Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your three-night stay and the beautiful lake views. That sunrise is one of our favorite parts of being here, and we’re so glad you got to experience such an amazing one! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope you’ll come back and stay with us again. You’re always welcome! 🌅
Cottage was bright and cheery. Loved how the kitchen, dining area and living room were one large open area with gorgeous views of lake. Sunrise was spectacular.

Thank you for choosing our Lakehouse for your getaway. We appreciate you taking great care of the property. We would love to host you again.
The house was spotless and had everything you would need! All you need to bring is your clothes and food! Staying there again in the fall! Very comfortable!!
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.

Mark, thank you for choosing our lake house for your up north getaway. We appreciate you keeping the property neat and tidy. Come back and visit again!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. Everything was very clean and the lake views were amazing!! Thank you for sharing your amazing place 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!
We absolutely love this Lake House. It's cozy yet spacious, very clean & welcoming. Location is perfect. Easy to find and lots to do around the area. Plenty of boat launches to choose from and strong sturdy dock in front of the cabin..... Great Place to Stay!

Very comfortable home right on the water. Outstanding sunrise views. Everything needed was supplied.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. Location made an easy drive to Mackinac Island for the day. We also enjoyed the Michigan Dark Sky Park for the first time.
Brenda and Gil were great to work with.
We had a great time and the house was perfect for us. Owners were fantastic and communication was stellar. Will go back in summer when we can take advantage of lake!
