A great find!! The house was perfect for our family of 5 adults and one little 'un. I was also impressed with the communications with the host and with the well-stocked kitchen. We've stayed at many VRBO properties and this one was one of the best. Thank you Katie for a wonderful stay.
This is the perfect place to stay for a family with kids and/or a large group. There were so many extra amenities (like the makings for s’mores), it was clean, cozy, provided beautiful views of the lake, and the host was extremely responsive and accommodating.
We had a nice stay here at the home on the lake! It was close to to family that lives in a Orion Township. Great location, very clean and comfortable! Will be staying here again for sure!!
We stayed a weekend here with 6 women. It was a cozy home, great location, and the host was communicative. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and paddle boat. The view was lovely and we were comfortable all weekend.
This property is gorgeous! Felt like home the minute we walked in the door. Clean and inviting. The host is very engaging and available if you need. Loved the small things like the surprise gift! The items provided that in other rentals we’ve stayed in we’ve had to bring. Lots of space. Plenty of privacy for a family with adult children. Small children would have a blast as well. Playhouse in the yard, toys, books, foosball table. We enjoyed the kayaks and peddle boat. Saw swans and herons and ducks right from the deck! Fire in the backyard with s’mores. Check out was easy too. No bed stripping laundry starting. The host truly wants you to have a vacation! Would most definitely stay here again.
