Great house, great host. More important, it was super clean! The host was very attentive, responding quickly to any questions that we had. The location is perfect, close to whatever you might need, and close to highways yet tucked away on a beautiful lake. Many thanks!

I grew up and went to school in South Lyon. My wife and I co-mange the property with my mom. She's at the house a lot when it's not being rented.

Why they chose this property

- Please Note this property is on a dirt road. Easily accessible and easy to navigate.

You are on a lake, in a wooded area – small animals, spiders and insects are part of the experience . We treat the house every month for pests to help control them, but you will see them.

Do not leave windows or doors open, all insects and some curious wildlife (squirrels and chipmunks ) will enter the house. If you have a pet, please keep it on a leash for their protection.

RULES

-We reserve the right to deny any bookings made by locals from the area. If you are a resident within 50 miles and wish to book this property you must share the reason for your stay. Determination will be made case by case basis.

-Parties must have a track record of 3 confirmed stays on the VRBO platform before they are allowed to book with us.

-Parties and events are not allowed

-Parking is street parking only (it's plentiful!). There is no off-street parking at this property.
