The only reason I didn't give this rental 5 stars was communication issues with the home owner. I think we were the first renters of the season, so it needed another once over by the cleaning crew. But if you've spent time on home rental websites, you know in N.MI there are really only 2 kinds of homes - "Your family's old cabin" in a great location but badly in need of renovation or something out of the Hamptons. There aren't a lot of somewhat reasonably priced, lovely, well appointed homes - well, this is that home. The location is perfectly situated 30 min from TC, an hour from Sleeping Bear, &1 mile off the fantastic super kid friendly 17 mile beautifully paved TART Bike Trail (small children may need to walk their bike to the trail). We had River Outfitters deliver a kayak and paddle board for a week rental, which we used every morning (in wet suits, because the water is still very chilly in late June). The lake is clean, gorgeous and surprisingly quiet. Stunning sunsets - and neighbors who invited my 10 yr animal obsessed son to come see his herd of Bison. *** We were only a family of 4, because our friends finally had a chance to head overseas to see family after the Pandemic - so for us, the space was great. Just note, if you're going to share with another family (extended or friends), while there are lots of beds, they are in tight spaces, not a lot of privacy. But if the weather is decent it won't matter... really, it's a great location, very nice house. And really, what's better than being *right on a lake* in MI?? Go July 4th or later if you want to get into the water.
