Summer Getaway

Overall a great stay! Host was very helpful and we spent a lot of time in the large recreation area. The only drawback was no A /C and it was hot during our stay. There are plenty of fans but bedrooms were still stuffy at night. Just something to be aware of if planning a summer stay.

Country house

Great place to get away from it all. Quick drive to a quaint little town located on the shore of a large lake. This home almost seems like a barn dominium style home with the attached garage. Plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy.

Perfection!

Location was great! Close to Lake City to go to diner for breakfast, pubs for drinks, food and live bands, and ice cream shop. Hot tub was amazing! Pool table was a good leisure activity. Host was very accommodating, responding to questions and requests. Went trail riding and had great experience with Greater North Power Sports. This weekend get away was so needed and appreciated! Would love to return with friends and/or family.

Valentine's weekend

This was such a cute cozy place to spend our Valentine's Day weekend. It was awesome to have a couch, pool table, air hockey and hot tub in the same hang out area! Definitely where we spent most of our time. Only thing I would recommend is updating the TVs to Smart TVs... It was a little difficult trying to figure out how to connect the Blu-ray to the internet to get on our Netflix. But we did figure it out eventually lol Other than that everything was absolutely perfect!! We'll definitely be returning

Great place

The house is clean spotless. We were 9 people for a long weekend and it felt quite spacious. The living/dining area is pretty big, plenty of seating space. The garage area is great for socializing late at night as you won't wake up anyone sleeping in the house even if you get loud. The property is pretty big, far enough from neighboring houses which allows you to hang out around the fire pit area without bothering neighbors. Kitchen is well equipped. I could tell all of the pots, pans, utensils were new. Internet was working great, I worked remotely one day and was able to access company's server, run scripts with no issues. Very close to a few lakes and towns, we did day trips to Cadillac, Higgins, Traverse...

Has Potential

This place was very cute in pictures and the big hang out room drew us in. The listing was a little misleading as it said the large couch is a great place for watching the game but there is no cable and the TV out there is not a smart TV that you can stream on either. The internet was unfortunately not working the whole time we were there so the TVs were useless. Still plenty to do but the hot tub was low on water and we ended up having to add some so the jets wouldn’t spray out of the tub. There were some definite cleaning issues but I feel bad going into more detail. I get the impression this friendly couple is new at this as there were no instructions for check in or check out. The women on the listing was very friendly when communicating. I hope they find their grove as I think this place does have a lot of potential.

Thank you for your response. We are hopeful that all internet issues are corrected with Brightspeed to avoid more issues and so streaming can be available consistently as it was when we first started. Please contact us on what was not up to standards so we can correct this with our cleaning service!

Deceptive pictures

We went into town for a funeral and needed a close place to stay. The owner communication was great. She told me she was leaving a key under the mat. From there it kind of went downhill. We got into town a little later and wanted to wind down. The wi-fi was out and that also meant the tv didn’t work. We checked in Wednesday night and it was out all day Thursday. There was no guarantee it would’ve been back on for my husband to telework on Friday, so we decided to leave. Our hotspot wasn’t cutting it. Although she did offer to bring us over a dvd player for some entertainment the next day. The house kind of smelled like an old cottage that had been kept closed. The sheets were rough, the beds were not comfortable, and the hot tub was scummy. We noticed when we were crawling into bed that our feet were extremely dirty from the wood floors. We talked to the owner about possibly getting our money back for 1 of the 3 nights since we only stayed for one night. The owner was not receptive to anything we said and made it seem like it was our fault the internet was out, and we should’ve known it would’ve been on the next day. Some softer sheets and a tv antenna would be a great contribution to this home.

Once again, I am sorry the internet went out in our area. We did offer a hotspot to you as well as a discount. Thank you for your feedback.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Rosted-Schutte

Host profile image
Growing up in Lake City made for a great childhood. This house was my Grandparents and I bought it once they passed. My children and I lived here for several years until I met my husband and he swept me off my feet to our new home. With this house being in our family for so long, instead of selling, I wanted to give others the opportunity to enjoy what I love so much.

Why they chose this property

Waking up to a family off deer bedding in the back yard, a fox playing in the tall grass, or a turtle walking to the next pond over is always an enjoyable and regular sight here.

What makes this property unique

We offer a bit of a different experience than a lot of vacation rentals in Lake City. We may not be right on the lake, but there is lots of room for outdoor activities. Our large heated gaming room is the perfect hangout spot all year long. Cozy up in the hot tub after a long day riding, fishing, boating, skiing or maybe wine tasting. Maybe you prefer to play some pool or cards while watching the game. Both is available along with much more.
