THE 19TH ANNUAL SMITH FISHING TRIP

Had an excellent vacation 12-19 Sep 2020 on S. Manistique Lake in Curtis/Gould City, MI. Kevin and Tammy Vajen have a beautiful home on the lake. We enjoyed the accommodations provided, enjoyed the pontoon listening to music and catching fish , played cards, traveled to both downtown areas, and had many laughs. Great retreat from the city and work! Looking forward to the 20TH ANNUAL SMITH FISHING TRIP in 2021!!

Beautiful, Clean, and Comfortable

My wife and I just finished a 5-day stay with our adult children. What a gorgeous place! Everything we had hoped for. Clean, comfortable, and spacious. Great open-concept kitchen/dining/living area with beautiful lake views. Comfy beds and private bath in each of the 3 bedrooms. Really nice laundry room. The weather even cooperated and nature provided some stunning sunsets. Perfectly situated to visit Tahquemenon, Pictured Rocks, and the Seney Wildlife Refuge. Communication with Kevin was excellent. Will definitely stay again.

Love, love, love the place! Kevin was super accommodating. House was perfect. The big back patio was the best for the little bit of rain we had. The pontoon was a great. We love deep water swimming. Lake was not busy even for 4th of July week. Family caught a ton of fish, even had a fish dinner one of the nights. Beach was sandy, lots of water things to do. House is well stocked with kitchen utensils and spices. Even sugar, flour stuff like that. The Kuerig broke and Kevin bought one in town for us to pick up. Town of Curtis is the best. Cute shops, ice cream, pizza, drinks, and bait what more do you need. A hidden gem for sure!

May 2022 getaway

Since we had stayed here before, we new what to expect and we weren’t disappointed. Everything was clean and very comfortable and we caught fish when the wind wasn’t blowing to hard. There were baby robins that had hatched a few days before we got there and they were fun to watch getting fed by mom and dad. The pontoon boat was a great way for all of us to see the lake and it ran perfectly. We would definitely stay here again.

South Manistique Lake MI

It is next to impossible to find a better place to stay in the area. The house and grounds are very accommodating for families of all ages. There are plenty of beds and baths, a well stocked kitchen, and spacious living areas. The lake has a great bottom for swimming at the beachfront. The pontoon provides lake cruising and fishing. We have stayed here a few times and I would highly recommend it.

A great UP lake getaway

The house was perfect for a cozy retreat away. The dock was not out for our early April stay yet but in the summer with the dock and pontoon it would be an amazing waterfront vacation. Lake is shallow and sandy which is perfect for splashing around and cooling off. The small town of Curtis is close and had all the essential and trails for riding are close as well. Kevin was a great communicator and a dream to work with. 100% recommend this home for an anytime of year get away!

UP Fall Vacation

Beautiful home and decor with a wonderful view of the lake. Bedrooms upstairs are nicely decorated also. Large parking area which made it much easier to trailer in our off road side by side. Very nice pontoon for fishing or spending time on the lake. Stopped at Chet & Pat's Ice Cream in Curtis for very tasty soup and dessert. Moose du Nord in McMillan has great pizza, ice cream and coffee. Helmer House Inn in McMillan is a small restaurant selling baked goods and serving meals until 3 pm. Nice winery nearby at Germfask called End of the Road Winery. Enjoyed the nice relaxing time and fall colors.

Fantastic Fall location

Loved the house, view of the lake, the boat, the comfy beds. Well equipped kitchen. Very private. Great location to head in various directions for touring the UP. Only minor issue was internet stopped working every night. Signal was decent during the day most days. Would definitely rent again. Kevin very responsive to our questions before and during our trip.

Perfect UP Getaway

We absolutely loved this house and property! It was perfect for all ages (19months to 70+ year olds). The home has plenty of space, baths, and a great layout. The back deck has tons of seating and the ceiling fans were a welcome addition. The backyard is flat/kid friendly with easy in and out of the water. The use of the pontoon was a great perk to have and in excellent shape! The water is clean, has a sandy bottom, and shallow/perfect for kids to play in. The only thing you need to bring is paper products/towels/beach towels, otherwise the house is generously stock (kitchen has everything you could need). The communication with the owners was excellent and always prompt. BOOK IT NOW, don't miss out!!!
