Wonderful

We enjoyed our stay So much. The house had everything we needed, from the kitchen to the bathroom, bedrooms and garage! My kids ages 9-15 and my elderly parents, we all enjoyed a relaxing vacation. We had the waterfront to ourselves and enjoyed exploring the rocky shores. We immediately felt right at home. Thank you Lois for sharing it with us. Of all the places we have ever stayed- this is my favorite.

Quiet, remote and amazing!

If you are looking for a quiet, low key vacation spot, this is for you! The house had everything we needed. It was huge with enough space for everyone to stretch out. The beach access was easy to walk down and it was relaxing to just listen to the water. We saw bunnies in yard and hummingbirds at the feeder! She has fun outdoor games in the garage that are perfect for quiet evenings. Check out the local coffee shops and restaurants. The locals are very friendly! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

The house and property were lovely. Gorgeous sunrises! The kitchen/living room/dining area were perfect for our small group — so much counter space! Beds were mostly all comfy, house was clean and had pretty much everything we needed. It was quite musty when we first got in, but we were able to air it out after a while. My only complaint is that the beach was murky and a little stinky so we ended up going to another nearby beach. The listing did not say swimming, so no blame there! I guess I just assumed. Overall, we enjoyed it!

Love it here!

As always, we had a very nice stay, although our week turned into 2 1/2 days as our little dog tore her acl. This place is a gem.. I hope that it always stays wild and free. We intend on returning seasonally as long as Lois shares her lovely place with the rest of us.

Great getaway on the beach!

Loved the place and all of the space on Lake Huron - a great way to celebrate in the new year with some friends :) (FYI if you are traveling with other adults, note that there are plenty of places to sleep but really only two bedrooms. The owner does a great job of separating the beds in the upstairs to more private areas but it's all one big room!).

impressive

A great place to spend a quiet relaxing vacation. We saw deer, rabbits, ground hogs and foxes right out on the lawn. The foxes kept us entertained almost every day. Everything was just wonderful! I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
