish from the lake. Mentioned in listing that there are stairs to get in the house (and Inside) and that is very accurate but was perfectly fine for our group. Bugs were outside but it’s by water and in between some trees so bring bug spray while enjoying the outdoors. The bugs loved the lights on the hot tub at night so they would swarm by it. Overall would recommend to anyone looking to get away and have some scenic and peaceful views of Michigan.

Great place to stay and relax
This home was adorable and was very accurate to the listing. It’s located in a quiet and secluded area. The nearby town has great local grocery store with a great range of food to prepare your meals for the stay. We used the hot tub much more than we expected because it was so nice and works well. The curb appeal and back yard could use a little attention to make the outside of the home match the inside of the home. But obviously that does not impact the stay.
Ar a previous review stated it is next to a boat ramp, but it’s a small lake and maybe had only 1-3 people use it a day. And we enjoyed being able to watch them all go in and out and chat with them about their catches for the day.
It is about a 35-40 minute drive to Traverse City but it’s beautiful scenery along the way.
