Really enjoyed our stay here. It was just my wife and I. The house was much bigger than we needed, but the view was exactly what we needed. It rained most of 2 days while we were here, but the covered outside porch still offered us the chance to be outside as the temperature was perfect. House has everything you want...

We came for some time away with family and spent most of our time at the beach. The house is well stocked and the back porch is a great feature. We had a great time.

Expansive beautiful lakefront property. Fire pit on the lawn was awesome & we did like the covered porch too. Some steep stairs to the beach, but well worth it as it is a huge beach area that’s fairly private. You do need water shoes with the rocks-but we expected that on Lake Huron. House was comfortable for all of us, including the pooch. Definitely recommend this property; owner was very sweet/easy to work with. Only complaint was the grill didn’t work the best.

Great getaway!

We had a great week renting this property. The beach and lake were beautiful. The house and property were very clean and well maintained. Greg was very friendly and accomodating. He has thought of all the details to make a stay here comfortable and convenient. We would highly recommended staying here!

Great house pictures don’t do this place justice

Had the best time here. House is beautiful. Very clean and the host thinks of all the needs of guests we even had a storm and went without power for portion of our trip and they had a small box with the supplies we would need in case this happened. The beach area is beautiful very rocky so bring some water shoes but the views are amazing. Beds are very clean and comfortable we had the best time. Will def stay here again in the future.

Overall good

Location was perfect, we spent most of our time on the beach which was wonderful. Communication with host leading up to our trip was great, they were always very helpful and quick to respond. Only complaint/down side of the property was that there were LOTS of bugs in the house. Lots of little fruit flies (even when we first checked in, so it wasn't from food we had out). Other than that our stay was great.

Diamond in the Bluff

Words could not begin to summarize the view at the best beach house and bluff. Watching the sunrise at the top of the bluff with your morning coffee to having a bonfire in the sand under the stars. We didn’t spend much time inside but the home was clean. The host was quick to respond to any questions or inquiries. Beautiful home, I hope to return again in the future.

Forestville paradise

We had a wonderful time. The beach was so private & enjoyable. Glad we brought beach tent. Fire pit & wood provided were great! Chairs at bluff & at beach were perfect! Large porch provided great way to enjoy family time & space for gentle activities like morning coffee, hula hoop, catch, two square. Dry place on rainy day! Kitchen was perfect work area with all necessary things. But, smell of the cottage when we walked in was very off putting. We opened windows & aired rooms out for several hours. BBQ was very dirty from last users, propane tank stuck shut & BBQ igniter broken, so we couldn’t use it. Stairs into cottage were very awkward to navigate. Check out required doing bed/bath laundry down awkward basement staircase. Many steps down to each, but worth it as beach was great & private!

Great place, nice hosts, definitely recommend.

Lovely property, but for the cleaning fee we are required to pay, I didnt expect spiders in a very intricate web strung out on the light over the dining roon table. Nor did I expect old coffee grounds in the coffee pot with mold in it, or a thick layer of dust on the ceiling. I was told there was no light by the backdoor, which also had 2 steps on it. Thats a tripping hazzard when its dark. I also don't think I should have ti start lau dry before I leave, not for the cleaning fee we pay. This was a lovely property, the hosts were very nice. Although there was a little left to be desired in cleaning, the host addressed my concerns that same day. This place was well stocked wirh towels blankets, and anything else we could need. I would definitely recommend it!

Ok Getaway

Great private beach for the neighborhood. However rental next door was very close. So we didn’t get the quiet getaway that we were expecting. Group renting house next door was a large group of very young adults who stayed up late having a good time. They were nice, but not quiet. House was ok. Overall pretty clean and kitchen was stocked with essentials. However there was food in cabinet dated with an expiration date of 2022. Bed was not so comfortable, but blankets and comforters were super soft. Biggest disappointment was the patchy, slow access to internet and TV channels. I had some work that I needed to do while on vaca and the internet access prevented me from accomplishing it in a reasonable amount of time. While VRBO listing noted internet access, it failed to mention slow and not reliable internet or cell service.

Beautiful beachfront property!

Our family (2 adults, 2 teenaged boys) just spent 3 nights at this adorable cottage on the lake. Having rented other properties on Lake Huron, here is what we especially liked about this one--1. It was very quiet/private. We were there midweek and never saw another person; however, even if the houses on either side had been occupied, there is plenty of space to spread out, play, swim, etc. 2. The beds all have brand new, firm mattresses and all-white bedding. 3. While the weather never got above 70, the water was so warm we were still able to swim every day. 4. Even with the high water levels, we were able to walk a bit without feeling like we were in front of other cottages the entire time (there also seemed to be an unusual number of petoskey stones!), 5. There is a close public beach that made it easier to take our kayak out without having to carry it back up the steps. (We brought out own, but they also have them for rent.) 6. There is a large lawn so you can go outside without immediately being coated in sand. 7. Two firepits. 8. Lovely back patio in case we got sick of the beach, which we didn't... 9. Tankless water heater meant we never ran out of hot water and the water pressure was great. 10. Owner was available but not intrusive. We had a great time, and I'm sure we will be back.

What a wonderful home with a beautiful view! The house was one of the most well stocked places we have stayed at and had everything we needed for the stay. We loved the back porch for lounging and dining. The beach was awesome and we had fun kayaking, swimming, and collecting rocks. We followed the advise of an earlier review to bring swim shoes and had no issues. Can't wait to stay again when in the area!

Very nice place beautiful scenery. The interior had alot of spiders and spider webs, it felt abit unclean. The patio furniture outside was dirty and unusable. Overall we enjoy the location, the cottage, the outdoors. Cottage was good size and spacious for meals and games. The outdoors was wonderful for BBQ, bonfires and kayaking. Thank you.

The week was very nice, however i feel that I'm the description of the beach it needs to be exposed that it is full of rocks, we had to make a run to Walmart to get water shoes, my grandson cut his foot in the rocks, the neighbors had the same experience with having to get water shoes!

Birthday getaway

My sister and I stayed here about four years ago, and we really liked it. When I asked her what she wanted for her big milestone birthday this year, she wanted to spend a week here. She and I and our little dog enjoyed a relaxing week. Before we left for this vacation, I emailed our host and explained the significance. I asked if it would be possible to surprise my sister with a birthday cake on her special day. adding that if it would be too much trouble, I would understand. Not only was Greg willing to do that, he asked what her favorite flavor of cake is. He provided the most delicious chocolate cake we had ever eaten. We enjoyed that cake all week and probably gained 5 pounds too, but it was worth it. My sister said it was one of her best birthdays ever. Thank you, Greg and Paula, for making this celebration so unique and enjoyable!
