Val's home on North Lake is the best VRBO we've stayed at. The view over the lake is amazing, the house is gorgeous, and the beds are comfortable. What more can you ask for?
Had a great stay at this wonderful lake house! Plenty of room and toys for our kiddo (1.5 yrs old), comfy beds, and kitchen had anything/everything you need. Valerie was an excellent host -- very accommodating and communicative. Hope to stay again!
We chose the area to be near our daughter's wedding venue. The house was a perfect space to rest and recharge before and after the wedding. Wish we could have stayed longer! Hope to be back another time!

Hi Velinka, I hope the wedding went perfectly, sorry we did not have a chance to meet in person. I hope you come again sometime and we can meet then! Valerie
We love staying at this home when we come into town to see family. Location is great for trips into Ann Arbor but also love that we can come back and relax with a fire in the frieplace on a chilly evening, while the lower level is perfect for games and watching TV.
We can’t wait to come back!
Could not have been happier with our stay! Valerie was incredibly welcoming and communicative. She went above and beyond when we left a gift - she had it in the mail to me within hours! Home was as described and perfect for our family. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. Thank you, Valerie!
We had a great time at this charming and finely decorated and decked-out Lake House. Valerie was very helpful both before checkin and while we were there. We would definitely recommend and we hope to go back!
Great accommodations, excellent communication with property manager, quiet location convenient to Dexter, Chelsea and Pinckney, beautiful lake with good fishing and gorgeous sunsets. What more could you ask for?
We had an amazing time staying here. Valerie was attentive from booking, checking in, during our stay, and checking out. She is a wonderful host and person.
The house was everything we could have wanted. A great home and location on the lake.
We will be coming back to this special place and host.
What a beautiful, fun, and comfortable place! The house is beyond well equipped, the beds and furniture were all extremely comfortable. Loved the lake, beautiful view and we enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. Val was very communicative, even sharing with us local events in the area. We will definitely be back!
The house,Location and Property was Awesome and so was host. Very beautifully decorated and well equipped. Easy to get to Ann Arbor, Chelsea and Dexter. Go Horns🤘
We loved our stay at this gorgeous home! Thank you to Val for being such a top notch host with great communication. Having a bedroom and bathroom in the main floor was perfect for my parents who have trouble with stairs. Our two young girls loved all the toys, the chalkboard and really cute kids room. The views were stunning!
My family of 4 had a fabulous stay at this lakeside property. From the time of booking (a year ago) to actually staying in the rental, Valerie was the perfect host making sure my questions were answered in a very timely manner. The house is beautiful and on a beautiful quiet lake. We rented the pontoon boat which made our trip that much more wonderful. Nothing could beat a sunset ride on the lake. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent this property again.
We were just looking for a quiet getaway for some quality family time. This house was perfect. The decor was beautiful and so comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to make any meal. And the view on a snowy day was amazing. We loved our time there and will book again. Would love to stay in the summer and be able to use the decks and lake. Thank you!
We thoroughly enjoyed renting this well appointed 3BR home with all the amenities you could want. Loved kayaking, paddle-boarding, and tooling around North lake in the pontoon boat. Located less than a 1/2 hour drive from Ann Arbor yet it seemed as if we were way up north. The property is near multiple recreation areas and we enjoyed exploring the superb hiking trails and the nearby towns of Dexter and Chelsea. We even attended a world class premiere at The Purple Rose Theater! Great place to stay!!
We had such a spectacular stay at Valerie’s property! If you’re looking for a cozy, comfy, CLEAN home … in a charming neighborhood … with stunning views … this is the place!
Some of our favorites: the relaxing lake views from the spacious (well-stocked!) kitchen, 2 cozy gas fireplaces, an amazing deck w/ nice furniture, SUPER comfy king in the master; all the comforts of home.
Our son is at U-Mich, so we were in the area for a football game. Was so nice to escape all the craziness afterwards / come back to this cottage by the lake! We’ll be back for basketball season 😉

Graduation weekend is a crazy time. I am so glad we found this perfect lake house an easy 30-40 minutes from Ann Arbor. The house is perfect for family of 6, plus space for friends/family to gather for special occasion.
Parking a little limited, but ok if you plan ahead.
Best of all - well equipped kitchen for those who like to do a little cooking and baking.
Also, the home was nice immaculate and plenty of towels and bedding, cozy blankets for rainy days.
Absolutely love it!!

Perfection!!!
We rented Valerie's beautiful lake home for our son's graduation from the University of Michigan. It was everything I had hoped for and so much more. The lake is exquisite! The decks peaceful, and the home lovely. Valerie's designer touch is everywhere! Thank you Valerie for sharing your wonderful lake home with us and for being available 24/7. The kayaks were also a big hit-especially when finding the swan's nest!

Amazing lakefront home!
My family and I took a 2 week vacation traveling several states and renting Valerie's home for the last week was absolutely perfect to end our trip! The home was beautiful and the sunsets were gorgeous! The home and location had everything available that we needed for our stay and Valerie was very quick to respond and accommodating to our needs. We went visit towns close by - Dexter, Chelsea, and Ann Arbor and got to enjoy the festival and live music. The kids really enjoyed swimming in the lake and we went kayaking almost everyday. We would watch the sunset together on the back porch every evening and then go the theatre room at night and watch movies. I loved the peacefulness of the Lakehouse and hiking at the nearby Pickney State park. The people in town and the neighbors were very friendly. We look forward to enjoying many more vacations here. I definitely highly recommend renting this home for the perfect retreat! We have created precious memories forever as a family that is priceless. Thank you so much for everything Valerie and for sharing your beautiful home to us!

It was such a pleasure to host you and your family. I'm so glad you enjoyed our community, outdoors and especially the lake. I look forward to seeing you on a return visit! Valerie
We enjoyed a perfect week at this lovely home. The kitchen was well equipped for our Thanksgiving meal prep. A cozy blanket was always in reach. The view of the lake was so peaceful. Valerie was so flexible and helpful with our stay. We hope to go back and visit again!
This is an exquisite property. Beautifully decorated and with everything you and your family would need. Valerie is an excellent host. The home is situated on the lake so that you can enjoy a spectacular morning view with coffee and then admire the stars at night. Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Valerie Paladino
Interior design, bargin shopping, travel, and fine wine are my passions. My business is staging homes and preparing them to sell. I offer a wide range of services including furnishing models and rental properties.
Why they chose this property
I grew up next door (and in the lake) and love this area, my neighbors, and community. Can't imagine being anywhere else. I live close by and enjoy meeting my guests, some have become friends.
