Great communication from the host. There was a tornado siren/warning while we were there and someone popped by to ensure we knew what to do in case of emergency. Beautiful location right on the lake where we watched the geese, and the ice melt away! Perfect if visiting Hillsdale College - just a bit outside town, great privacy.

We had very good communication with the hostess and she was always very helpful. The property probably is better for summer since it has accessibility to the lake.

Great Lake house with so many water toys!

We had a great time, the cabin was right on the water as promised and the lake was beautiful. There were so many water toys for all of us including a kayak, canoe, huge floating mats and more. Diana is a wonderful host and we definitely recommend her and her charming lake house!

Amazing Lake House!!

Everything about our stay was absolutely wonderful! Diana was a fantastic host who was super quick at communicating with us and very helpful! The lake house was in a lovely and peaceful location. There was so much provided for us to use, which meant our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our time on the lake. The house itself was extremely clean and very well stocked, it truly had everything we needed for our stay! It's a beautiful and quiet spot that is perfect for relaxing or playing on the lake. We never wanted to leave and hope to stay longer next year!

Our family of 5 (and our dog) had a wonderful time at this lake house in Osseo, MI. We fished, swam, kayaked, grilled, played yard games, roasted marshmallows by the bon fire, and soaked up the beautiful view of the lake. This is a fabulous property. The home was clean, well maintained, and as described… very nice kitchen and bathrooms. The extra space in the converted garage with couches, TV, and games was much appreciated. The shed was stocked with yard games, floats (including large “lily pad” float, fishing poles, chairs, etc. The location and view of the lake can’t be beat. Our family vacation in this home was relaxing and fun. We definitely recommend this rental.
