We loved our stay! The house is so fun and has a ton of space for everyone. Plenty of extra towels, linens and other things if you have a bigger group. The beach that’s accessible from the house is pretty small and was full of piles of leaves when we went but that could be a seasonal thing. There’s other great spots close by. We’d totally stay again and are so thankful for it!

We loved hosting your group. We are so glad the kids were able to kayak, float, and enjoy the lake. Summer at the cabin and surrounding Lake George area is always enjoyable.

We had a wonderful time. Grass could have been cut and the cleaning fee was way overpriced. We had to clean a bathroom shower before we used it.I was happy though with the communications with the owners.

Challenging for Seniors

BBQ out of propane!!Long grass around bond fireAnt hills everywhere on concrete outsideWe assumed it was handicap friendly, due to handicap bar by one toilet.Wished the description stated which floor the bedrooms were on. The pics a bit misleading.Was our family first VRBO experience. Own our expectations may have been too high.
Red circling where bottom two steps need pushed in to walk to bathrooms
Stayed 4 nights in May 2025
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 17, 2025
Guests are encouraged to read entire description and ask questions prior to booking. Guest was unable to operate the propane grill, even though previous guest had zero issues. The grass was at an acceptable height, per pictures submitted by lawn care professional. The listing does not state handicap accessible. Bedrooms are listed by floor.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Ewald

Host profile image
Four years renting via Vrbo, but I have been renting properties for the last 10 years. I enjoy creating beautiful houses for my guests to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

I feel in love with the area and close access to Lake George. The house offers tons of space for guests to hang and cook. It's a beautiful quiet get away.

What makes this property unique

Lake George is only 10 mins off Highway 127. 30 mins North takes you to Houghton Lake and 30 minutes South takes you to Mount Pleasant. We are between Clare and Harrison if you don't feel like cooking and want to grab a meal out. There are 3 Grocery stores in Harrison (Family Fare, Save A Lot and Steve's meat market)
