We loved this house, wish I could give it 6 stars!, It was wonderfully designed to optimize lake views and lake life, super clean and a ton of space. It has beautiful views of the lake and the sunset and great outdoor space. It's the perfect location, 10 minutes from the vibrant Saugatak and Douglas downtown with amazing art galleries, restaurants and bars, It is 15 minutes from Oval beach one of the nicest beaches in Michigan. The house is priced very well for how beautiful and new it is compared to other houses on the lake! It is in a private lake front community which is super safe a minutes from Crane's Pantry and you pick farms where you can pick fresh blueberries, apples to name a few. There is also a winery and cider brewery 5 minutes away! The bocce ball court is awesome and the outside keeps the kids busy for hours, not to mention the on-property sand beach that the little ones loved! Luke is an amazing host, house was in pristine condition with everything we needed for a family week, we even invited up friends to help with the rental price. Luke was great at telling us restaurants and places to go, if you want to rent out of the downtown Saugatak on your own private, quiet and clean lake you need to rent this house. We also rented a pontoon which was super easy, Luke gave us the details. We were able to do sunset cruises and had the kids play at the sandbar. The sandbar is a short boat ride away with a beautiful sandy bottom and water is knee deep, we played boat tunes and drank cocktails while the kids swam and played with water toys in the safe and shallow waters of the sand bar! We loved this property and lake so much, we actually bought a house on Hutchins Lake this past December!
