Wonderful

We enjoyed our stay So much. The house had everything we needed, from the kitchen to the bathroom, bedrooms and garage! My kids ages 9-15 and my elderly parents, we all enjoyed a relaxing vacation. We had the waterfront to ourselves and enjoyed exploring the rocky shores. We immediately felt right at home. Thank you Lois for sharing it with us. Of all the places we have ever stayed- this is my favorite.

Great Views

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

The house and property were lovely. Gorgeous sunrises! The kitchen/living room/dining area were perfect for our small group — so much counter space! Beds were mostly all comfy, house was clean and had pretty much everything we needed. It was quite musty when we first got in, but we were able to air it out after a while. My only complaint is that the beach was murky and a little stinky so we ended up going to another nearby beach. The listing did not say swimming, so no blame there! I guess I just assumed. Overall, we enjoyed it!

Great getaway on the beach!

Loved the place and all of the space on Lake Huron - a great way to celebrate in the new year with some friends :) (FYI if you are traveling with other adults, note that there are plenty of places to sleep but really only two bedrooms. The owner does a great job of separating the beds in the upstairs to more private areas but it's all one big room!).

A great place to spend a quiet relaxing vacation. We saw deer, rabbits, ground hogs and foxes right out on the lawn. The foxes kept us entertained almost every day. Everything was just wonderful! I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
