The Lake House has wonderful outdoor amenities, with a nice shaded lawn, firepit and dock. The water is shallow for quite a distance with a nice sandy bottom and is good for all ages to wade. There is also a moveable swim raft that was put to good use, even at the end of May!
The dock has a hoist, so we lauched our boat a few miles away and kept it on the hoist for the weekend. The lake has excellent fishing and we enjoyed a nice bass dinner.
The house has many updates, including new kitchen appliances, and two new bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked.
The bedrooms are all larger than they appear in the pictures and very comfortable. We appreciated the soft sheets and ceiling fans. Every room had a few desk fans to use because there is no air conditioning. Despite the home being only 1800 square feet, there was plenty of room for all our guests.
The home is located near so many places to visit, we ran out of time! It is a very short drive to Leland or Suttons Bay and only about 30 minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes.
The neighborhood was quiet although at night the sound of the cows across the lake could be heard!
The parking is a little tight, as expected with a lake house, so we did have to let the homeowners know in advance how many cars/boats, and occasionally had to move cars around. This is a small price to pay for a wonderful vacation.
We highly recommend this property and hope to return again someday!
