Perfect for what we needed. We will be back for more vacation stay instead of just work stay.
Cozy and clean home away from home. Gave us all our own space and thoroughly enjoyed the deck with an awesome view of the lake. Got in a game of pool too. Property management was great to work with. Would recommend Off The Hook to anyone looking to decompress with family/friends.
Beautiful spot with so many enjoyable things; boats, hot tub, pool/ping pong table. Wonderfully decorated and outstanding view. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for reviewing this propety. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with Visit Up North!
Great place! The home was clean and inviting. Fires by the water were beautiful and fishing on the lake was fun. We would love to come back with the kids. My only complaint would be the hot tub smelled slightly like amonia. I think the chemicals need to be adjusted.
Very Nice home, very clean loved the separated areas for kids and adults. All 3 levels had balconies. The host checked in with us to.make sure everything was good and we figured everything out. (Was very nice of her! ) At first our dog had difficulty with the spiral staircase but quickly overcame them . The teens were fascinated with the spiral staircases! Nice firepit and chairs to relax around . Overall great stay !
We loved staying here and swimming in the lake! Was extremely relaxing and the lake was a great temp and clean. Good location to go canoeing on the Au Sable. Bugs got us a little bit, but that's Michigan for you. Thanks again for letting us stay!

Isn't this a great house and location! Thanks so much for staying with us.
We enjoyed our stay; the house was clean. It was very cute. We came up on our Harley's to see the fall colors it was a little rural, but we still enjoyed our time. My only suggestion would be to clean up the landscaping other than that we would stay again.
We had an amazing weekend house is clean, stylish, plenty of space and things to do on property. The giant fridge is an amazing bonus! Lake and outside areas are cute and spacious and everything was wonderful!

Wonderful! We are thrilled to know that you had a ball at this home! Please visit us again soon!
Had a great time... fishing was good, hot tub was great and always a plus was the pool table!πππππ. That's again for letting us enjoy your peaceful home.
I went to this property with my two sons 18 and 23 and sons girlfriend 23 and we loved it. There was a lot to do right there on the property such as games, kayaking, fishing and swimming The lake is beautiful and itβs close to other things to do such as Traverse city and Fife lake. Iβm looking forward to our next visit.
We only stayed 2 nights and enjoyed the home. It was close enough to Traverse City and ski resorts. Being on the lake was nice. The only reason we didnβt give it 5 stars was because the hot tub would not get hot after the first night.

We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the stay here! We are sorry about the hot tub, we brought a tech out to take a look, and it seems like it was put into sleep mode at some point, we are sorry for that inconvenience
