Family Vacation From Florida

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at your lake house. The house was adorable and comfortable. The property was beautiful. We couldn't get enough of the beautiful lake. Coming from Florida, we were so amazed by the ability to swim and do water activities in the lake without the fear of snakes and/or alligators. Loved the paddle boat, paddle board and kayaks. Water was crystal clear. We can't wait to return in the future. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

It was nice, just wasn't for us

The property was okay. The reasons it wasn't for us are really our personal preferences but I'll note some things I wish I had known before booking. This property has a no smoking and no vaping ANYWHERE on the property policy. I am an ex-smoker and I do not vape but if I did I would have been pretty upset to arrive and read this. Usually, when I read no smoking I think that means indoors, not the whole property. The owner does note they have cameras to make sure you "follow the rules". The location was much further than I hoped from what we wanted to do and it wasn't as secluded as I expected. We didn't enjoy the lake as we had hoped due to the boat rental being unavailable, we tried the peddle boat but within 5 minutes of being in it, the seats were filled with water. The kayaks were a little intimidating for my younger teens on an all-sports lake with people whipping around on jet skis. The space felt small with just one bathroom and beds were just okay. I need a softer mattress topper and was excited about a pillowtop mattress but found these beds to feel more like a foam or hybrid bed so I didn't sleep well. We actually left early because my hips and shoulders hurt from the bed. Overall Heather was a good host. I felt there should have been better amenities for what we paid. Also, the extra work you need to do at checkout was more than I expected at that rate. Overall this felt like a typical old-school Michigan vacation rental, nothing super special.

Flawless Experience

I stayed here for a guy's weekend with some friends and we all had a blast. We were all very impressed with the amenities and have no complaints. The home is stocked well and very clean, the floor plan is great, the beds are comfortable, there are so many things to do in the area and even just on the property (there are games in the closets, the shed, a bunch of kayaks and a paddle boat, a fire pit, grill, and picnic table, etc), the lake and pontoon were an amazing time, and I look forward to coming back again. I loved the location at the end of the road and the general secluded feel of the home. There are markets and diners in the area (M-55, Kozy Kitchen, and the Dublin General Store) which were very unique and all were great. The check in and check out instructions were very clear and simple to execute, and everything needed to do so was provided. Thank you Heather, we will be back soon!
