Our stay was wonderful! The home is incredibly clean and cozy—perfect for a lake getaway and close to tons of places we wanted to visit during our Michigan vacation. Our favorite parts were kayaking and swimming on Bear lake and the spectacular sunsets every night. The neighbors are incredibly nice and the neighborhood itself is so quiet and peaceful. We loved the fire pit in the evening and then being able to get comfy on the couch and watch TV. It was perfect and Kathy is an excellent host. Highly recommend this vacation rental!
