  • The house is roomy, beautiful, and located on a "no wake" cove of the lake, which is ideal for swimming. The children could swim across the cove to the park. We truly enjoyed the canoe, peddle boat, and tubing. The LARGE upstairs room was great for nightly family talent shows, dance recitals, and comedy contests. We will be back!

  • Excerpts of email from our guest Misty H. from Bloomfield, IN Hey Julie, Just wanted to say thanks again for a wonderful week for our family. It was just what we all needed and I think we are all still on our own little highs from a week together. We are slowly but surely getting back to reality here, but I didn't want to forget to write you again and thank you. Thanks so much, the week truly meant the world to us. Let me know if I need to finish anything up or if it's so long for now, or at least until next time!! Misty H

  • Excerpts from email of our guest Astrid K. from Austria when asked "List 3 things you like and 3 that needed improvement". We all really, really enjoyed the stay in your house. It was perfect for us. 3 things we liked: - all rooms are really spacious and nice (especially the kitchen and the big room on the second floor) and there were lots of rooms for us so that we never had the feeling it is too crowded there (bathrooms, ...) - there was so much equipment (BBQ grill, paddle boat, garden, internet, .....) - the location of the house (the seaview was fantastic) we also liked the welcome basket and the description of the house. we liked all there. the whole house was clean. eveything was perfect for us. 3 things we didn't liked: there are no things we didn't liked

  • This past January my friends and I decided to travel up to Michigan to do some ice fishing. We have never been to this part of Michigan before, but after some research, we found the private/stocked lake; Lake Columbia. There were 10 of us, so we needed a place big enough that we could all sleep comfortably. We found this house on the website, and decided this house would be perfect. We were all very impressed with this house. It had everything we needed and so much more! From the gas fireplace to extra-large luxury gas-grill to the breath-taking views from the multi-leveled deck, this house has so much character and made us feel right at home. After this trip, we have decided to make this an annual event at this house, and we are planning on coming back in the summer to take advantage of this luxurious lakefront property. I definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in vacationing in Michigan to try out this house, you will not be disappointed. Sincerely, Matt "Very Satisfied Customer" Hill

  • I was able to stay in this house in mid December 2007. First of all the house is beautiful with plenty of room. It was winter, the house was so warm and comfortable we didn’t feel the need to go outside. The wonderful fire place kept us nice and cozy and the jet bath tub was a big plus. We also used the outside decks for hot chocolate in the evening. The view of the lake covered in snow was amazing. Plus all the stores we could have needed were close by. I became engaged in this house so one of my favorite memories in life was made there. It would be great for a large family or a romantic getaway for two
