A delightful Week on School Section Lake

We had a delightful week. There was something for everyone in our family - fishing, kayaking, paddleboat, reading, resting, wildlife watching and so on. The kitchen was well arranged to accommodate all our cooking. There was plenty of room to spread out and relax. The beds were wonderful, especially the memory foam king bed! Thanks to Mary and Andy for sharing their home.

Serenity

The house was awesome. We had 6 people and we all had our own space. The house is well-equipped and very clean. There are a lot of rules but that makes the lake very peaceful and quiet. We did have the refrigerator go out but they replaced it the same day. They are very responsive. We rented a tritoon from Charlies Marina in Pentwater delivered the boat and made the trip with tubing. The paddle boards were a favorite as there is quiet times with no wake and it was so relaxing to go around the lake. The only negatives were that we didn't catch many fish and things are far out so be prepared to drive if you want to go out to dinner or need supplies. Overall though a great place!

Wonderful for a relaxing getaway

This house and lakefront are even better than they appear in the listing. I was wondering if our group of seven would feel a little cramped in the house but it turned out that the living area on the main floor felt quite spacious, and having a second tv/game room on the lower level as well as a very nice deck (there are two decks but we didn't even use the lower one) made it very easy for everyone to feel they had plenty of room. The bedrooms were comfortable and the lake was gorgeous, had pleasantly warm water, and was a delight to swim and paddle board in. We would have loved for it to be about 15-20 minutes closer to a town with restaurants, an ice cream parlor, etc., which is the reason we gave it only 4 stars for location, but it wasn't a big problem at all and we would happily stay here again. The host was kind and easy to communicate with. She responded to us promptly when we had questions and the check in and check out process was clear and easy.
