Brenda was wonderful. She answered all the questions that I had quickly. This house has the million dollar View. Take a ride on one of the two kayaks that are provided to enjoy the view even more. You must get up early to experience the fabulous sunrise right out the living room window. Black lake does have the best sunsets and sunrises I’ve ever seen. If you’re looking for an up north experience you can’t go wrong with this place. This is my second time renting this home and I will be back next year. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Place was perfect! Our only wish was that the water was deeper at dock to have been able to have boat right there to easily go in and out. We had to put in at boat ramp every time. Not a big deal but that is the only thing that would have made our stay perfect. Water would be great for younger children to easily play and not have to worry. We had a great time paddle boarding and fishing. Only couple rain days and have no control over crazy weather. Just turned those into game days! Spent one day on Mackinac Island made trip complete!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you had such a great time and were able to enjoy the lake, paddle boarding, fishing, and even a day on Mackinac Island! 😊 We’re sorry the water level at the dock made your boat a little less convenient, but we’re happy it didn’t keep you from having a memorable stay. We love that you made the rainy days into fun game days! Thank you again for staying with us, and we’d love to have you back anytime!
