Location was perfect. Private, on the beach. Plenty of room to roam, inside and out. The laundry was clean but piled high unfolded in the laundry room. Some construction ongoing. That stuff is minor and I would recommend this place to anyone. Great golf nearby at Lakewood Shores.
Our large family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lake house on Lake Huron. We had perfect weather to enjoy the sandy beach, and the house worked great for our large extended family.

Thanks for your nice comments and continued patronage! It's guest like your family that make renting gratifying.
Best, Jim
We have a large family with 10 adults and 12 grand kids. This place was ideal with all the space! And right on Lake Huron. We did not have ideal weather but the kids swam anyway! The only time we left the house was for grocery store runs! A wonderful vacation for all of us.

Thank you for the nice comments. We would love to have you return.
The house is great and very roomy for a large group. The beach is wonderful. The house does seem like it needs some improvements but overall a nice stay

Thanks for your review. We agree that there are still upgrades needed for the house. Since buying in December 2020, we have replaced all matresses in the bedrooms, replaced the dishwasher and main refrigerator in the kitchen, added a second refrigerator on the main level and a dorm refrigerator on the second level. Our plan this winter is to renovate the bathrooms on the main level.
We're sorry the kitchen sink had a leak issue during your stay and we have replaced the faucet to address this.
This was a great place to get-away with our friend group that included adults, teens, and kids. The private access to beautiful Lake Huron was amazing! We'll be back!

Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed and look forward to hosting you again!
This house was even prettier than pictured! This spacious house was great for our family vacation. We relaxed, swam, and had a great time. We will definitely come back again!
This is second time we have stayed here and is perfect for our family. Love the beach and grass area to play. We will be back next year already have reservations. Thanks so much.
We had beautiful weather all week, great meals home-cooked and at various restaurants, a few shopping excursions, and a beautiful place to just sit back and enjoy!

We had a great time in a beautiful home. We did a variety of activities, both inside and outside. Also visits into Tawas were great. Super location, sand, and Lake Huron. We have already made reservations for a return.
Initial communication difficult due to changing host. Should have been cleaner Opened coach beds to find piles of a.

Ron, there was no difficulty in communication. You are confused, our Property manager changed, the owners (us) has not changed and we are the host. We returned your phone calls and you spent almost an hour on the phone with our Property Manager and he complained to us (the owners). Your review ends without completing what you found? You did not call anyone that you found a pile of? That is disrespectful. Please do not make another reservation at our property and please learn about basic courtesy in Short Term Rentals.
Plenty of room for all 12 of us adults and my 1 year old Granddaughter. The house was one of the cleanest I've stayed in and so many things to do. Extremely stocked kitchen and no fighting over bathrooms with 4 to share. We were all so happy that we are going to book again for sure. Not to mention the sunrise view on Lake Huron right out of the door was amazing!

Thank you for the nice review and we hope you can visit again!
The property was clean and spacious. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials such as utensils, pots and pans, and other. The beach is right behind the house and easy to access. There were plenty of towels to use. The beds were all made and clean. We loved the property overall and would definitely visit again.

Great to hear you enjoyed your stay. Would love to host you again.
Our family had a great time enjoying the sandy beach on Lake Huron. The house is a great size for our extended family of 14, with a large dining space where we could all eat together. The kids loved the beach, kayaks, and paddle board. The house is clean and has had some really nice upgrades over the past year. The host is easy to communicate with and always responds in a timely manner. We will definitely be going back.

Terry, it's a treat to host your group and we really appreciate your thoughtful input. Thanks and we look forward to hosting you again!
We enjoyed our stay very much. We have a large family with 10 adults and 7 children. Several spots to gather giving everyone an opportunity to relax in their own space. Plenty of room indoors for all. Large sandy beach. Pictures don’t do it justice. We will be back.

Thanks for your nice words and glad you enjoyed yourselves. You're right on the beach pictures, we've had a lot of sand come in since those were taken, we'll upload new pics.
Would love to have you again as a guest!
This is an exquisite place. The beach is pristine - fine white sand and lots of privacy. The house is so comfortable. The kitchen is really well-stocked, and the two of the living rooms face the lake for watching the sun rise. We loved sitting on the deck and admiring the rose garden and Lake Huron. The owner responded very quickly when we needed a few little things. All in all, it is a splendid location. My family is already clamoring to schedule the place for next summer.

So happy you enjoyed yourselves and appreciate your comments about the hiccups you encountered and we were able to address.
Would love to host your family again!
Our large extended family really enjoyed our stay here. We were fortunate to have nice weather and the kids loved the sandy beach, water, kayaks, and the campfires. Really everyone enjoyed their time and the property really made it easy for a large group of 11 adults and 4 kids to have a great time. The bedrooms we a great configuration for us. We had room for meals inside or outside. The "Solo" fire pit on the deck was really nice to have an accessible location to gather around at night. The location is great and the family is already asking if they can come back next year.

About the host
Hosted by Jim Kizer
I have been coming to this area since 1964 when my parents first brought our family to visit. They built a cottage in 1966 that is 8 houses south of our property. I have spent time here each summer and some winters since. It's my favorite place on earth.
Why they chose this property
When we first started to look for our own property, we had very few requirements in mind; at least 3 bedrooms, privacy from the highway and a sandy beach (no barrier walls for us). It just so happened that we found everything we wanted very close to my family cottage.
What makes this property unique
Our property has a private drive off the highway that's heavily wooded that creates a private and serene setting (except during a nor'easter). Plenty of onsite parking. Our beach is ours, you'll only see nearby residents and a few walkers. There's spacious outdoor deck for lounging and dining, a fire ring with wood supplied on the beach, plus 4 kayaks, paddles, life jackets and floats.
