This place & the hosts were great!
I feel that the property was great! So many places for my whole family to enjoy together and alone! My 14 & 11 years old had many choices. My 4 yr twins & 70 year old aunt made themselves right at home.

Rustic cottage with modern amenities. Very enjoyable stay!
Throwback cottage with a lot of character. Great waterfront and sandy beach. Family and friends had a blast despite a couple days of crappy weather. All basic items were provided. All sorts of memorabilia to check out if you're inclined. The owners (Sara and Leslie) give the cottage a personal touch and were helpful and responsive.

Devils Lake Vacation
First I want to say that the location of the cottage is perfection! The lake is so clear at the dock and the trees allow just enough shade from the hot summer sun. The owners were welcoming and extremely responsive to any questions and concerns. That being said, the property is apparently in the process of being updated but many of the planned updates had not been completed. The stairs from the patio to the dock need to be done. The current “stairs” are pavers with 2 stones that rock and are slippery. The cottage is old..and the posted pictures are current, but the place is so dark and dreary. The clutter is almost suffocating.. There was so much dust and cobwebs covering the shelves, stairs, and lights. The bathroom upstairs was clean but is in urgent need of being recaulked and there were multiple mildew stains that we scrubbed with bleach cleaner prior to use. Our biggest concern was the electrical. There were so many cords and extensions with inadequate lighting and we truly worried if it was up to date and not a fire hazard. There were 2 refrigerators and the one in the kitchen was empty and somewhat clean but the garage refrigerator was filthy with expired food and green liquid on the bottom. So we avoided that refrigerator at all costs. My humblest opinion is that this property shoukd be overhauled, updated, and thoroughly cleaned top to bottom. That being said, despite the condition, my family made wonderful memories and I do appreciate the responsiveness of the owners.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Fischer

Host profile image
My sister and I are the proud owners of Haloma after having spent a lifetime of summers here. We grew up in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, 90 miles from our cottage. My sister lives three miles from the cottage and I live in Grosse Pointe with my son and husband.

Why they chose this property

Haloma was built in 1940 by our grandparents. It has been a beloved family gathering spot for our family and friends for over 80 years. It is our desire to share our home with folks who appreciate a classic lake house, continually updated and meticulously maintained, while preserving the charm of a classic vintage cottage. Please view photos before renting. Haloma is best suited for those who seek a lake cottage with the feel of days gone by while still offering the modern amenities you expect in today's world. We love spending time here with our families and you will too. There is truly nothing like summertime at the lake.

What makes this property unique

Spending time at a lakefront retreat with family has been a lifelong joy for us and numerous families return to rent from us each year. The cottage is situated on a double lot, so it offers plentiful outdoor space and 90 feet of waterfront. Whether enjoying the water, sitting on the dock, patio or on the inside porch, or playing family games in the large yard, the feel of lake living surrounds you.
