Beautiful view, tropical looking lake

Family took full advantage of the lake and all the toys. The huge kitchen windows offered a beautiful view of the lake and first thing in the morning the huge fire pit was enjoyed by all in the evening. They cooked many great meals in the beautiful kitchen.

Wonderful vacation house

Just returned from Dena and Mark’s home in Hillman and am still reviewing the great time we had. My husband and I, son, dil and his 4 kids, my daughter, sil and her 2 kids found lots of things to keep us busy on the lake. It is a clear, clean lake, with small beach and lots of water toys that we enjoyed. With ages 8-16, it is hard to find something for all but this home had that. And it was clean, updated and very well stocked! Thanks to Dena and Mark for a fun vacation!

Amazing property!

We have rented a number of properties on lakes throughout Michigan for our family vacations. This was by far our favorite. The house was so clean and well equipped, from the quality appliances to so many amenities, it’s far too much to mention. The lake and location also could not have been better. We had an incredible time and can’t wait to return next year. Thank you for being so responsive, maintaining such a welcoming home, and representing the best northern Michigan has to offer!

About the host

Hosted by Dena McMurray

We are the owners of this beautiful Lake Avalon home. Pictured are our 4 beautiful children ready to tube around the lake. We grew up in Hillman and I had the privilege of growing up on the other side of the lake. I have always loved this lake, but didn't realize how special and rare a lake like this was until we moved away from the area. We spent many years in Berkley, MI and currently reside in Clarkston, MI. On the weeks that we do not have the opportunity to use our lake home, we are renting it to others so they may too experience this amazing lake and create life-long memories at this truly special place!
