First Family Vacation

The guest house was perfect for our family stay. When we first got there, there was a sweet card and cocktail mixer to thank for booking. The home was very well maintained and stocked with all that was needed for our stay. The property was very clean. The view from the windows was gorgeous! Wonderful to be able to walk right out to the beach. It was quiet and comfortable during the evenings. Communication with the owner was very easy and gave detailed directions on getting to the home. She also allowed us to the deck during our stay for family meals as no one was in the main house. Thank you for the care and attention you give to the details and cleanliness of your home. Will be booking again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Laurie Brooks, Owner/Manager/Licensed Realtor®

Hello! My name is Laurie Brooks, property owner, manager & licensed Realtor®. My husband, Bob, and I have been enjoying Big Star Lake for nearly a decade as visitors, and now we are overjoyed to get to share this little slice of heaven with you. We've taken great care to provide an inviting and relaxing space to gather with friends and family. You're going to love it here!

Why they chose this property

Location. The beach is perfection, and the all-sports lake is great for fun activities as well as just relaxing near the calm waters. You will love the renovations made in May 2023 including a new full kitchen with granite island with seating for 4, new vinyl plank flooring, and new, comfy living room sectional. This house is the perfect little space for a small family, or friends get-away any time of year. Enjoy the amazing views of the wide-open beachfront from the upper-level living quarters, or ground floor screened-in porch.

What makes this property unique

Close to the city (75 minutes from Grand Rapids), and close to countless Northern Michigan attractions such as Lake Michigan, Traverse City Wine Country, Sleeping Bear Dunes scenic hikes, Crystal Mountain downhill skiing, and world-renowned fishing along the Manistee River.
