PICK ME! Updated 2023! ELEGANT LAKEFRONT- KAYAKS/PADDLE BOAT-Open! PETS WELCOME!

We are thrilled to announce that our lakefront vacation rental has undergone a major renovation, providing a fresh and updated experience for our guests. This past winter, we have worked diligently to enhance the property and ensure that every detail meets the highest standards of comfort and style.

From the stylish interior design to the upgraded furnishings, we've spared no effort in creating a welcoming and rejuvenating environment for our guests.

The newly updated features include renovated bathrooms, modernized furnishings, and an additional sleeping space. The interior has been thoughtfully designed to provide both functionality and aesthetic appeal, ensuring that you have a pleasant and luxurious experience during your stay.

In addition to the interior updates, the exterior of the property has also received attention. The dock and outdoor spaces have been refreshed to enhance your enjoyment of the breathtaking lakefront setting. Relax and unwind on the deck or simply take in the beautiful surroundings from the outdoor spaces.We understand that your comfort and satisfaction are of utmost importance, which is why we are committed to providing a newly updated and inviting space for you to relax and create lasting memories.

With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and an additional sleeping area, this spacious retreat is perfect for gatherings and unforgettable vacations while including your beloved pets. The waterfront offers direct access to the serene lake.

As a private all-sports lake, this oasis offers a wide range of water activities including canoeing, kayaking, pontoon boating, water skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, parasailing, fishing, and even diving. As it is private, you may even have it all to yourself on some days, allowing for complete privacy and tranquility. Alternatively, you can unwind on your own beach and gather around a bonfire while enjoying sunset drinks. Your pets can accompany you on your water adventures, making cherished memories together.

The location of this property is unbeatable. It's convenient location adds to its appeal. Situated just 30 mi from downtown Detroit, you have easy access to casinos, sports venues like Ford Field, Comerica Park, and Little Caesars Arena, as well as cultural attractions such as the Fox Theater, Detroit Opera House, Pine Knob, and universities such as the University of Michigan and Michigan State University. Alpine Valley Ski Resort is only a short drive away, making it convenient for winter sports enthusiasts.

This home shares a dock with one of our other vacation rentals (VRBO #4936955), allowing for convenience and extra space for a larger gathering of family and friends. The newer deck provides a perfect spot to relax, soak up the sun, and enjoy the views. Situated near the very end of a private road, this home offers seclusion and tranquility.

Come and experience our newly updated lakefront vacation rental, where modern design and enhanced amenities combine to offer you an unforgettable getaway. Whether you're seeking tranquility, adventure, or quality time with loved ones, our updated property is the perfect choice for your next vacation!



Additionally, the map is not accurate. This home is located on the opposite side of the canal, next door to VRBO #4936955.

Great house for family get together
This house was perfect. Clean, well-equipped and roomy. Maybe because early spring, we were concerned about the fecal matter left by families of swans and geese who were present on the beach when we arrived. We did however enjoy the lovely view and paddle boat.

Accommodated our needs, but property a little tired
Property owners were very good to work with and were responsive. Kitchen was well stocked, too. We appreciated being able to bring our dog and the easy rental of the pontoon boat. As stated, our needs were met, however the couches, beds, upstairs bathroom and pontoon are tired. Am sure the property has been used by many and is popular, but a refresh of these areas would be appreciated.

Perfect getaway
This was a great property and really easy to enjoy! Right on the lake and accessible! Kayaks were available and allowed us to enjoy the lake. I am a runner and was able to get my miles in daily throughout the neighborhood while feeling safe. Our children absolutely loved the lake and spent the entire day in the water. We were also able to go fishing and catch some little fish. They were put back in the water, but the kids absolutely loved the whole experience! I am definitely marking this house as one we would love to visit again. Thank you to the owners for being so accessible and available. We absolutely enjoyed our week.

Fits a crowd
I’ve stayed in many VRBO rentals. Overall we had a nice stay here. The property owners were really great to deal with and communication was quick and efficient. The property has a nice view of the lake and can easily fit a larger group or family. The pictures definitely show the property in its best light. I’ll list the pros and cons of the place below. Pros - While the house is on the smaller side it can fit a large group will extra roll out beds, the kitchen is well appointed with lots of cooking pans, utensils, dishes and even spices, the upstairs beds are very comfy, lots of linens and towels great for the lake, the living room area is comfortable with a huge tv, and the property is fairly quiet. Cons- This place was pretty grimy and dirty and needs a solid top to bottom thorough scrub - I had to clean when we arrived and just accept some of it, the house is on well water and you have to space out your laundry, dishwasher and showers which is manageable but the dishwasher is very loud making it tricky to run at night, the downstairs kids beds need new mattresses - we found them so uncomfortable that they were unusable, the upstairs main bedroom has an open cut out wall which gives great views of the lake but reduces privacy and increases noise levels, the yard is very small and you are definitely cozy with the neighbors when out there, well water also requires bringing in your own drinking water which is just something to know. The fireplace wasn’t usable during our stay bc it needed to be cleaned and the upstairs bathroom needs some repair and updates. Ultimately I feel the owners need to do some upkeep to charge the premium price they want but it is a nice space and could be really nice. We made our stay enjoyable and appreciated the responsiveness of the owners in booking and throughout our stay.

Covid Christmas '20
We had to spend Christmas alone this year without extended family so we chose a little getaway. The house was perfect! The kitchen is so big and perfect for making big Polish Christmas. We were together, whether baking, watching TV or playing games because the house was so open. Look forward to returning in warm weather to enjoy the lake!

Nice place
The house and specifically the bedrooms were very nice and well maintained. I felt like it had been recently updated and was nicer than other rentals. The private beach was great for the kids. The only slight criticism we had was that the swimming areas was so mucky, but we enjoyed the rafts and kayaks.

Nice place
The location was close to family we were in town to visit. The small beach was perfect for our young kids to play and use of the boats worked out great for us. We enjoyed the fire pit, yard and abundance of kid toys and gear that were at the house. The house itself was a bit dated and had typical aging lake house quirks but worked well for our 1 week stay. The owners were close by and very responsive to all of our questions. Overall it worked out well for our family for the week we were there.

Fine.
This place is fine. The only minor complaints - not one extra roll of toilet paper, paper towels or garbage bag. The water pressure in the morning is nonexistent but seems to work at night. Minor items that would make it a bit better.
