This was a yearly family get together for my adult kids and grandkids and us. The house was exactly as described. Very well stocked with towels and shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Also had some firewood to use. The garage was the best part as the 2year olds loved all the toys in the bunkhouse to play with and alot of room for them to run around. We enjoyed the beach area also. Renee was great to communicate with from the time I booked the place almost a year earlier till after we check out. Would book this again but we are going to try another one of her homes for next year.

We had a great stay overall. The beach and kayaks were incredible. If you are one family it's a little annoying going back and forth between the garage And main house though we knew this from the beginning so it's not on them. I think to say that it sleeps 16 people is a little bit of a stretch. The outdoor spaces were well furnished too. The one thing I wish we realized in advance was that the water was very hard so we had to buy water which overall was not a big deal - a few dollars for a few gallons of water and we were all set, just something I wish we knew in advance. But overall it was a great and fun stay for adults and kids

We were an extended family of 14, house was as described. Game room was great for grandkids, but their favorite spot was the beach. They spent hours playing and building there. We also loved the fishing. Lots of little catches. Outside areas were wonderful. Great communication with the manager for any issues. My only complaint is that there is absolutely no space to store the food you bring. And with 14 of us and 5 of which were kids under 10. We had a lot of food. Fridge space was fine (2 of them) I had to make a “pantry” in the dining room with the bench from the end of the main bedroom bed. So maybe some shelving behind the main bedroom door would be a good addition. Otherwise we had a wonderful time and made great memories.

Beautiful house and gaming garage. The decor was so peaceful and the house was stocked well with kitchen items and cooking needs. The shed has many sand toys and even a bike that worked great for my 8 year old granddaughter. There is also a balance bike too. The kids enjoyed the inflatable bounce house as well. There is plenty of out side seating. There is a kayak and 3 paddleboards available for use as well. The gaming garage has a beautiful bathroom and bunk room with lots of toys for the kids. The bigger part of the garage has lots of games for the adults and a full size fridge. The giant sectional was so nice ! The lake water is low but did not stop the paddleboarding or kayaking. We also had fun fishing. There are a lot of poles in the shed as well.Very peaceful and quiet neighborhood and lake.Any questions I had were quickly answered by the host and she even spent much time with me trying to figure out an issue I had with one of the tvs.

Very communicative host. Nice detached garage with plenty of activities. I feel we were mislead as to the bed sitation. There were trundle beds underneath the beds in n bedrooms of main house but no room to actually pull them out. I guess they could technically fit but there would be no room for anything else and i don't know how you'd walk around them. I would say the main house would only sleep 8 comfortably and the bunk house 6. The main house was also very small.

Hello Jess! I am so sorry you feel you were misled. We do our best to describe each bedroom and the accommodations for our guests prior to their booking. We have the trundle beds in place as many of our guests enjoy using them for their children to be able to sleep in the same room, etc. When I checked in with you after your first night, your response was that everything was "perfect" so I had no idea that you were unhappy or feeling that way. Again, I am sorry that you feel like you were misled, that is absolutely never our intention and we take pride in providing clear listings and descriptions to ensure that the space will work well for any guests, before they book. The last thing we ever want is for anyone to be disappointed, we work very hard to ensure that is not the case. We wish you and your group all the best!

Matriarch Milestone Birthday

We treated our mom to a weekend getaway and family party for her 80th birthday. This property was perfect for 7 adults to stay for 3 nights. The mattresses were extremely comfortable, even the bunk beds in the kids room were great for adults. The garage was ideal for the family celebration on one of the days. We loved all of the different outdoor seating areas and all were used. We found everything we needed in the kitchen for dinner prep. We enjoyed the kayaks and fished off the shore. The amount of seating around the fire pit was great. The owners were quick to respond to questions or issues. The only problem we had was connecting to football games using the owner's YouTube TV account so we used our own account. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Relaxing stay with lots of Amenities

We had 10 family members. This house had everything we needed. Lots of different spaces indoor and out for playing, relaxing and eating. The gameroom/1 bedroom/1 bathroom are in a separate building, the garage. This was perfect for the 3 teen boys. We brought our 4 kayaks and also enjoyed the two paddleboards and sit on kayaks. We swam and played games and slept in. We played cornhole and grilled a couple of times. My son borrowed the fishing rods from the shed and we got bait. The fishing was great! The lake sprayed herbicide along the banks one of the days and we had to stay out of the water for 24 hours. They also spray for mosquitos. We went to a nature preserve one day and into Lake Huron another. We went to some outlets nearby and into town for breakfast and shopping. Any questions or issues we had were promptly addressed by the manager.

The bedrooms in the main house were very small and the trundle could not be pulled out unless the furniture was removed from the room. We went by the information on the VRBO website and it did not include any information about the dam failure and the dock being ten feet above the ground and rocks below as it did not extend into the water. I understand the dam will be repaired by summer 2026 and then the area will be safer and allow access. I suggest repairing the rotten boards on the dock as this will be a future safety concern. I also plead for future renters that you remove the decorative pillows which were excessive and needed to be stored in the master bedroom as there was no where to put them. Stacking them in the corner of the master bedroom, piled three quarters of the way to the ceiling
