Perfect blend of access to both lake and shopping. This was the most well appointed and equipped VRBO I've ever stayed at. It was like coming home to Mom's house where everything you needed was right where you expected it, and it was all planned for your comfortable stay. Super clean, and just a lovely place inside and out.

Nice roomy cottage

We were looking for a place to spend some time near our family in Michigan during the holidays. The cottage was a great fit and in a great location. It had everything we needed and more. Much more pleasant than staying in multiple rooms at a hotel

Lake Chemung Property

The owners were super. The property was well stocked with anything you think you need and then some. The fence around the property was super, we have a puppy and she has not had the pleasure of roaming free, except at dog parks. Grandkids came over and absolutely loved going for boat rides, swimming in the lake and bonfires with s’mores. Would love to go back next year and maybe stay a bit longer.

Fantastic lake house

I was visiting family in Michigan and wanted to experience a lake house weekend like when I was a kid. This place was perfect for that. Great location close to Lansing or Detroit, while still feeling away from the city. Beautiful lot with a great back deck, fenced in back yard, swimmable beach, and boat deck. I was able to rent a boat during my trip, which was fun to get out on the lake. And we loved sitting on the back deck during sunset, enjoying the outdoors and watching the fireflies. Inside there is plenty of space for a family vacation. Lots of bed space and plenty of bathrooms. The home also had everything you need to feel at home yourself. Checkin was easy. Communication fantastic. I highly recommended this lake house.

Abundance of greatness

Sandra was the perfect host. The house was very clean and had way more supplies than any house I’ve ever stayed in. The fenced in yard (make sure the driveway gate is closed) was a relief from having to worry about the dogs. Beds were all very comfy as were the pillows. Water pressure in the shower is amazing and had enough hot water for a family of 5. The kids loved fishing off of the dock, racing the RC boat, and floating on the lake. There was even an extra fishing pole there. We had plenty of room for yard games. The neighbors on one side are residents and are very welcoming. The house on the other side is also a rental but was empty while we were there. The deck was my favorite place to be. Two tables with a total of 6 chairs, two comfy wicker chairs (one rocks) and an amazing rocking loveseat. The lights around the deck at night were so romantic. Note: bring lots of bug spray. I brought a small electric bug repellent device and we sprayed ourselves and made it out with minimal bites. Can’t say enough to really tell you how great it was. All I can say is we will be back for sure!

We fell in love with North Shore House! Everything about it felt welcoming and cozy and it was very well supplied. Sandra and Rob are gracious hosts, going above and beyond to accommodate us. Communication with them was outstanding! Fishing is best if you can get out onto the lake. Wilson Marine rents pontoon boats only, they are on lake Chemung. The Howell-Brighton area has all the familiar stores and restaurants as well as small, quaint businesses. I definitely recommend staying here. We didn’t want to leave!

Pretty Lake Front Stay

Pretty property overlooking a smallish lake. Nice backyard. We very much appreciated the back yard and neighborhood for walking our dog. And although he is not a water dog, he enjoyed being out back and watching the "goings on" at the lake: the fishing, the ducks, etc. The property was very comfortable for our 4 day stay.

The Northshore House was exactly as described in the listing. Plenty of room for three adults, two kids and two dogs. Great views from all rooms and nice size backyard. Lake was perfect for swimming from the small beach area or the dock. Owner was great to deal with. Check in and out process very easy. Highly recommend.

Wonderful quiet neighborhood

Wonderful place right off of the highway. Sandra had anticipated all of our needs (and our dog's needs). Only thing that would have made the stay better would be some kayaks to explore the lake. House is starting to show it's age a little (the cabinet front was starting to fall off on one of the cabinets) but I'm sure Sandra will be sure to take care of it ASAP. Would 1000% stay here again.

Fenced in yard is perfect for a dog. Great golf courses within a 25 minute drive. We would definitely stay here again!
