The house was beautiful and so clean, cleanest house we've ever stayed at. Lake was absolutely beautiful, large windows off the back of the house with an amazing view. Ken was very hospitable, he came over when we arrived to make sure we knew how to drive the boat and brought us over some extra board games. Overall, we had a really nice stay. The Canadian wildfire smoke did put a damper on our last few days but we'd definitely return!

Thanks for the very nice comments on the cleanliness. That's my job and I take great pride in a clean well kept place! So sorry about the Canadian wildfire smoke. Hopefully none of us experience that again! In spite of that I'm happy to hear that you would stay again!

This place was fantastic! Clean, well maintained, comfortable, and all of the consumables were provided. The owners were responsive, friendly, and helpful, and went out of their way to ensure we had a good stay. Very nice little lake, and the pontoon boat made it very enjoyable. Thanks so much for helping make our vacation enjoyable!

Beautiful lakefront property. We enjoyed the pontoon boat, kayaks, fishing, and swimming. Explored the area, Ausable River and East Tawas. Pizza from Mikeys and breakfast at Big Bob's also get a 5 star. Ken was quick to respond to questions and provide us with anything needed to make our stay most enjoyable, Thank you!

Such a nice cabin! The owner, Ken, was excellent! He made sure we had everything we needed for our week stay. The cabin was very clean. The lake was great for fishing. There isn't anything that could've made the experience better. West Branch was not very far away for any needed shopping. The lake wasn't overcrowded. There were plenty of other lakes in the area for fishing as well. We highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a quiet getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Ken Zander

Host profile image
Our Family has been on this Awesome Lake for over 30 Years. A few years ago we bought the little cottage next door and completely remodeled it. We took it down to the studs and installed all new flooring, windows, roof, siding and heating and cooling. We have been using this place for Family and friends overflow. I recently retired and we have decided to open our little place up for rental on a limited basis.
We love to boat, fish, watersports, volleyball etc. Along with sitting and relaxing and watching the Eagles, Osprey and Loons on one of the best kept secrets in Northern MI (South Dease Lake).

Why they chose this property

South Dease Lake is 1 of only a few Private Lakes in the Hale area which boasts over 65 Lakes. Which means it is often quiet and peaceful and often times during the week we are the only boat out on the Lake. South Dease Lake is an All Sports and is great for fishing, boating (tubing, water skiing, wake boarding etc). We Love this Lake and the area. It is rural and quiet and the town of Hale is less than a 10-minute drive away and has pretty much everything you need (Grocery, hardware, gas/ice)

What makes this property unique

We are one of the few properties on the Lake without steps down to the water. We also are one of the few places with a nice sandy beach into the water (no seawall) for sitting and relaxing or playing corn hole, volleyball etc.
