We had 4 families and several children staying here; it was an absolutely amazing home, well thought out spaces, lots of space for kids and adults to socialize. I hope to come back some day!!
Location, house and host were great. Pictures were accurate and did not disappoint. Molly was readily available and very helpful. Would definitely visit again.
My four generation family spent a wonderful long weekend at your beautiful property. Everyone had a lot of fun fishing and enjoying the lake and huge porch. The great room with an amazing kitchen provided the perfect gathering space. The bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable. The bathrooms were fantastic and two offered walk in showers. Well appointed and comfortable.comfortabke. kitchenproviprovidetheperfect space to
We had 12 of us staying here but there's room for more. Fantastic house on the lake with a fantastic view and a huge beautiful porch with views. Molly was always responsive and a great host! Best house on the lake!
Our family really enjoyed our relaxing stay! This beautiful home was perfect for adults & children alike. The lake is beautiful and clean. A side trip to St. Joseph, MI filled a rainy day. Lots of things to do! The host is quick to respond to any questions and extends her hospitality with a smile! Definitely worth a return trip! Thank you!
We had a great week at the lake. The house was perfect for our large family. The rooms were clean and spacious. The dining area was big enough for our whole family to eat together. Lots of seating on the deck and the whole backyard. We also rented the boat and had a great time on the lake. Thank you.
This was the perfect house for a large group! The house was beautiful, there is plenty of beach, and activities to do.and Molly made the whole thing even easier. Even the people we met out on the sandbar said “you’re staying at the best house on this lake”. We couldn’t have had a better time!
Perfect place to vacation. Everything you need in one place. Our children and adults loved all the outside activities, esp tubing and volleyball. The house was beautiful and tons of space for 20. We have a blast!
Perfect house for our group of 11! Plenty of room indoors and outside for reading, relaxing, game playing, cooking, and eating. Having the lake right there, with a large floating raft, paddle boards, and kayaks made for lots of water fun. Great location in that the house is near farmers’ markets, La Perla market, Driftwood Summer Shop for delicious ice cream, and the adorable town of St. Joe, which is fun for shopping and dining. We had a wonderful time at this gorgeous, well-appointed lake house!
The house and the property is beautiful. You can find anything you need for your family. Everything was well equipped. Very clean and modern. We definitely will be back.
House was advertised perfectly , and it still didn't do it justice ! The house and grounds are amazing !
Any questions were answered right away !
Thank you so much for having us !!
The home was amazing! We absolutely loved it! There was plenty of room for our group and we still could have brought another large family with us. We spent each morning around the kitchen island and large table eating breakfast together.
We loved going out on the pontoon every day and enjoyed the lovely lake. The kids went swimming and we all relaxed. Best vacation ever!!!!!
We recently took our first entire family trip and stayed the weekend at this beautiful lake house. The house had plenty of room to generously accommodate all of us..my husband and I, three daughters and their spouses and all of our grandchildren (7) ranging in age from 6-17. The fact that it was cloudy and rained a good part of our stay didn’t seem to affect anyone, we had an absolute blast kayaking, paddle boarding, beach volleyball, playing in the water and building sand castles..lots of enjoyment with the game tables downstairs too. The house is so well equipped..we brought food and beverages and didn’t want for anything! Molly is very attentive and pleasant to communicate with. I only wish we could have stayed longer and hope we can return at some point in the future..maybe next year?
It was stunning house. Very clean and filled with all necessary supplies. There was plenty of room for our large three generation family. Molly was great in responding to some of the issues we encountered. I had to take away one star as the quality of water was very bad. They have well water but it was stinking so much that it was difficult to use it.
We celebrated my parents 50th anniversary and had a spectacular time. The place had plenty of room and was set up really well for our needs, with nice big bedrooms for the adults and a sweet bunk room. We cooked most of our meals in the nice big kitchen.
Molly was really responsive and helped us out with everything we needed (which wasn't much).
It's an absolutely gorgeous property - the kids loved playing in the beach under the volleyball net and we rented the pontoon for a day on the lake. Everything is in great shape and well-maintained.
We could get almost everything we needed at the small hispanic grocery store just down the road, and the breweries in town (Strand and Sister Lakes) are super cool spots.
Only a couple of minor quibbles - we could have used a few more basic paper products (TP & paper towels) and there's no firewood onsite, so be sure to bring some or buy some.
The house is right off a pretty busy highway, so there's a lot of road noise, and the houses next door are very close. Not the best spot if you want privacy or peace & quiet, but the tradeoff is being so close to town and everything you need.
Would love to stay here again if we have the chance!
Our families had a great stay for our annual reunion lake house trip. The house was perfect for our group with 4 bedroom suites for the adult couples. The bunk room was a highlight for the kids since they can all fit in the same room and they had a great time watching late night movies all together. The house was amply stocked with everything you need to cook for a larger group.
The outside amenities kept everyone busy. The house was stocked with paddle boards, kayaks and more. The sand volleyball area was put to good use each day by both the kids and the adults.
The lake was calm and easy to navigate jet skis and take the pontoon out on the lake. It is a smaller lake allowing parents to see the kids on the lake the entire time. We rented the pontoon from the owners so that was a huge plus. Thank you! We did rent jet ski's but it was a challenge to find a company willing to rent and deliver them to the public dock which is conveniently close to the house.
The owners were a delight and checked in to make sure everything was going OK at points throughout the trip. They were also very responsive when we had questions. This house is a definite rent again for our group in the future.

Beautiful house, gorgeous lake, go prepared
Pros:
- Beautiful lake
- Beautiful house
- Well-equipped with towels, water-safety equipment, canoes, paddleboards, sand box, toys, etc.
- Awesome basement for kids to play
- Huge kitchen with a second fridge in laundry room
- Convenient laundry access from the deck
- Responsive and accommodating hosts
- Great fire pit and comfortable outdoor seating
- Shallow lake with a social sandbar to swim and hang out on
- Short drive to St. Joe's, a cute town with a great beach and playground
Cons:
- Very busy, double yellow lined highway right outside the house, causing noise during the day and especially at night. No fence for privacy or safety.
- One room has 11 beds and no door, sharing the smallest bathroom in the house. Up to 16 people sharing a bathroom when combined with room next door that sleeps 5 more people
- Steep drop-off from the backyard to the water with no railing, requiring extra caution for kids or those in the water.
- Limited, single-ply toilet paper provided in each bathroom
- Lack of basic amenities for the steep price, with limited nearby options for supplies
- Absence of dish soap and limited cleaning supplies
- Required to do fair amount of clean-up despite the cleaning fee, including stripping beds, emptying fridge and taking out the trash
- Limited shade in the backyard, making it challenging to hang out comfortably during sunny days. A tent or umbrella would be beneficial.

About the host
Hosted by Molly Nate
My family and I built this property nearly 8 years ago with the intent to enjoy every amazingly beautiful summer day here. As my children are growing we find it harder to spend as much time as we would like at the lake house. We decided to open our doors to other families so they too can enjoy Michigan summers on Round Lake. We hope you love this home and this space as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
One of a kind! You won't ever want to leave. 😊
