Great place, lake and boat

We've made so many memories at Hess Lake! We loved the house, lake and boat. This was annual family trip and our 2nd time back at this home! The hot tub was a great addition this year.

Great Stay

The house was very clean and well setup. Owners were great. We stayed with a few families for a Michigan's Adventure trip (about a 40 min drive). Hess lake was the perfect spot to wind down after the park.

Great place for a family vacation!

Gorgeous lake house! We enjoyed every minute of our time here. We rented the pontoon boat, and the lake is perfect size for cruising around and parking at the sandbar, where we spent a few days swimming and throwing the football around. The kids caught lots of small catfish and perch right from the dock. And the lakeside fire pit and deck hot tub were used nightly. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
