Our stay on platte lake

This property and the host was excellent. It was clean and well stocked and very comfortable. We would certainly visit again. There was room to park our 19 foot boat in the drive.

We enjoyed staying in this house, it was in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The house had all that we needed! The host was friendly and even cheerfully helped us when we locked ourselves out of the house! Its location is about 1/2 hour drive from many of the area’s attractions. We would stay here again if we return to the area.

Great Property on Platte Lake

The hosts were great communicators with us. The property was one of the cleanest VRBO's we have ever stayed at. The home was impeccable and close to conveniences if needed. Will stay there again if we are back in the area.

Great getaway more than expected

This was a great find for our family of 5! It had a downstairs that had a pullout sofa for our teenage daughter so she wasent stuck in the living room common area sleeping so that was a great surprise . The owner was above and beyond with any accommodations we needed . The rowboat with motor was small but great for little boat rides in the evening with the family you could fish as well ! Kids loved kayaking it was a nice quiet area not too congested at all . The neighborhood was perfect for morning runs or biking or evening walks not a lot of traffic going up and down the road . This house felt pretty spacious and had a nice fire pit outside to enjoy evening fires and a gas grill for bbqing . Everything looked to be recently done nice flooring showers/tubs vanity and kitchen was nicer than my one at home with newer appliances and fully stocked had about everything you could possibly need even a crockpot! Would 100% stay again and recommend to a family of 5-6 to stay here .

Oct say ar Platte Lk

The most equipped home we have ever stayed in. Kitchen was so well supplied we could have left a few things at home. Beds were very comfortable along with comfortable furniture including the couch in the living room with electric footrests. We enjoyed a couple fires in the portable firering and using the gas bbq. Ample wood split up. We didn’t expect the boat to have a motor and due to wind and cool temperatures we didnt use it. Although I didn’t perceive it by the photos there is drop and steep steeps at the shoreline and it’s very shallow until the end of the long dock. Probably a plus for younger kids to swim in the shallows. All in on a return trip should we consider this area of Michigan to visit soon again as we are from California. Thank you Scott and Julie for providing us and excellent visit with my brother and sister in law.

Lake platte

Property was great. Nice location, close to a lot of stuff including the beach. Kayaks were used. Awesome lake for that. Great communication with Scott and Julie , however the AC broke down a few days before we arrived, they let us now. We had high 80’s/low 90’s degree temps. They supplied us with fans. But hot is hot tho. Would stay again at this place again
