Cozy home in Walloon

We stayed here as a family of four for 4 nights and enjoyed it very much. The home is not located directly on the water, but is a short 0.5 mile walk to the village, including Tommy’s boat rental, Barrel Back, and the general store. The house is comfortable, nothing fancy, but feels as if you’re staying with family or friends in their home. Thank you for letting us stay!

These particular renters are better suited for a stay at a hotel vs a cottage.

A Walloon Retreat

Woodsy and comfortable older home. Convenient to Walloon Lake Village ( 10 minute brisk walk) and within site of the lake. All amenities as advertised but coffee maker needs replacement. A quiet get-a-way.

The coffeemaker is a brand new top of the line model (Bunn). Not sure why a new coffee maker is needed.

Family wedding stay

We came to Walloon for my daughters wedding and stayed the week. It was a great house for our family. The deck was a great gathering space, we enjoyed the fire pit, walking the path, the quaint stores at the foot. Went paddle boarding and played pickle ball at the park. House was very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. The 3 full bathrooms made it easy to get ready and after the Beach. Host always replied to my questions promptly. Thank you.
