Large, private, upscale home on small, quiet lake within the Canadian Lakes Resort.
Located in the heart of michigan's Amish countryside, this home is surrounded by quiet wooded areas and abundant wildlife (watch for deer as you're driving!). Wild turkeys may stroll down the road each day and loons may visit in the evenings. Looking for someplace where you're always in the midst of noise and activity? This is not the place for you! However, if you're looking for a tranquil get away, where your children can kayak and fish safely without fear of power boats, and where you can easily visit the more active, bustling water areas and then return to peace and quiet - this is that place!
******** We take credit cards! Especially convenient for your refundable security deposit!

This home is gorgeous inside and accommodated our family perfectly. My husband and I took the main floor bedroom and my daughter's family had the downstairs (which is gorgeous) and our son's family had the upstairs, giving everyone their own space. Very quiet property. Everyone enjoyed the deer, wild turkeys and birds. Loved the bikes that went with the home along with the paddle and row boat. the price is right for a very peaceful vacation.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the lake house (mosquitos excepted). I could not believe the amount of wild turkey - they were pretty much everywhere. Kylie almost hit one while riding a bike - had to laugh at that one. All of the information left at the house was very helpful.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My family (spouse and two young children 1 and 5 yrs old) rented this home for a week and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The home is beautiful, the lake is peaceful, the community is great, and the owners were a pleasure to deal with. We enjoyed boating, fishing, biking, swimming (the lake is not very swim worthy past the first few feet of shore, but fun to boat on, and the kids enjoyed plenty of swimming in the well kept pool down the street from the house) and smores by the campfire at night. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a low key fun getaway.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers.
