Cozy home in Walloon

We stayed here as a family of four for 4 nights and enjoyed it very much. The home is not located directly on the water, but is a short 0.5 mile walk to the village, including Tommy’s boat rental, Barrel Back, and the general store. The house is comfortable, nothing fancy, but feels as if you’re staying with family or friends in their home. Thank you for letting us stay!

A Walloon Retreat

Woodsy and comfortable older home. Convenient to Walloon Lake Village ( 10 minute brisk walk) and within site of the lake. All amenities as advertised but coffee maker needs replacement. A quiet get-a-way.

Family wedding stay

We came to Walloon for my daughters wedding and stayed the week. It was a great house for our family. The deck was a great gathering space, we enjoyed the fire pit, walking the path, the quaint stores at the foot. Went paddle boarding and played pickle ball at the park. House was very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. The 3 full bathrooms made it easy to get ready and after the Beach. Host always replied to my questions promptly. Thank you.

Great location and very well equipped

The home is very well maintained and equipped with everything we might need. The beds were comfortable. The living gathering spaces were many and gave us room for conversations and sharing.
