Great vacation spot

The lakefront home had a great view and easy access to the lake for boating and kayaking. The large yard and screened in porch were wonderful. The home was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Kelly was a great host and made sure our experience was the best it could be. We would definitely return for a future stay.

Other than the busy road behind this property, it is a great location. Our favorite part of the property is the two-story screened-in room at the front of the property. We spent the majority of our time there, eating our meals, playing games, and just relaxing with a beautiful view of the lake. The host is very responsive and available for any needs.

Great place for a family getaway!

This was our second time staying here and everything was just as great as the first time!We enjoyed the kayaks provided, and having a dock for our boat was super convenient. The porch is a beautiful spot for relaxing and playing games at night after a day on the lake. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils as well as salt, pepper, etc.Kelly is a great host and was easy to communicate with. We will be back!

This was a great experience! We had spoken with the owner a couple of times updating them on changes to number of guests, adding a pet, early arrival. The owner was pleasant and courteous and accommodated us each time. The home is not recently built, but it was clean, very comfortable, and the two-story screened in porch made for a natural lounging area even during strong rain. Of course, sitting on the dock, or the provided lily pad on the water were irresistible when the weather cooperated. The beds and bedding were comfortable, and beckoned us at the end of our long day. The kitchen is a galley type, but there's a counter for three, and was easy for several of us to prepare multiple dishes for a family celebration. Appliances all worked well, and the kitchen even had spices, ground coffee, etc. If you want a lake view, lake property (approximately thirty feet from the screen porch), thirty minutes from Lake Michigan state and National properties that is cost effective for your large group, this is it!
