We enjoyed our time at white lake. Everything you need is close by and it is a nice neighborhood to walk around. I also appreciated that Tia has made efforts to make the property kid friendly
We had a great time fishing off the dock and taking the kayaks and peddle boat out on the lake. The house was perfect. Everything was clean and easy. We were able to just enjoy our time there without worries.
This place was really awesome. It was cozy, had everything we needed and some extras! The pontoon rental availability is very convenient. The property was so incredible, it felt like we were up north experiencing lake life, the kids absolutely loved it! Will definitely rent again, the owners were incredibly kind, attentive and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect for our entire stay! 10/10 experience for sure!
We stayed at this lake house with my brother’s family. 10 of us total. It was a perfect weekend. Plenty of space, easy check in/out, prompt responses from owners. We rented their pontoon as well, which I recommend…lake is fun to cruise around.Highly recommend staying here.
Fantastic Family Reunion! Tia was quick, friendly, and helpful with any questions. Home was well furnished and clean. Beds & linens comfy and fresh. Blankets soft and cozy for the cold weather. Lots of decent pots, cookware, plates, etc. House layout great with thoughtful choice of # of beds and sizes. Beautiful windows for view over water. Excellent big table for family games (lots of choices games/books provided!) Lots of parking when extended family came for dinner. Overall everyone was very impressed with this property. We would definitely book again! :)

Beth, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so happy the gathering with your family was pleasant and the home worked well. Please come back to visit us again!

House and beach were great. Lots of room for big group. Checkout policy a bit too much (wash and dry beach towels and empty dishwasher). Beds were comfortable and tvs in every room. Kids bunk room had lots of toys and games.
Our family had a great time! Place was clean and spacious. We had lots to do with all the outdoor activities! One thing I would say is that the main room gets warm if you leave all the curtains open, the sun beats down in there. So if you close them up during the day it stays much cooler. Would definitely stay again!
Wow how beautiful the location and views even in mid March. Loved the pet pen to easily and safely let out the our pup. Our max # was 11 but loved if that more could stay if needed...pullout couch. Open living design made it easy for at least 30 people in doors...the house was great!
This lakehouse was well suited for the 11 members of our family. The large dining room table accommodated our meals and was used for games and cards during some rainy weather. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean; the kitchen was well equipped. Some of the furnishings and contents were dated, but functional for all.
Nicely appointed home with lots of great hiking nearby
After a few college visits, we extended our MI trip to include the weekend. Very much enjoyed our family time here. If you are planning on doing a lot of meal prep, we could have benefitted from packing a baking dish, mixing bowl, garlic press and wine glasses. Definitely pack paper towels and garbage bags. On our last night we were set to grill out but found a prior guest had used the grill as an ash tray and the grates were pretty rusty so we relocated our cooking endeavors inside. Regardless, the house and location did not disappoint and we’d stay again. Enjoyed Indian Springs Metro Park and Independence Oaks.
We're sorry that you feel that way, Stefan. Unfortunately, this is not an accurate portrayal of events. You attempted to cancel the evening before you arrived, which goes against any vacation rental policy. We reached out to you in an attempt to accommodate your situation. You would not reply. We had no idea if you were still coming? This put us in a precarious situation. We could not cancel your reservation, but we could not give your your reservation away either. What were we to do? In fact, we never did hear back from you at all until you posted this completely unfair and untrue review.

Property Review
Overall, it was exactly what we were looking for. A couple of small issues.
There were large ants in the main bathroom.
The large pontoon boat under the only tree in the backyard that provided shade was not ideal.
The grill is a disaster waiting to happen. The bottom is literally rusted out right above the propane tank.

We're happy that our home was what you were looking for and we thank you for letting us know about your issues. We only would've hoped that you would've let us know before now and then we could've rectified them for you. We will get an exterminator out there right away. We will replace the grill tomorrow. We could've moved the boat for you. Please come see us again!
We were in town for my father’s funeral and all communication and booking process were great. However, when we arrived there was a distinct pet urine smell in and around the bunkbed room and bathroom that permeated throughout. We opened all the windows and turned on fans to air it out. Then as we tucked into bed my sister in law tucked her face into the master/king bed and the comforter wreaked of pet urine. Swapped that out immediately. Additionally, the oven desperately needs to be cleaned and there was a soapy taste in many of the drinking glasses. The internet and cable were also spotty.

Bridget,
We’re truly sorry to hear about your issues during your stay and wish you had reached out while you were here so we could have addressed them immediately. Guest satisfaction is our top priority, and we take all feedback seriously. That said, we were genuinely surprised by your concerns, as we have never encountered these issues before.
Cleanliness is something that we take very seriously, and our homes are thoroughly inspected before each guest's arrival. The mention of a urine smell and comforter issue was especially unexpected, given that several comforters, including the one in question, were brand new before your stay. Had there been any indication of an odor during our walk-through, we would have taken care of it right away.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will carefully look into these matters to ensure our high standards are maintained.

Benign neglect needs TLC and upgrades
Good location, great fishing. The living room is unusable if temp go over 80, gets very hot because no curtains on the upper windows and no A/C registers in the room. Teflon coming off pots for cooking, All mattresses need replacement as they are worn out. Property is on well water. Bring bottled water for drinking, brushing. Only one person can shower at a time because water pressure is poor. Grill bottom is rusted out do not use as flames are right above propane tank.

We would hope that our more reasonable future guests will take this review with a grain of salt, especially when compared to our dozens of previous reviews. You know what they say... some people just cannot be pleased. Not once during their stay did these guests contact us about any issues. We actually reached out to them, and never (to this day) heard back from them directly. As you can see from our previous reviews, we pride ourselves on being able to resolve any issues that our guests may encounter. Given the chance, we could have helped the guests locate the (not one, but two) registers in the living room that were covered by furniture that had been moved? And maybe we could have inspected the brand new (this year) pots and pans that were missing Teflon? The property is on well water, which is made very apparent before renting. However, we recently installed a brand new, top of the line, water softener... and have had nothing but great feedback. The grill is in it's 2nd season and due to be replaced during the upcoming off season. However, it is in working order and we could not find any safety issues. This is the first ever opinion mentioning any worn out mattresses or poor water pressure. Both of which have been investigated since and cannot find any issues. If they had just contacted us before this ludicrous review, we could have helped.
In our subsequent review of Karen and her guests to VRBO… we’ll be sure to mention her strong opinions.
The property was simply perfect for our needs. We had 12 adults on a golf trip and required spots for all to sleep and a large room for meals and game time. This spot was everything we could have asked for. One small complaint...............might be time for a new coffee maker. All than that, it was great!
We spent the weekend going to the UofM game and a Tigers game. Great place to come back to for the night to spend family time and rest. Owners were fast to answer with questions we had. Very clean!
