Lovely property; disappointed with the details
The lake is beautiful and the house is lovely. However, we were a bit disappointed with the day to day details of living at this property. The advertised main floor laundry was unavailable ("waiting for parts" owner said) so we were "allowed" to use the basement washer/dryer. That was quite inconvenient for daily laundry for a large group. It turned cold during our stay and when we asked how to get the advertised gas fireplaces to work the reply was "it would not lite the last time we tried it. I have put three different controllers in there. Might be time to get a different fire place". Obviously the owner knew in advance we would not be able to use the laundry or the fireplaces... but charged us full price for the stay. In addition, the upstairs bathtub/shower was plugged and is in need of maintenance. We moved a floor lamp in the living room so it could be plugged into a socket that worked. Again, the house itself has a wonderful layout and it was perfect for our multi-family situation. The lakefront is right out the back door and we were fortunate to have several days with beautiful weather where we could sit outside and enjoy the lake and the view. That aspect was 5 star! Rockford is a nice little town and we could find everything we needed at the Meijer's store there. I highly recommend it. Overall, the stay was very pleasant. It's too bad we encountered a few too many disappointments with the practicals; I feel a bit resentful of paying the price we did.

Vacation home
It was a great location, Great Lake, lots to do in the water, Many kitchen utensils, etc. It was a large home that could hold 2 families comfortably. It was a little warm in the upstairs bedrooms, but discussed with Julie and she said she will look into ways to make it cooler on the 2nd floor.

A NEW FAMILY FAVORITE!
My family and I have been renting different lake properties for our summer getaway for the past 5 years and so far this was our absolute favorite! All children in the family are under the age of 5 so a walk-in with a sandy beach was huge for us. The beach area was well maintained and was even beautifully raked upon our arrival. Also, the lake was shallow enough and very clean all the way out to the end of the dock. We had such a blast playing in the water with the kids, and it was even shallow enough where we could even just relax and watch from the shore. The house and property itself was also immaculate. We truly felt at home here and we wish we could have stayed longer! Julie was absolutely fantastic! The communication was great, she was always available and helpful with anything we might have needed. We actually left a pair of glasses and she even shipped them back for us. Truly such a sweet and wonderful woman. We would absolutely rent here again! If you are between a few properties, choose this one, you won’t regret it!

Perfect vacation
Julie's home is beautiful and has everything you could ever want in a vacation home. The kids were in the water most of the day, the shallow depth was perfect for them. As for the adults, we had so many places to relax - the deck, the beach, the fire pit, and the floating lounge chairs. Other than getting our groceries, we rarely left the property, we had such a great time. I highly recommend Julie's home!
