The pictures are deceiving. The backyard was rocks and weeds. There weren’t any cushions in the outdoor seating area. The house was dirty. Nobody could shower because the smell of sulfur was so strong whenever any water was running. It’s was very disappointing. There was a water softener but it wasn’t working. No toilet paper or garbage bags.

We’re sorry the home did not meet expectations during your stay. Recent weather caused unexpected weed growth in the rock landscaping, and landscaping work was arranged to address the area. We also take the concerns about cleanliness, outdoor seating, starter supplies, and the sulfur odor from the well water seriously. We appreciate you sharing these details and remain committed to keeping the home clean, comfortable, and well cared for for future guests.

This may seem petty but the toilet paper and paper towels were the worst and i assume cheapest they could buy. When you expect all the comforts of home those products are important. One wash cloth for two people for a week

Very disappointed! The online listing is very misleading. The home looks nothing like what the listing portrays. The property grounds were so overgrown with weeds, there were dead bugs everywhere that looked like they hadn’t been cleaned all season, and we swept the floor when we arrived and the amount of human and dog hair that we swept up was proof that they didn’t sweep the floors. We had to go out and buy our own toilet paper and paper towel because it was not available, and don’t even get me started on the horrific smell of the water. And they say they provide filtered water but there was probably about 2 cups in the bottom of the water jug so we had to also go buy bottled water for the week. And when we returned home, and I reached out about these conditions, I had to provide several photos and emails and at the end of it all they refunded such a small amount that we felt was very offended. I would definitely not recommend that anyone stay here until they get all of these conditions fixed. The only thing that was halfway decent was the view of the water. I have been renting through Vrbo for years and this was totally disappointing!

Quiet place by the lake

As promised, this cottage is indeed a quiet place by the lake. The entire place was kept clean and had a well stocked kitchen with all required utensils and cutlery. Water is an issue though, as there's some smell in it. Other than that, it's a great destination overall.

Fantastic Property!

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The beautiful views including sunrise are priceless. We loved that we could fish just steps from the door. The house was very clean, bright and nicely decorated and comfortable beds. The surrounding neighbors were all very friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

4/10 Poor

Disappointed

The pictures of the property were very nice but when we arrived weeds had taken over much of the yard, some were 1 or 2 feet tall . It looked quite shabby to be honest. The house was decorated nicely, however, I had to sweep white dog or cat hair off the black futons and sand off the lounge chair. Also, the window ledges were full of bugs as well as along the track the patio door runs on. The sulfur smell from the water was suppose to dissapate after 30 minutes. It stayed the whole time we were there. The big bottle of water for drinking was a nice gesture but it was nearly empty. We thought dish soap, paper towels, salt and pepper and cooking oil and toilet paper were provided. They were either completely out or very small amounts there. I tried reaching the host by email twice but never received an answer. The futons were very uncomfortable and the one small air conditioner was not adequate to cool the whole house. Fans were provided but one of those didn't work. Maybe the owners are unaware of these things. The list they left for the cleaners specifically asked them to weed. They apparently did not.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 August 2026
We’re glad you liked the home’s decor, and we’re sorry several parts of the stay fell short of expectations. Recent weather caused unexpected weed growth in the rock landscaping, and a notice was added to the listing while landscaping work was arranged. We also take the cleanliness, starter-supply, communication, fan, and water concerns seriously. The home’s private-well water and cooling setup are outlined in the listing to help guests know what to expect before arrival. We appreciate you sharing your experience and will continue working to provide a comfortable stay for future guests.

We had a wonderful stay at Marina on the Rocks. The cabin was beautifully decorated and had a great view of the lake. The host was so friendly and accommodating, and she even gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to stay in and relax.

Note that the water at this property is not able to be consumed. The renter is not notified about the water until the morning of check-in. In addition, the smell of the water was so severe that we had to leave the property. I was raised on well water, I am familiar that it smells differently, but this smells as though the well has to be replaced. Washing hands made our hands and arms smell completely rotten. I cannot believe that a home can be rented that does not have water that can be consumed.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the water impacted your stay. The home operates on a well system, which can naturally have an odor at times, and this is noted for guests prior to arrival. That said, we’ve followed up to ensure everything is functioning as expected and meets our standards. Once your concerns were raised, a full refund was promptly issued. Your feedback helps us continue improving the guest experience.

