  This place was spectacular! The massage chairs were fantastic, the dining/kitchen/living area were nice and open and the kids had a great time running around. Wi-fi and Directv made staying connected and watching MSU football very easy. The kitchen was well-furnished with all of our cooking needs met. 2 refigerators and a washer and dryer was perfect! Outside was very peaceful, and the neighbors to the west of the house were so friendly, they shared some fresh-caught salmon with us! The steps to the beach (there are 40 of them), made for a challenge when carrying all of things back up at the end of the week. But, the beach itself is very sandy with a great firepit. The kids loved the diving dock with the slide! I only wish renting a watercraft was a bit less of an expense, but totally understand that maintaining them is an expense to the owner. All in all, it was a great vacation made even better by our wonderful accomodations. We'll see you next year!

  We had 15 women come up to this lovely home for a 3 day retreat. It was perfect. The house was lovely and so very welcoming. The dining room/living room combination made plenty of space. It was lovely out and all of us enjoyed sitting around the fire in the evening and the sun in the day. The beds were very comfortable. The owners went out of their way to make sure that all of our questions were answered and everything prepared for us. It was great.

  What a great time our group of 17 had at Lake Missaukee...in the winter! We arrived to a beautiful, frozen lake, on which our kids took great pleasure in exploring. We had hoped to snowmobile during our stay, but alas, there wasn't enough snow. The owner had provided us with the name of a company that rented snowmobiles as there are more than 200 miles of trails nearby! Instead, we spent a few hours each day at a nearby sledding hill, and the rest of our time was spent playing games, keeping toasty by the indoor fire, and just enjoying each other's company. The older kids in our group loved hanging in the gameroom with the massage chairs, while the younger kids found plenty do to without the aid of electronic devices. The lack of snow did not detract from a fantastic getaway at all! The home is lovely with plenty of space for multiple families, including two huge tables in the dining area allowing us to sit down together as a group. We'd love to go back and would highly recommend it to other families seeking a winter getaway!

  Our group consisted of three families with young children...... this home was the perfect setting for all of us to comfortably enjoy time together, but there was also plenty of space to meet everyone's needs, including our youngsters who nap. The home itself is very inviting and feels like home with so many wonderful amenities; especially the plush mattresses. The property itself is large, with plenty of room for soccer and baseball games and option of campfire by the home or down by the beach. The sandy, large beach area was down a flight of stairs, which provided us peace of mind with young kiddos. We thoroughly enjoyed the warm clean water, which was shallow for a great distance. We also enjoyed biking in the surrounding area, which we all really enjoyed. Thank you for your gracious hospitality; we truly loved our stay!

  We rented this house for a long weekend and could not ask for anything more. The house had everything, we had 18 people satying there and there was still more then enough room. The backyard was great lots of room for activities and could not beat the view off the bluff of the lake. Would highly recommend this house. -Mike

  We had a wonderful time vacationing here. The house was beautifully done and had everything we needed. We had 11 adults and 8 children aged 18 mo to 7 years old and we had plenty of room. We loved it so much we booked for next year!

  We rented this house for a week long family reunion. Ten adults and six children. From the minute we arrived we were pleasantly surprised with all of the work that has been put into the property since our rental agreement. The house was immaculate, tastefully decorated and there was plenty of space for our large gathering. The owners had thought of almost every amenity needed for such a large group - especially extra seeting on the patio, two coffee pots, plenty of dining space, etc. The property was great and there was more than enough room for the kids to run around and play. The eight bedrooms were very spacious and the three and a half baths were great considering the number of people we had. The lake was great - very sandy bottom and shallow, excellent for swimming and many fish were caught right by the drop off. The owners are very friendly and accomodating and it were very approachable regarding questions and concerns. Cadillac is just a quick drive away where thre were numerous options for grocery stores and restaraunts. Our group visited some of the local golf courses and parks for the kids and were very pleased with our stay. We will definitely be going back again and would recommend this vacation rental to anyone looking for a peaceful family getaway.
