Perfect spot for a group trip!

My friends and I stayed together at this house while we all attended a nearby wedding. The house was the perfect home base for a large group of people with the high number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and places to gather. A nice surprise was how close it was to restaurants and grocery stores serving the Sister Lakes. No complaints, only positive things to say!

Great Family Vacation

We had an amazing family vacation. The beach and lake were great and the shallow water made it perfect for our granddaughter. She spent hours in the lake. The kayaks, paddle board and corn hole were huge hits. Our beds were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed. All the neighbors are very friendly. Thank you Gerry and Liz for all your help and advice on places to go.

Fantastic Place For A Family Vacation

Amazing house, amazing location, and an amazing time. We recently spent a week at the house for a family vacation. The house was perfect and very roomy to accommodate a large family. The three tiered patio provided plenty of room and options for outdoor entertainment, and the beach and lake took care of the rest. The owners were very easy to communicate with, and were very accommodating in making sure we had an excellent time. We are looking forward to coming back in the future.

Fantastic lake house

We had a group of 14 family members stay for a long weekend to attend my daughter's PhD graduation from MSU. It was the perfect house, described perfectly and in a beautiful location. I would highly recommend this house to anyone. The communication with the owners was fantastic. We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate this special occasion.

Idyllic Beach House! We had a great family reunion here. Can't wait to come again.

We were 5 families who gathered at this beautiful beach house for Spring Break. The owners are very responsive and go the extra mile to make sure that the guests have a comfortable stay. The house had a couple of kayaks for us to use, which was a lot of fun for the family. The house was clean and as per the description. We look forward to coming again sometime in the summer or fall, to make the most of the outdoor amenities that come with the house.

Anniversary celebration

Beautiful home and amenities- we enjoyed our visit there and with each other- and the grandkids loved playing in the sand and at the water’s edge. We spent one day in St Joe which was just beautiful! A few family members have allergies so some of the dog hair was a little bothersome for them, but other than that it was very nice! We spent each night around the fire table which was a great way to end each day!
Stayed 3 nights in May 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2023
I’m sorry about any dog hair that the cleaning woman missed. As you know we got caught in the middle of a hectic situation because we were moving in Illinois from one house to another and had to live in Michigan for 10 days before you’re rental weekend. Rather then cancel your rental on a last minute notice we did our best to accommodate everyone. We had 2 cleaning crews come in the day before and one the day of to make sure the house was spotless to accommodate your early check in request. I will speak with the owner of the cleaning company and let her know that her workers must be more attentive to details. Hopefully the late check out helped smooth out any concerns. Again sorry for the inconvenience but glad the weekend was enjoyable for your family get together. Thanks Ger and liz

A fun vacation rental on Round Lake, Michigan

Terrific place. Lots of space. Beautiful decor. Right on Round Lake. Loads of things to do at the home and in the vacinity. Short drive to Lake Michigan. Owner communicated well. Kitchen was well appointed. Fun sandbar in lake just off of rental shore. Property manager was very approachable, too. Great place for a large family!

Wonderful Getaway With Friends

We rented this home over Columbus Day weekend with a group of our friends that we try to do once a year. We could not have asked for a better weekend staying in this home. The check in was flawless and the hosts were readily available if we had any questions. The home comes stocked with anything you could possibly need. We had a fabulous time and cannot wait to come back! Thanks again!

Girls Weekend

We are a group of 10 women that rented the house for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautifully decorated home. The house met all our needs, including enough beds for all of us, plenty bathrooms, and many great spaces to hang out in. The kitchen is amazing and having three refrigerators is a real bonus. The fire table was a fun way to enjoy s’mores on a cool night. The hosts were responsive and very accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Thanksgiving trip

We loved staying at the Gorman Lakehouse! My family of 20 (siblings, cousins, spouses, and children) all fit comfortably in this beautiful home for a Thanksgiving trip. The kitchen was well-equipped for our needs, and stores nearby provided everything else. Communication was very clear and thorough with the host, Jerry, throughout the entire process. We hope to visit again in the summer to partake in all the warm weather activities in the area!

Great house and Great Lake!

We stayed at the house in early August and had a great time! Everything was clean and in good condition. The kitchen island is a great shape for serving food and hanging out. Tons of fridge space and loved the ice maker and warming drawer! Lots of beach towels which was super convenient. Great location for walking to Sister Lakes Brewery, The Strand, Dockside Dan’s, etc. The owners were great to work with. We loved our vacation!

Fantastic

Really awesome property right on Round Lake. The house is very comfortable and the 7 bedrooms make it perfect for large families like ours. The owners (Gerry and Liz) go the extra mile providing tons of extras - kayaks, paddle board, beach towels, corn hole boards, 3 hole putting green and many other fun things. I strongly suggest renting their 27 ft pontoon boat. Fantastic time cruising in the evening or skiing/tubing during the day. Gerry’s communication and actions solving issues is unmatched. You will be delighted if you choose to rent this property!

This home was absolutely perfect for our family vacation! We had babies, toddlers, kids, teens, parents, and grandparent. Everyone was very happy and greatly entertained! The location was perfect on clear water lake, sandy beach area, sand bar near by, playground down the street, and multiple restaurants and an ice cream shop! The boat was very spacious and a great addition to the trip! The house was clean and well stocked with so many amenities. You can tell the owners really take pride in their home and making sure it has everything you need for a wonderful stay.

The owners of this property could not have been more accommodating. The house was beautiful with a perfect sunset view. Great beach with all the equipment available.

Family Vacation

Perfect location on the lake. Sun all day long! Umbrellas to pop up when you wanted shade. The house was able to accommodate a large family vacation- 22 total. The beach had enough seating for everyone. Water toys to keep everyone busy. A short walk to restaurants, ice cream shop, roller rink , and grocery store. We will definitely continue the tradition in this lovely home. Owner was amazing with timely communication.
