Lake time goodness

Ryan's attention to detail helped our family settle right into lake time: Adirondack chairs around the fire pit right next to the water, gassed-up pontoon at the dock perfect for cruising, sunning, and swimming, plus cute decor and comfortable furniture for when we finally came inside. Being able to bring our sweet old dog really made the trip special.

Relaxing and quiet. No neighbors during the week. Puffy Lux mattress in master was very nice. The 2nd bedroom bed was too hard and no ceiling fan was a negative. Everything else was good. Pontoon boat rental is a must.

Very nice property, though the second bathroom was a little small for 6 adults. Being able to rent the pontoon was a definite plus along with my in-laws being able to bring their dog! Very relaxing and peaceful, which we all needed. Would definitely stay again!

2024 Michigan Memories Made

We enjoyed the homey, clean, quiet & comfortable home on the lake. The kids and dogs loved playing in the extra room off the kitchen. We took advantage of the pontoon boat which was a favorite daily activity except the last day due to rain. S’mores by the lake side fire pit were so toasty :)! More Michigan memories made!
