Great respite and beautiful location on the lake

The property was exactly as described and the management was extremely communicative and accommodating. The house is perfect for a family or two, and the location and views of the lake cannot be beat. The house was clean and tidy, lots of extras to keep the family entertained during down times, and a beautiful dock on an area of the lake that is conveniently located near two public marinas.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sugar Creek Retreat. The space was perfect for our family of 8. The lower story game room and yard access was ideal for our 16-25 yo kids. They were able to go in and out to kayak, build a campfire, or sit on the porch without our elderly mother and dog being disturbed. The walls seemed to be well insulated for noise control, as well. The main floor common area had plenty of room for all of us to gather and watch tv or eat meals. The multiple porches were nice because everyone could “find a space” out of the main flow without being isolated. The kayaks and fire pit were used every day of our stay. We are already planning another trip to the area and we hope to stay at Sugar Creek again.
Happy New year!

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for choosing Sugar Creek Retreat for your family getaway, Deanna. We’re glad the home suited everyone in your group, from the game room and yard access for the kids to the quieter areas for your mother and pup. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the porches, kayaks, and fire pit, and made the most of your stay. Thank you for sharing your photos with us. We always enjoy seeing guests make the most of the home and lake. We would be delighted to welcome you and your family back to Sugar Creek Retreat whenever you are in the area. Thank you again for being such wonderful guests. All the best, Ken and the PMI Oconee Team

Perfect lake location

Loved our stay. So many outdoor seating options. We loved swimming off the dock and sitting by the fire pit. Great decks and views. Walked to the marina for fried chicken!Interior of the house is nice but not at all fancy. Beds were on the soft side. Would have appreciated some lake towels. The air fryer was nice. If we had kids, they would have had a blast with the ping pong and other toys. Would stay here again.

Great Lake

Ken was a good host, great communication and responded quickly to a small issue. However, the property owner should update some items, have the house and porches pressure washed and most of all, the owners boat should be removed and have the dock slip available for guests use as advertised. Overall, a nice, quiet location.

Another great summer vacation!

We were looking for an affordable home on the lake and this one was perfect! We were able to accommodate everyone's needs and keep a boat there for the week. House was fully equipped with everything you need, kitchen and toiletries. Kids loved playing cards on screen porch and fishing off dock. The lake was super quiet and great for our crew who was learning to ski. Would absolutely recommend this home! Ken was very responsive and had great information for us.

Thanksgiving Getaway

This house is exactly shown in the photos! They had everything you needed and could ask for. Loved the location and the peace the neighborhood gave. The only complaint I have is that the beds on the main level are not comfortable at all! They squeaked when moving and it felt like we were sleeping on top of a cardboard box with sheets. This needs to be updated.

We Loved this Lakehouse, plenty of room to spread out and in a great location with a beautiful water view. We had a little issue with the air and Mr. Ken got on it immediately! Great communication with him. We really appreciated the shampoo, travel pack of make-up wipes and the big basket of snacks and waters! All of that was a huge plus! Perfect place for a long weekend on Lake Oconee! Plenty of parking for 3 vehicles and our tritoon trailer as well. The addition of the room downstairs for the kids was great with the toys too. They had a ball playing with everything. Thanks for a FUN weekend on Lake Oconee!

Beautiful property on the lake, just 15-20 minutes away from downtown Traverse City.The surrounding area is quiet, and it was nice to have this lot to ourselves. The host was very accommodating, and we were able to find sleeping accommodations for 10 adults. We spent most of the day kayaking on the water and using the fire pit in the evening.The kitchen is well equipped with anything you need to make meals.One thing to be aware of is that there are limited Lyft/Uber drivers, and we didn't get lucky and had to drive into town for bar hopping and dinner. So, make sure you have a few DDs! The property is large and took time to cool down, I would have liked more rooms to have window ACs. My only other suggestion is that the property could use a bit of a deeper clean in the less visible areas of the house; we found a handful of friendly spiders and other insects in closets, corners, and ceilings. Of course, this is in the summer on the lake, so expect there to be bugs and insects getting their way into the property. I would definitely return to this location!
