This is a great place to stay. On a canal just off the lake which is great because you get all the benefits of lake access without all the noise off the water. The house has everything you need for your stay both indoors and outdoors.

The positive items were the location for us to Newaygo downtown and the golf course was great. It was a quiet location and the lake was pretty. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evening. Mike was very responsive. We had 3 couples staying and we each had one towel each and were short a few wash rags. We stayed 3 nights so an additional towel each would have been nice. We did cook while we were there and had only one dish towel so again an additional towel or two would have been convenient. I would suggest that adding blinds in the living room would be nice so guests could close them at night since there are other homes nearby. The TV was maybe a 30 inch so really small! The lake was nice but could be so nice if a dock was built or if the access into the water was cleaned up. The shower needs cleaned up or replaced due to the mold on the caulk. The house could use a deep clean as well. We have stayed at many vrbos and I felt this one was overpriced but if the owners were to put more effort into it it could be really nice.

Respite on the Lake

We had an amazing time at this little house on the lake. It easily held our family of 7, plus our sweet golden retriever. We all had so much fun kayaking around the lakes (pup included), lounging in the yard and relaxing in the house.

We enjoyed our stay. It was located across the street from family so location was great. Canal not great but used the lake. Should clean up weeds and exterior of house. Shower could use mold and mildew cleaner around bottom.

Was what we were looking for

House was clean, ready for us. Driveway is kind of annoying but the house was as advertised and what we needed. Owner communicated and made sure we were set.
