Fantastic spot! Three very clean rooms. One with own bathroom in almost separate part of the house makes for the ability to really be private if needed for sleeping children, etc. Will try and stay again!
We absolutely loved our stay at this property! There were 5 adults & we were all comfortable during our stay. The place was clean & well prepared for our arrival. The back porch was great to sit & relax. We were able to fish right off the dock as well. Overall a great stay & we will definitely be back!
We love this location, lake life without the Lake Michigan crowds and traffic. The laid back environment feeds relaxation and refreshing family time. The check in process has always been easy here and Lisa our host is absolutely outstanding. The kitchen is well stocked and large enough for the preparing of large family dinners. We prefer to eat at our beach home here. Kayaking and fishing is fun here as well. We plan return next year
This is a nice lake house with a great lakefront location on Round Lake. Very responsive owner. 4/5 stars because there are some things that need to be improved to make it a 5 star rental.

From the owner: "Hi Melissa, thank you for your review. I am glad that you enjoyed your stay and strive to ensure every guest is happy and comfortable. It would have been helpful to know specifically what you would have suggested so that I can make changes for future guests. I always want to make sure everyone has a positive and fun stay."
If you are looking for a luxury lake house experience, this is it!. Round Lake was perfect for pulling the kids on tubes. There are several boat rental services, but book well in advance. There is a nice lakeside firepit. Across the lake are two restaurants. A visit to the Driftwood Summer Shop ice cream parlor/coffee house is a must!
This is a fantastic house on the water. It’s a ranch with minimal steps to get inside or down onto the pier. The view is amazing with gorgeous sunsets. The owner is very responsive and kind. She left waters, snacks and microwave popcorn for us. The house was clean and there were salon level shampoos and conditioners in each bathroom. The kitchen has all the pots/pans and utensils needed for a family to cook at home. This beautiful home was a great way to spend a week on the lake!

Thank you so much Walter, so happy that you enjoyed your stay. Hope to have you and your family again next year.
My family has been coming up to the sisters lakes area for the last 40 years and this was one of the best properties that we’ve stayed at. Most rentals in the area are a little dingy, this cottage was very clean and simplistic. While we brought everything we needed, it was nice to see most of what we brought was provided. It’s a wonderful space with a great deck and yard for the kids to play and make s’mores. There was a nice dock with little to no seaweed that the kids could jump off of and swim. Fishing was great. My family had a wonderful time, we will be back.
At first someone might think you need to be near the Great Lakes to have a true Michigan experience. Not true, the Sister Lakes region is amazing.
This home is on the water’s edge of Round Lake. There is a nice dock with plenty of space for fishing and swimming. The home is well equipped and comfortable. The kitchen was great with a nice view or the lake. Plenty of common space for family activities. It was clean and well stocked. The host was fantastic in support and follow up. We highly recommend.
