Amazing lakefront cabin

This lakefront cabin was even nicer in person than the pictures demonstrated online. It's bigger inside than it looks from the outside, the decor was amazing, the amenities were thoughtful and thorough, and the owners were very communicative. Stay HERE if looking in the area!

Great Place for quiet get away

Found the house to be all that was advertised. Host was very thoughtful and checked in before and left great reference material about the area. The house was clean and very well equipped. Beds and furniture were very comfortable. Would certainly use it has a place to meet halfway again sometime. We were looking for a comfortable place to hangout, cook and spend time together and this place was perfect.

Wonderful home with great lake views

This home had just what we needed. A nice dock which was perfect for a bottle of wine in the evening. A wonderful, large screened in porch on the back for lounging. Fully stocked kitchen. Comfortable furniture and beds. We spent most of our time floating on tubes at the end of the dock and relaxing on the back porch. My wife and I absolutely loved it. This is a home we would definitely rent again! Another reviewer mentioned the Clark's Inn and The Lake House for dining. We tried them both and they were fantastic.

The house is absolutely adorable and is exactly as shown in the pictures. We just loved staying in the house. We are from MI and dont have Mayflies, so the amount of them was suprising to us and we couldn't enjoy the beautiful yard and lake as much as we hoped to. That is obviously beyond the owners control so I still marked 5 stars. The house is adorably decorated. Would highly recommend especially if you dont mind mayflies. Its close to alot of places to visit as well. Communication with the owners was the best I've ever had, they are so nice and quick to respond.

The Rules House

Nice property, house is old. Pictures avoid some of the age. No dishwasher and the cabinet in front of the toilet makes it hard to sit on the toilet. The owner arrived as we were unloading early and said we have a problem in a not so nice way. The house has rules everywhere, not something we want to focus on while vacationing.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr, 2025
Hi Matthew, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the property overall, and we appreciate you sharing both the positives and areas where things could have felt more comfortable. After checking in with the homeowner, they shared the following:- We work with professional photographers to make sure the listing photos accurately reflect the home, so guests can book with confidence.- The home does not have a dishwasher, and this is clearly noted in the listing to help set expectations. The cabinet placement in the bathroom is a known quirk of the home's older layout, and we understand it may not work for everyone.- The signage around the house is meant to be lighthearted and inspirational, not restrictive—we’re sorry if it came across differently.- As with many vacation rentals, we do ask guests to complete a few simple checkout tasks like taking out the trash. Our cleaning fee goes toward a professional team that thoroughly prepares the home for each stay.Thanks for letting me know about your stay!
