Great stay!

We loved our stay here with family. Beautiful house in the perfect location. The guys brought their bass boat and caught lots of fish. We enjoyed sitting out back enjoying the view of the lake.

Perfect getaway for families!

This property is absolutely perfect especially if you have young children. The host was very gracious and the property itself had everything you would ever need. Amenities were second to none, and the place was spotless and well taken care of by the owners. We had an amazing time and will be back without a doubt!

Peaceful perfection

We stayed at Caroline’s home for the month of June and it had everything we needed and more. We felt right at home and can’t wait to return next yr. It was the best VRBO experience that we have ever had. Thank you.

Lovely home with the most beautiful view! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and would stay here again. Beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The house sits on little portage which is a nature paradise! It was easy to get to the bigger lake and ride on our ski boat. It was also nice that they provided kayaks. The house was very easy to communicate with. We had lots of space and gorgeous lake!

Spacious waterfront house, very clean, and well equipped kitchen. We stayed there for thanksgiving so we didn’t do a lot outside, but there is an outdoor table, small lawn, and a mini beach. There’s a house less than 40’ from one side but not visible inside, and the other side is a large natural marsh. Good communication with the host, super easy.

A Fun Getaway!

We stayed with two families in this house and it was fine for what we needed. Well stocked and right on the water. House and yard is not quite as pictured, but it was fine. We loved the area, but we did have to bring our smaller boat to fit it under some of the bridges on the chain of lakes. The boys caught plenty of fish on the lake we stayed on so they were happy!

Wonderful stay!

We had such a nice time over the holiday weekend. The space was perfect for me and my wife with our 19-month old, my parents, and my sister-in-law to all stay, and we had plenty of room to host my brother and wife and two children during the say for two days. The backyard was lovely and very close to the water. We made great use of the fire pit and the grill. Our son loved the little beach area and all of the fun toys that were available for him. Great, great place to stay if you’re looking to do something similar to what we did. Oh and as a bonus the neighbors have two very sweet dogs :)

Perfect Country Lakehouse

We loved our stay here! The house was cozy with a comfortable living space, well appointed kitchen, and functional bedrooms that suited our party of 8 (6 adults, 2 kids) perfectly. The crib in the master closet was perfect for the baby in our family and the supply of kiddo books, highchair, and plastic cups, plates, and bowls made vacation with our littles much easier. The lake views were beautiful, even in the winter and we loved watching the ducks and other birds skate/swim on the water/ice. The host was amazing and fast to respond from when we booked through our stay. Thank you so much!!!

Great Stay, beautiful view, friendly neighbors

My paintball team and I stayed here for an event in the next town over. Our stay as absolutely wonderful, the view of the lake right outside of the house was a pleasant one to see every morning and night. Having a fire literally inches from the water was surreal and definitely was a selling point on this trip. The house itself was in immaculate shape and the beds and bedrooms were very comfortable. The hostess was amazing at communicating and very helpful with all of the questions I had! I definitely would recommend staying here, there is not a single regret. Even with kids, this place is decked out in childproofing and definitely would be a great spot for a family trip. My wife and I will definitely be staying again!

Exceeded Expectations

This great house was fantastic for our Parents' Weekend with our Wolverine. We were able to have grandparents, parents, and sibling stay in this inviting home. The home was clean and inviting, had plenty of space, great amenities, and a lovely west-facing view! Even with the cool weather, it was so nice to be out on the lake after the game. Go Blue!
