Outstanding communication and courtesy from the owner. She was responsive, accommodating and kind given the purpose of our trip (our daughter's college graduation.)Her home was spotless and set up completely as described. We appreciated the obvious fresh cleaning and pleasant scents throughout the home.The lake view was lovely, especially in the morning, and the swan visits were also quite pleasant to experience. We appreciated the ground floor bedroom being quite convenient for my handicapped mother-in-law. She thanked us repeatedly for inviting her to stay with us.The home provided an excellent venue for my daughter's celebration. We thank the owner for her kindness.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful view, the cleanliness of the home, and our responsiveness during your stay. We’d like to clarify that the dock was intentionally not installed during your visit, as is customary in Michigan before Memorial Day—especially with temperatures around 41 degrees that weekend and the lake ice having only melted a few days prior. In fact, no docks on the lake were in yet due to seasonal safety conditions. We did make sure alternative water activities like kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding were available for your family to enjoy. We appreciate your stay and your comments, as they help provide helpful seasonal context for future guests.

Great home! We had a wonderful stay at this Vrbo! The listing was completely accurate, which we really appreciated. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the necessary appliances and cookware, and the beds were very comfortable. Communication with the host was excellent; they responded quickly when we experienced an issue with a blown fuse. We'd definitely recommend this property to others

We had an amazing week at Dottie’s Lakeside. It fit our family of 11 perfectly. The grandchildren enjoyed the paddle boards, kayaks and swimming in the shallow water by the dock. The beautiful view, deck and all the nature in the area makes your lake house one of our favorites. Hoping to come again. Thanks for all the memories.

Such a fabulous time! The host was so kind. We attended the Gilmore Girls event in Brighton and had just as much fun staying at the house as the event. Comfortable and welcoming. The host even put out Gilmore Girl napkins and coasters! Ample room, everything worked as it should. Not a single complaint! So kind. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic lake house

My family was coming out for a Michigan Football game and wanted to enjoy the rest of the weekend at a lake house and this place fit the bill perfectly. Great location, lots of room plenty of amenities and a beautiful lake. If we come back around the area we would consider staying again.

Fantastic Lake Getaway!

We stayed the weekend for a family wedding in Ann Arbor and it was really a wonderful spot! The host was very responsive, the house was clean, and the lake was a blast. The only thing I did note is the AC unit services all three floors which means the lower level is cold, the middle is great, and the upper is a bit warm! We would stay again.

Beautiful home and views

It's the perfect vacation rental. We no longer live in Brighton, but come back once a year to visit friends and family. There's plenty of space for my family and ideal for guests to stop by and visit during our stay. The backyard is huge, fishing is great, a nice little beach, and the neighbors were very friendly. The views are beautiful. We will definitely be coming back next summer!

Family friendly

The host was extremely fast at responding if I had a question. The kids loved the water fun. They especially enjoyed the paddle boards. They entertained themselves for hours. There were just a ton of fun toys. Although there were a lot of homes and seemingly were close, the trees made it feel very secluded.
