We enjoyed our stay at this property! It’s centrally located between Alpena and Rogers City, making it easy to explore both towns and take in the natural beauty of Presque Isle. The large deck overlooking the water was a highlight and having access to the dock was a bonus! While the kitchen was smaller than expected, the home was well-equipped and comfortably accommodated our group of 8.

Beautiful house and lake. We rented a boat from the nearby marina which allowed us to enjoy the sand bar that is a short boat ride away from the dock. This is our second time staying here and while I felt it wasn’t as clean as the last time it is still a superb rental property.

Grand Lake Retreat was a treat

Property managers were outstanding. Communication was flawless. The home had spectacular views and was very well appointed for longer stays. Outdoor areas were beautiful. All in all a top notch northern Michigan vacation home. We would stay here again if visiting the area in the future.

Family 4th trip

Great space for a group. We had 6 adults, a one year old and a dog for a week of family vacation. We loved the deck, had a great view and enjoyed the open spaces. We had a quick response when we reported lots of ants after a heavy rain. House had plenty of utensils, appliances and dishes and was very well maintained. We had a great family vacation!

I Really Can't Say Enough Good Things About Rapid Retreat!

We have stayed at ** many** VRBO rentals over the years and the Rapid Retreat definitely goes in our FAVORITES bucket! The cottage is very beautiful, updated, and is filled with everything you will need to make your stay comfortable. Everything is clean and tidy. The large deck provides a great place for morning coffee with a beautiful view of the lake. We enjoyed using the new kayaks to explore the lakeshore, and sitting by the campfire almost every night. Plenty of room for our family. Loved it!

Grand Lake lake home

This property was wonderful and accommodated our group of 7 well (three couples, one single). We thoroughly enjoyed the view, which was spectacular from the main floor and upstairs master as well as the lower level. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped and designed, and the bathrooms were well beyond our expectations. The exterior had several areas for seating and enjoying the night sky. I would highly recommend this property. The property management was quick to respond to our inquiries/requests and even dropped off a drip coffee pot for us because we don't appreciate a keurig (too much waste)

Just fantastic! My aunt and uncle once owned this place. Went many times in my youth. My last visit was 1998.Place looks exactly the same and thr current owners have provided a wonderful place. Happy My wife and kids got to experience it. If you want a beautiful lake front home that is very clean a tidy for you and family this is it. Fishing, swimming, kayaking, its all here. Team is very responsive. So if you have issues, just reach out
