Great place to stay!

We have stayed at this home before and love the convenience of getting to the snowmobile trails! While the Michigan weather was not in our favor this year we stilled had a great time with friends. The house is well maintained and has all of the amenities you need. Plenty of room and the bonus game room is great for the kids to hang out.

Great place on the lake!

The location is spot on! Right off the lake with a great sandy beach for the kids to play. Renting the pontoon for a day was always great to get out on the lake. The house was kept up nice and the extra play room with the pool table was fun. The beds are old and weren't the best to sleep on but overall we had a great time!

New Years get away

We had a great weekend with our family and friends. The game room was great for those that stayed up later after the kids went to bed and the kitchen had plenty of room for us to cook and feed our 3 families during our stay. There were lots of bed options to accommodate the adults and kids as well. The location is great for snowmobiling, however the weather did not cooperate this time. Would definitely look at booking this location again.
