Awesome family reunion/wedding weekend!

The home was exactly as advertised, spacious enough for 8 adults and 2 children, plenty to do for fun outside too! The boats & 3.5 baths were a huge influence on our selection decision. We loved it!!

A Perfect Place to Relax with Family and Friends

We had a fun and relaxing week kayaking, swimming, and sitting by the campfire. We had 6 kids (7-12 years old) who enjoyed every bit of this property inside and out. The lake is beautiful and peaceful and the house is close enough to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City to make day trips doable. We highly recommend!

Lake vacation

We had a great time. The house had plenty of room for all of us. It had plenty of supplies that we forgot. It was close to a grocery and pharmacy. The kids enjoyed the kayaks and swimming in the lake. It was a good time for everyone.
