Beautiful private setting for our family of 8; 4 adults and 4 children. House was very clean and well stocked. Lots to do outside and inside. We loved it and plan to go back again next year. We would buy it if it ever goes on the market.
This place was just perfect for our little group. We enjoyed we ourselves the house was clean the beds was comfortable. Internet connection was good! Definitely recommend this place

Hi, Sylvia. Thanks for the nice comments. Hope you made some great memories at our home.
Nice,quiet and relaxing place. If you plan on fishing off dock make sure you have weedless lures as there is a lot of lily pads and weeds. But overall a beautiful place.
The hosts were extremely accommodating and the house was very clean. There is a deer farm across the street and one day we could really smell it but the other two days of our stay, we would have never known there was a deer farm so close. The location is very off the beaten path but was very nice once we found it! Also, the paddle pontoon is for smaller humans.
A great ice fishing weekend with some family and friends! We arrived on a Friday to one a foot of snow in the yard, with a clear driveway and walk. Dave and Karen were in constant communication leading up to the stay, and knowing that we were coming to fish, had a path plowed through the snow to the lake for ease of entry. The house was perfect and we had a blast. The lake is full of fish (we kept 95 gills and crappie). Overall a great weekend and I think a summer stay would be even better at this property. 10/10.

Thanks, James, for the great review. We are pleased you had a great time and look forward to having you as our guests again.
The house is extremely clean and is quite comfortable, and it's set in a pretty, quiet location overlooking the large pond (which looked quite clear!). Nice kitchen, nice clean bathrooms. Plenty of linens, etc. Owner was communicative. Had everything we needed. We were visiting family, so it we really just needed a place to sleep; unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to take out the pedal boat or kayaks, or to use the big fire pit, but I'm sure that would have been fun. Lots of games and DVDs downstairs. As a person with allergies, we appreciated that it's pet-free and mostly free of excessive fragrances, fabric softeners, etc (except for one plug-in downstairs, which we located immediately). Only minor complaint is that the beds weren't the most comfortable (the two queens were pretty squishy and sloping), but for a few nights, it was just fine.
Note: the directions provided weren't helpful for us. If you're coming from I-75 or points EAST on M-61, they'll work just fine, but if you're coming from points WEST of the house, it seems to be a problem. We were coming from southwest of the house (M-18 N to Round Lake Road). The various online maps (google and apple) seem to think the house is located off of a through street, when in reality, if you turn onto it as directed from Round Lake Road, it dead ends right into a forest... so we had to figure out how to get to the house from the OTHER direction. No biggie once we figured it out, but the directions need to be updated.
