Family Vacation

The setting was perfect for our large group. We especially enjoyed the courtyard area for meals and visiting. There were multiple yard games and activities for all ages. Very private and cozy. Kids had a great time finding rocks on the beach! Extra touches were thoughtful. Host was easy to contact and attempted to correct a few issues promptly. We would definitely stay again

Perfect place for a big active family!!!

This our second time at the lakehoise and again it did not dissapoint. The place has tons of rooms for our big family reunion, we literally used every outdoor game, row boat, canoe, paddle boat there was. We hiked on all the trails and even played pickel ball in the court yard which doug patched up specifically for use to use !! We love this place and plan on returning for many more summers in the future. Thanks doug!!!

Cozy Beautiful Lakeside Retreat

We rented this property for a family vacation and were so pleased with it. It was perfect for a large group, having plenty of space for everything and everyone. It was clean, yet cozy and inviting. You can tell the owners put love and care into the place. It is very kid friendly, the owners have a wonderful game room and do little things to make the kids feel special. The lake is small but so private. It has a nice beach with gradual water entry which is great for small swimmers. Good fishing. Beautiful setting and great views from several nice decks. It had extremely well stocked kitchens . Would highly recommend !!

Great place for family get-together

This was a great place to stay; secluded and quiet with plenty of space for multiple people; activities onsite and also close enough to drive to a beach and to river canoeing. We were easily able to make our food with the items provided, and it was awesome to have boats and a fire pit available. Just a few things to help clarify the listing. The buildings are close together (which was a plus for us). There are plenty of fun games and movies for kids. Kitchens are well-stocked, and there were lots of towels. There were definitely lots of bugs (early July). Temp in buildings was fine without AC. The one item we wished was available was a washer/dryer. Also maybe worth noting is that the bedroom in the lodge with the bunk beds is quite tiny and has a bathroom attached.

Beautiful property and amazing hosts!

I wish I could give this place 100 stars for this review. The property is beautiful with lots of space for hiking, grilling out, and playing all of the yard games the hosts provided. The lake is very clean with a little beach that’s perfect for swimming. We caught countless bass, bluegill, and one of the largest perch I have ever seen. The property is super secluded so you will never feel crowded by other people, but it’s close enough to town to do laundry or run to the store. There are some really cool Amish stores in town that sell delicious ice cream and treats. We spent day on the Ausable River tubing and swimming, which was only a 10 minute drive from the house. The cabins were fully stocked with extra towels, toilet paper, and complimentary soaps and shampoos. In the main lodge they had darts, chess, checkers, and dozens of other games that we never had a chance to play. We had a group of 18 people in total ranging from 1 year old to 45 years old and there was enough space for all of us in the main lodge and the other 2 cabins. All of the buildings were close to each other so everybody had space but we’re still close enough to be all together. Now, the hosts were probably the nicest and most accompan

Fantastic family retreat

Our family absolutely loved our stay at Horseshoe Lake – what a hidden gem! We were an extended family group of about 14, and having 3 separate sleeping units and kitchens was perfect for us. No struggles with finding enough fridge space or oven space! :) I have to say — I feel like the pictures on VRBO don't even do the property justice (it's better!). The lake is beautiful and private, there are plenty of outdoor areas for relaxing and playing games, and a great firepit. Plus, the property owner was kind and always quick to respond to questions, providing all the info we needed to enjoy our stay. The cabins included plenty of towels, bedding, and more very thoughtful amenities. For any birders out there, a bald eagle, great blue heron, and solitary sandpiper were frequent visitors to the lake on our stay. This is included in the listing, but the only thing I would note is that there is no laundry on site. Just a matter of packing enough clothes for your stay, and making sure to get beach towels out hanging in the sun to keep them dry! (There's also a laundromat in town.) 10/10 would recommend for any group, especially a larger extended family/friend group!

Hidden Gem

We enjoyed our stay at Horseshoe Lake Hideaway. Everything was very clean and tidy. The three separate buildings provided us with a lot of space but are close enough to still feel like part of the group. It is clear that the owners take care of the property and pride in its beauty. They show a lot of attention to detail in both the aesthetic of the property and the little touches like leaving a tea cake for us. They left a basket of small toiletry items in case we forgot anything, fresh bottles of hand soap at the sinks, dish sponges in each kitchen, fresh bottles of bodywash in the bathrooms, and towels…so many soft towels! The kitchen and grill area are well stocked. I only used my own knives. I couldn’t find an ice-cream scoop, but it could have been in another kitchen I didn’t get a chance to search. There are no containers with lids, so bring containers, Ziplocks, or saranwrap if you think you will have leftovers. We brought lots of drinking water; it is very expensive at the local grocery store, and we used it to cook as well as the water smelled like well water. Coffee is ready! The owners left coffee, water for the pots, powdered creamer, and sugar in an adorable display in each kitchen. The lake is beautiful with lots of small fish for catch and release. It is not great for swimming because the bottom is typical for inland Michigan lakes. However, we still swam. Like another commenter said, one room is really bunkbeds in a large closet, but it does have its own

