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.

We wanted a laid back weekend and it was perfect! The house is very clean and spacious, the view of the lake was beautiful, I brought my 2 golden retrievers and they enjoyed it as much as I did, the fenced yard was great! Looking forward to renting it again next summer!

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.

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

Cozy lake house close to Ann Arbor

We stayed here for my niece’s graduation. We had fun exploring Howell, Ann Arbor and Northville. The deck has a lovely view of the lake and it is a great place to kick back. The kitchen is well appointed but there are plenty of good restaurants nearby.

Great Lake House

We spent four nights ( 2 adult couples) and our dog for a lake/golf long weekend. House was perfect for our stay. Kitchen has spices, aluminum foil etc. Great access to the water with your own dock. Fenced in yard is perfect for a dog. Great golf courses within a 25 minute drive. We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent Location on Lake

We had a great time at the lake house. We sat on the deck and enjoyed wildlife on the lake. The house was fully stocked with towels, nice pans (so grateful for an excellent skillet!) and even a hair dryer. It was wonderful to come home with clean clothes, great washer and dryer! Wonderful time, thank you!

Just as described

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.

Magical Lake House

We were so fortunate to stay at this lovely lake house for over two months while our house was under construction. From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. The decorations and amenities are so well done and thought out, the stay could not be more comfortable. The fenced in yard (lakeside included) was such a plus having two small dogs and a toddler. We truly loved everything about this stay.
