Lovely spot
I had a lovely stay with my 2 kids and their spouses. Tia was an incredible hostess. Taking care of all our needs. The lake was lovely and kayaking with the swans was a treat. A nice kitchen.

Do not hesitate to grab onto this property host was absolutely amazing went above and beyond to make sure our stay was everything we wanted! We booked same day reservations with no issues at all. Thanks again!!!!
This house was perfect. Clean, well-equipped and roomy. Maybe because early spring, we were concerned about the fecal matter left by families of swans and geese who were present on the beach when we arrived. We did however enjoy the lovely view and paddle boat.
The host was wonderful! Our original VRBO host cancelled on us last minute due to property repairs and this home’s host Tia came in for the holiday rescue! The house layout was great for hosting our family Christmas get together! Plenty of space and bathrooms! It was wonderful to wake up to the lake in the morning! We will definitely be booking this every other year when we come to Michigan to visit family for Christmas!
We are very saddened that this happened to your group. We put a plug-in camera in the kitchen in plain sight to secure the home if there is a long length of time between guests. When you arrived and you reached out to us about the camera left behind, and we explained the mistake, you seemed satisfied with our response and with placing the camera in the drawer. We were surprised to see this review especially after the issue was handled and you continued to stay in the home without incident days after you found the camera. Again, we are very sorry that this happened to one of our guests. We will not be using indoor security at our homes in the future.
The oven was extremely dirty and obviously had not been cleaned in over a year if not longer. The blanket in the master bedroom had dried up snot. I had to deep clean the oven in order to use it for Thanksgiving dinner which took me almost 2 hours. Also ended washing the sheets/blankets in the master room.
The view of the lake was very nice and quiet. We had to pick up animal feces in the back yard because my grandchildren went out and stepped on poop. Disgusting

Ana, thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear your experience did not meet your expectations. We take great pride in maintaining our homes to the highest standards, and in 12 years of hosting across many properties, we’ve never received a complaint regarding cleanliness.
As this is a lake house, outdoor challenges like goose feces can unfortunately occur despite our best efforts. We appreciate your understanding of this natural aspect of the environment.
Unfortunately, we were not made aware of any issues during your stay. We encourage guests to contact us immediately if concerns arise, as seen in our many positive reviews. Without notification, we were unable to assist you.
Additionally, upon your departure we noticed that standard check-out procedures were not followed. These guidelines help us maintain our high standards and ensure a smooth experience for all our guests.
We value your feedback and wish you all the best in your future travels.

Good family stay with some drawbacks
We had a family stay here (3 couples, 5 kids 5 or under) over Thanksgiving that mostly went pretty well. The rooms were comfortable, technology worked for the most part and kitchen had just about everything we needed. The main downside for us was that the master bedroom upstairs had a large cutout in the wall so the sound traveled up from the living room. This made it challenging for the adults downstairs to enjoy ourselves at night without worrying we'd wake up the kiddos (which we did several times). The other downside for us was that the water in the house is VERY hard well water. With each shower, or extended time spent washing dishes, the stinky sulfuric smell from the water was pretty overpowering. If these are not things that bother you, I'm sure you'll have a great visit but ours was just OK for those reasons.

We must apologize for the water smell. After you had checked out, the cleaners mentioned this same issue. We discovered that the water softener had seized up. We replaced it right away. We do wish that you had mentioned this issue during your stay, and we could have rectified it right away. We hope that you consider giving us another chance. We are sure that you'll find the water much nicer.
Thank you for choosing our home!!

We needed a place to stay while we were moving to Detroit area. We had a great experience being at Tias lake house. Great R&T between packing up our house and getting the delivery of our stuff.
Accommodated our needs, but property a little tired
Property owners were very good to work with and were responsive. Kitchen was well stocked, too. We appreciated being able to bring our dog and the easy rental of the pontoon boat. As stated, our needs were met, however the couches, beds, upstairs bathroom and pontoon are tired. Am sure the property has been used by many and is popular, but a refresh of these areas would be appreciated.
This was a great property and really easy to enjoy! Right on the lake and accessible! Kayaks were available and allowed us to enjoy the lake. I am a runner and was able to get my miles in daily throughout the neighborhood while feeling safe. Our children absolutely loved the lake and spent the entire day in the water. We were also able to go fishing and catch some little fish. They were put back in the water, but the kids absolutely loved the whole experience! I am definitely marking this house as one we would love to visit again. Thank you to the owners for being so accessible and available. We absolutely enjoyed our week.
Our family of four enjoyed our stay right on the lake. The kids spent hours in the water! Our fur kiddo loved daily swims in the kayak. Thanks for sharing your home!
