An amazing Labor Day weekend!

If you are looking for a rental that literally has everything except your clothes, then this is it! There was nothing we needed that this property didn’t have—and there were 10 of us (some needier than others…) The house was cute, the location was serene, and the lake was perfect. Such a fun getaway for our group of 4 adults and 6 kids (ages 8-14). Everyone was kept busy with fishing, swimming, boating and relaxing by the firepit. It was the best way to close out our summer, and Lori was a great host! Would highly recommend!

Family + Fun = Memories

Our stay at The Huckleberry House was Pure Michigan. Loving everything that Dewey Lake had to offer, we even took time to visit the beaches of Lake Michigan. Huckleberry House had all the comforts of home. Lori, my family had an amazing time.

12th Anniversary Getaway

My husband & I, along with our dog, celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary with a trip to Huckleberry Lane & it was perfect! Early morning coffee on the deck, walks around the lake & fishing off the pier while enjoying all that nature had to offer on the channel. We also rented the pontoon which was definitely a nice add. We floated, made trips to the sand bar to cool off & watched the sunsets. The house was cute, comfortable & had all the accommodations needed. Lori was great at communicating with us. And we really enjoyed our stay.

So Impressed!

From start to finish, Lori and Huckleberry House impressed us! We immediately felt welcomed and comfortable. The cottage is extremely clean and furnished like a dream. Whatever we needed, Lori had on hand — from plenty of towels to the smallest safety pin for our daughter’s blouse. We will most definitely be back for a return visit!

Great Lake House with a wonderful host

Lori answered any questions we had along the way. The house was comfortable and felt like home away from home. We loved the screened porch in the mornings. We paid extra for the boat and the family loved it! It was well worth the extra cost. Thank you for letting us stay at your cute lake house!
