House was amazing, very well appointed with everything we could think. Check in was easy.
My daughter and I took the canoe out fishing a few times and caught a ton of nice bass.
Outstanding lake house experience property! My wife and I spent six weeks here with various family members coming and going over that time. Everyone enjoyed every minute of our time here. The house itself, the view, the kayaks, the wildlife - it was all great. The house is well equipped and the host is exceptionally responsive. Highly recommend.
We’ve previously stayed in VRBOs as part of big family get togethers but this was the first time we have stayed just on our own as a family. We had a WONDERFUL stay!! The location and set up were perfect for us. We knew how everything worked and where everything was (thanks to the Host) which made our stay great and smooth. We all enjoyed ourselves at such a lovely home.

Thank you. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family and we are so happy that you had a wonderful stay!
We had a great time at the lake house. The house was very clean and well kept. The kitchen had everything you needed! We’ve stayed in a lot of rentals when traveling and this was the most well stocked kitchen I’ve ever had! Our adult children and their spouses lived the kayaks and paddle board and we had wonderful visits around the fire pit.
I took my husband and his family to see where I’m from in Michigan and we stayed in North Lake. It was a perfect vacation! There is plenty of living space to share and the beds were very comfy. We used the kayaks and paddle boards nearly every day, and ended every night sitting on the deck with a perfect lake view. Only a short drive to downtown Chelsea, Dexter or Pinckney. Highly recommend the Bearclaw drive through coffee right down the road as well. Would definitely book this home again!
This rental property is great place to spend your vacation. The house is in exceptional excellent condition and is very clean and comfortable. The lake (North Lake) is very clean and clear. While standing on the dock you see the bottom and fish swimming around. The owner communications is excellent. House keeping and grounds keeping is excellent. We had a very very good experience and enjoyed our time at North Lake.
Cindy's beautiful lake place was perfect for our family of four -- two parents, and 18 year old and a 21 year old. The house is immaculate, incredibly well equipped, with plenty of bathrooms, bedrooms and gathering spaces for a group significantly larger than ours. The lake itself was perfect for swimming and boating; the water was clean, the bottom of the lake was comfy for feet, and the grassy area next to it had lots of seating and a firepit. Cindy was easy to communicate with. The nearby towns of Dexter and Chelsea are well worth a visit, and of course Ann Arbor is only 25 minutes or so away. We may come back again each August, to help our son move into his digs at UM! Really can't recommend it enough.