From the owner: "Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear you didn’t fully enjoy your stay. To clarify, the property uses well water that runs through a water softener system, ensuring it’s clean and safe to use. As for the bugs, the home sits right by the lake, so it’s normal to see some insects outdoors, though we do have regular outdoor and indoor monthly sprays to keep things under control inside the property. We also want to mention that the home was left in an unusual condition after checkout, a towel was missing, and there was poop left in the bathroom, which is not typical of our guests. While we always aim to provide a great experience, your stay was particularly challenging for our team despite our efforts to accommodate you. Best regards"

Wonderful short getaway

The property was very nice. The Lakeview was absolutely beautiful. This would be a wonderful place for a couple or two couples as there are two bedrooms with king beds. That was very nice. Also they have a very cool screen door that is magnetized and shuts on its own when you go in and out. Helps tremendously with the bugs. The hosts are very nice and very helpful. If you need anything at all they try to help you very promptly. Our time went by way too fast. Would definitely stay again.

We did enjoy the view and the quiet location! We had trouble with the key getting into the house, but they answered our call promptly, and helped us out. It looked like no one had been there for quite sometime. A bit dusty, and when we went to pull the bedding, there was dog hair, so we covered it with fresh sheets. The bugs are no joke, we couldn't walk outside in the morning because they covered the entire property. We could not shower or really use the water because of the intense foul odor that came from the drains. We ended up buying water to brush our teeth and wash our hands. There was no soap for us to clean the dishes, either. The fire pit was nice, but the neighbors right next door were burning plastic or something you shouldn't breath in, so we couldn't stay out for long. The location was cozy, right up against Lake Huron. However, the furniture was cheap and uncomfortable. We would rate this 4 out of 10 overall.

Thanks for sharing your experience—we’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting and Lake Huron views. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:• The home is professionally cleaned and inspected before each stay, but I would’ve appreciated the opportunity to address the dust or bedding concerns during your visit.• The water is treated, tested, and safe to use—the odor you noticed is due to natural minerals common in the area, not a sanitation issue.• Dish soap and other essentials are regularly stocked, and my team confirmed they were available during your stay. The furniture is also selected for both comfort and durability, and I’ll continue to assess where updates may be helpful.• While neighboring activity is out of my control, it hasn’t been a common concern among past guests, and I’ll continue to keep an eye on it.We appreciate you sharing your thoughts as we continue working to deliver the comfortable, 5-star stays we’re known for.

We booked a two night get away. On our way to the property we received a text cautioning us that the water was not drinkable and to bring our own drinking water. When we arrived, we found the property clean but noted the seawall had several washouts that would concern us if we had small children or pets. The property itself wasn't totally bad but when flushing the toilet, a foul odor filled the bathroom and the bathroom door would not stay open to let it dissipate so we had to prop it open with something. We then tried to settle in for the evening but found the furniture was very uncomfortable and difficult to relax on. We planned to spend time on the property and not travel and found no cushions available for the outside furniture in order to enjoy the lake views. The next morning our walk around the neighborhood was nice but upon our return and taking showers found the smell from the water permeated the entire premises. We then tried to open the windows but found no screens and based on the warning of bugs elected to return home early.As we prepared to leave we found supplies limited such as dishwashing liquid.

From the owner: "Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you found the property clean and enjoyed the neighborhood walk. We’d like to clarify a few points to help future guests:- The home is on a well water system, which is very common for lake properties. Instructions about bringing bottled drinking water were sent very early in the morning of your arrival, and also, well water is in the description of the property. The water is safe for dishwashing and bathing, and there’s a pump under the sink with dishwashing and plenty of dishwashing soap in the cabinet.- There are also screens on every door, including the patio door, and the cleaning team confirmed this during inspection. As for the natural setting, occasional bugs are normal for lakefront homes, similar to any property near water.- We appreciate your feedback about the outdoor cushions and will make sure they’re more visible for future guests.Thank you again for staying with us, and we wish you safe travels on your future getaways."
