Thank you Jason for the kind review! We enjoyed hosting your group and hope you will come back and stay at our home again!
We had a great time visiting this property! We had a newborn traveling with us so this area was perfect with the shade from the trees and tons of sand for my other kids to play in! The house was exactly what we needed in terms of quaintness and privacy! Dawn communicated with us every step of the way and we already booked another trip for next year!

We needed a place over the week ofJuly 4th at the last minute and this met our needs. The kayaks were great and the lake was lovely. Our days were spent reading, playing games and popping in and out of the kayaks.

The place was perfect. Great location for day trips to Mackinaw Island & Traverse City. It had everything we needed. Loved the fall decor touches and s’mores kit! The sunrises with coffee were stunning. The dock, kayaks, and fire pit made for an awesome chillax day!

Thank you Doug for the kind review! We really enjoyed having you at our lake house and look forward to having you back in the future!
We had a great week at the home. The couple of issues that we had were immediately resolved by Dawn and her husband. The lake access was perfect and they had everything we needed in the home
Updated nicely, owner was great to work with. We went up to snowmobile and the trail is right down the street. Drive can hold many trailers and/or cars. I would recommend this house to everyone.

Thank you Brad for staying at our lake house, we would love to have you come back again in the future!
This was our 2nd stay at this property, 2 weeks this time with family on the lake. Easy rentals of pontoon boat, jet ski, etc and kayaks available at the property. Good BBQ grill on the deck, possibly the best stocked property we’ve stayed at - extra propane tank, almost every appliance you could ask for, plenty of dishes & kitchen gadgets and super clean. We had a small problem with a kitchen sink leak and the owners jumped on it immediately. This is a no-worry property- highly recommend!
