.Big, fun. And big fun.
Place was great. Close to the highway, but far enough to be quiet. Big front yard, wood for campfire, nice hot tub, and huge swim spa for legit swimmers, which my kids treated like a pool. All-around great experience for our blended family of 7 and two dogs.

Such a magnificent get away for me and my five adult kiddos! Thanks for providing such a lovely well-stocked beautiful home for our most enjoyable time together! The pools are magnificent ! We spent so much time playing in the spa pool and soaking in the hot tub. The outdoor shower and fire pit was super fun. The porches are excellent with swings and comfy sitting spots! The garage was stocked with lake toys and chairs! Towels galore! The ping pong table, fooseball table and dart board provided way too much fun for six humans can have in friendly competition! The kitchen was abundantly stocked with great dishes and pots and pans, spices, bag of ice on fridge for beach cooler! They literally think of everything! Apparently they have a great label maker! We didn’t see it but we saw its work! This made it super easy to clean and return all things to the correct space. Check-in and check out was so simple! Minimal requirements for cleaning ! Literally so easy. Don’t even have to make a bed or even strip it down! Very responsive hosts! Convenient location with state parks, shores, and shopping and food nearby! I highly recommend this sweet home! Thanks Junioer! We will be booking for next year in a week or two! It is really that good! Thanks for the memories!

We had a great time at the house. It was very clean and plenty of space for a girls weekend in Michigan.Bit bummed by how warm it was upstairs, even with the fans running. And the temp on the swim spa wasn't working correctly and was stuck at 100 all weekend. (it was quite hot all weekend, but wished we could have had a more refreshing dip than solely hot tub temperature.

Great stay
Super great place. Rooms were big, living room and kitchen super comfy and large enough for our two family’s. Game room, hot tub, and outdoor amenities were spot on. *During this stay the property was under previous owner or management.*
