Very clean and roomy. Love the table space for dinners and games. Would recommend and stay again. Only suggestion is to upgrade beds for comfort.
Rain. Then 60 degrees. Wind. Then snow and Ice. Michigan! Got to see the pretty lake through it all.

Love the lake life!

Beautiful home with beautiful views of the lake. We were here for our daughter's wedding which was at the in-law’s property on the lake. The location of house was perfect for us. We wished our stay was longer, but we did manage to get out on the lake one day. Being from Florida, it was nice to be in fresh water and not have to worry about gators lol.

Wedding weekend

Our family stayed together in this lovely home right on the lake. We truly enjoyed every minute of the views & family time. Our family fished every day, we grilled out, drank our morning coffee outside & found it a little hard to leave. The home was mostly clean but there are a few items that need more attention. The coffee maker water tank needs to be replaced or deeply cleaned. We would not use it so we had to go out & buy coffee every morning. The kitchen garbage can was extremely dirty. We bought a bleach spray cleaner & had to scrub the top portion as best we could. It should actually be replaced. The bathroom rugs on the lower level smelled so bad that we put them outside to hang over the deck by the stairs. The toilets could be scrubbed better. They are stained & look dirty. I’m sorry to mention all this, but my hope is for improvement for future guests. Thank you.