Perfect spot for extended family or large group that wants a quiet getaway

First let me say that the owners are some of the nicest I have ever rented from and I rent a lot of homes for trips! They were quick to answer any and all questions I had before and during my stay. They were fully stocked for large groups, they didn't mind if you took a pot or utensil from one cabin and brought it to another. They also were kind enough to leave access to supply closets so we could get extra toilet paper, trash bags ect. The way the cabins are set up is great. It allows for large groups to be together but still have some privacy. The beds were comfy and the space was clean. A few things to note to future renters (but understand these things are no fault of the owners). 1. The pond is small so it's not super clean, if your fussy about where you swim you may not like it. 2. The lagoon and surrounding woods are full of ticks (at least at this moment). If you stay in the yard or by the pond you are fine 3. Cell phone service is not great for t-mobile and at&t carriers. 4. While there is wifi available it was not high quality... I'm not sure you can get much that better so far back in the woods 5. There is not a ton to do in Mio besides spend time on the Ausable River (which was fine by us)... I think the town packs up its side walks at 7pm... seriously even Mc Donald's was closed at 7pm lol This rental isn't for everyone... but my family LOVED it!!! We didn't do much just spent a week together and relaxed, played lots of yard games, and forgot the outside world.

Wonderful family resort

We had a great time in a beautiful setting. Loved the fact there was many bedrooms and bathrooms for all. We utilized the many boats and on rainy days the games. Loved the wild life on the property. But, it was the little touches that made us feel welcome...the welcome basket, especially the coffee fixing {I need my coffee!!LOL}, the nightlights, the books on the tables to name a few.. When we had questions they had quick responses, we will be back. Would highly recommend this resort for another family. We have already had many people wanting to know about this place.

Family time.

We loved this rental! The property was as described, very well stocked and welcoming. We had a range in age from 9 months to 87 years -13 of us-and each of us had plenty of space. Lots of games and the kids enjoyed fishing and swimming. The lake is quite clear. Doug was a perfect host and very quick to respond to any questions. Would not hesitate to rent again.

Mary Poppins!!! Perfect in every way!!

If I was selfish I would leave a bad review so this place doesnt get overbooked for next summer!!! But I can't do that to Doug and his amazing place. My family had an fabulous time, this set of cabins were perfect for my family and we did everything offered on the property, paddle boat, canoeing, volleyball, hiking, ect. We even brought an airmattress for king of the hill wresting matches on the lake which was hilarious and super fun. Can't wait to come back next summer!!!

Slice of heaven

My family and had an amazing time at the property. Far away from everything so the kids could be kids all day. And when it came to enjoying the lake the property owner went above and beyond to make sure there was plenty to do. 3 canoes, a kayak and 2 paddle boats. I will definitely be staying again. Thanks for everything William!

I would recommend this property to anyone and everyone!! The accommodations were incredible for our large group and the property is just gorgeous. Everything outdoors is right outside your doors!! I will definitely be staying here again. We actually tried to extend our stay beyond our six days while we were there, but unfortunately it was already booked!! Not one person wanted to leave. 10/10 on everything!! Not having AC was rough for some during the hot days, but being in the lake made up for it!! Communication with the owner was outstanding. He really goes above and beyond. We had an incredible week and created amazing memories here!!!

Just as described

We had a great time at the resort. It is very secluded and we had the lake all to ourselves. If you are looking for a fancy place, this isn't it. But if you are looking for a clean, nice place with plenty of beds then you can't go wrong. We did have an issue with one refrigerator not working properly and the sink in the lodge not draining well. But other than that we had no issues. The lake was low but still able to swim. We saw a family of deer across the lake almost every morning. We were visited by wild turkeys and cranes as well. We would stay here again.

Beautiful and perfect for groups

Owners had amazing communication through and before trip. Cabins were clean and cute, everything we needed was included. Upon arrival there was a little treasure hunt on the beach for the kids ❤ Absolutely stunning views, open porches with seating, everyone enjoyed fishing, kayaking, paddle boating around the lake or just relaxing in the many seating areas. Bald Eagle viewed everyday. Main lodge has 5 bedrooms, the 2 side cabins have 2 bedrooms each. Comfortably sleeping 19 in beds, plenty of couches for more to sleep. Our family loved our stay and plan to return again soon!

We had 21 family members on this trip from four months old to their mid 60's and everyone enjoyed themselves. There was room to spread out and it was so calm and quiet. The lake is beautiful as is the setting in the trees. The cabins and lodge are quaint and nicely equipped. The location made several day trips, to Lake Huron and to Mackinaw City very easy to do. The communication with the owner was quick and very professional. I recommend staying here and plan to come again soon!
