This place is a hidden gem. It is big and spacious, clean and open and sits on a beautiful lake. My family and I came for a family reunion in the area, and enjoyed the beach and the bonfire and I highly recommend this place. Our family has stayed here multiple times and look forward to the next one!

Had an amazing family vacation! The house was great and the private beach area with dock was a hit. Paddle boards and kayaks made each day even better exploring the lake and fishing. Only improvement suggestion would be adding a tv in the living room by the kitchen to help entertain kids with cartoons early in the morning while making breakfast. Absolutely amazing experience and can’t wait to return!

Place is exactly as described! My family and I had a wonderful weekend staying here! Although the weather was terrible except for the last day, of course it was a beautiful day, but the owner agreed to us checking out a few hours later to allow us to enjoy the lake and sun!! Great communication and the place really is like a little resort town. Having our own private dock and all the kayaks and paddle boards they had available was truly amazing!! 100% recommend this place!!

Perfect Place to stay to visit family

Really enjoyed the place, very clean and lots of activity options for my wife and our four kids. My parents have a cabin near Chain Lake so the location was great also. Definitely recommend!

Second visit!

Love staying here. The lake is clean and not too deep where they are located. The kids loved playing on the beach and kayaking. Communication with the owner has always been quick and accommodating. Super clean and homey.

It was a perfect vacation getaway. The beach was in great shape but the lake had a lot of seaweed at the end of the deck. The homeowner was very interactive when we had a small issue, had someone there in minutes to fix it

Dearing Vacation

We enjoyed our stay very much. However, there were a couple small items such as a can opener that wasn’t available.And some plastic ware would be nice for leftovers. But we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the feedback. We do provide a limited supply of ziplock bags and can add a few more. There is a manual can opener in the utensils drawer but an electric one is a great idea. Hope you will visit again!

Wonderful lakefront rental

This property was incredibly clean and well stocked. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into what could make the stay most enjoyable. We had a group of 10 and felt like we had ample space, especially for sleeping. The lake and neighborhood are pretty quiet, which was great. The owner was very easy to communicate with.

Perfect!

We had such a great time at Loonrising! The property has tons of space, beds, and recreational activities like Kayaking and fishing. The lake is perfect for a family vacation. Robert went out of his way to make our stay just as we’d hoped. Even the neighbors were welcoming. Would love to come back! Thank you SO much!

A wonderful visit!

The home is lovely and as portrayed! It is spacious and the 7 of us (5 children) had plenty of room! We would have reserved for next summer but unfortunately the availability conflicts with schedules. The lake is very pretty and nice for young children! Beautiful morning sunrises! Thank you!

Beautiful location on the lake

Nice place right on the lake with a yard, nice fire pit area, and a sandy beach. We used the kayaks all day everyday exploring the lake. The house had everything we needed and plenty of room for our large group to spread out. Our only complaint was the fridge was on the fritz and we lost a lot of meat and cheese but the owner was responsive and tried to get it fixed right away.

Clean house with kayaks and canoe

Super easy check in, house was clean, loved using the canoe and 4 kayaks. Some of the neighbors (3 houses away) were very loud, but some of that is to be expected on a holiday weekend. Overall, a very good experience.

Perfect lake vacation

This was an incredible week to connect with our growing family. Clean, comfortable & spacious home. Plenty of activities to do both at the lake and in the surrounding area. We didn’t need to contact the owners during our stay because there was no reason to. Communication both before our arrival and at check out was met with a prompt reply. Highly recommend!!

Loon Rising Visit May 2024

My family and I had a great time and enjoyed all the amenities the property had to offer. This was only my 2nd time using a rental property and if they all go as well as this one I will certainly be more inclined in the future. Loon Rising is a great place if you need somewhere to stay in the area that has many extras like home that a hotel cannot offer. We had fun exploring the area as well taking in West Branch, and a day trip over to the pier on Lake Huron.

This is our second year at Loon Rising. Everything was great yet again! We had some unforseen family complications that impacted our trip, and Robert was so very understanding and worked with us on some last minute trip changes. I can't thank you enough! The only thing I have to suggest, add some new markers, we used pen to update the vacation wall!! Hopefully we will be back again some day!
