60th Birthday Weekend

Hi Claudia. I just want to thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage with my siblings and I this weekend. We had a wonderful time together. We had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The lake was beautiful! We loved listening to the waves rolling in. The weather was great, sunny and warm. We went to Mass at The Cross in the Woods. Traveled to Leggs Inn for Sunday dinner. Visited a couple wineries. Just relaxed . Thank you so very much. Claire

Wonderful Stay

The host Claudia was wonerful, she answered all our questions prior to our stay in a timely matter, it was super easy to enter the cottage, it was very clean and everything we hoped for when we arrived for a weeks stay. The cottage has everything you need for meals, plenty of room and a great location on the water and only a few minute ride to Indian river. Our grandchuldren had a blast playing on the beach in front of the cottage along with camp fires under the stars in the evenings. I would highly recommend Claudia's cottage for a families who want to enjoy the beauty of Mullet Lake. Thanks Claudia, we hope to return in the years ahead.

Excellent House for a Northern Michigan Vacation

The 'Vala Villa' was the perfect backdrop for our family's annual vacation. The house exceeded our expectations and provided us exactly what we were looking for, and more. The spacious, open floor plan in the kitchen/dining room/living room made it easy to have everyone involved in the conversation and meals. The kitchen was stocked with any pot, pan, or accessory you could want. The views out to the lake from the house, including the three-seasons room, were fantastic. The dock was in excellent condition and provided enough room for sun bathing and lake activities for multiple people. The lake itself is a little rocky close to shore, but very sandy if you walk a few more feet out. Not to mention it's very shallow and makes for easy enjoyment. The fire pit right on the shore provided excellent views while watching the lake. An added bonus was the shed out front with inflatables, bikes, toys, etc. The house itself is a short drive off of I-75, which made taking off for day trips very easy. Overall, I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for comfy, spacious accommodations that will have everything you need.

About the host

Hosted by Claudia Vala

n 1963, John and Helen Vala loaded up their six children and their Springer Spaniel, Babs, into their station wagon and headed north 325 miles to a cottage on Grandview Beach right on the shores of Mullett Lake. That first visit to Grandview Beach was magical for our family, and my parents purchased that quaint two-bedroom cottage shortly after. The cottage has been in the family ever since. John and Helen named the place Vala’s Villa as a tongue and cheek title for the very modest summer home. We spent entire summers here; leaving the day school got out and heading back down to Detroit on Labor Day weekend. We treasure the memories of those days: being on the water sunup to sundown, boating, fishing, biking, hiking, swimming, and socializing with all the other families on the beach amidst the beautiful backdrop of pristine waters, grand trees, and bountiful birds and forest creatures.

The quaint two bedroom cottage is now an updated four-bedroom summer home. After countless cherished memories made by a big family and our friends, I am now the proud owner of Vala’s Villa with my sister and daughter. Our two families cannot utilize the cottage to the extent we would like, and we would love to share this wonderful space with other families looking to experience the joys of Northern Michigan. We hope during your stay that you experience the same magic here as our family has over the years.

Why they chose this property

Enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the lake, or bring your boat and have fun in the sun at our beautiful lakeside cottage. The cottage includes 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths with space enough for 10 to sleep comfortably. We are located just 5 minutes from quaint Indian River, and 30 minutes from the Mackinaw Bridge.

What makes this property unique

We are 30 minutes or less from other area attractions such as Mackinaw Bridge, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Cheboygan with lots of activities for all ages. There are restaurants, ice cream shops, boat rentals just a short car ride away or you can just watch the eagles, sandhill cranes, hummingbirds and more while you swing on the hammock.
