Clean and nice
We stayed at the home for an event that was in town. The home was clean, and the photos were accurate. While we were not there for lake activities, the lake provided a beautiful view from the home. Convenient location between Kalkaska and Traverse City.

A very lovely and fun lake house
We enjoyed swimming and boating in the lake and sitting in the private yard with beautiful views. We also appreciated each room inside the house; everyone could find a comfortable corner to do what s/he wanted. The clue game set was a hit for the children.

Beautiful getaway
We really enjoyed our stay! Rorie was kind and responsive to our questions. The house has everything we wanted. It is spacious and a great open layout for hosting a get together. We liked the 2 bedrooms and bath on the first floor and then another 2+ bedrooms and another bath upstairs. It was a great set up for our 2 families totaling 9 people and could have comfortably fit more guests. The decor is quaint and beachy, adding to a relaxing ambiance. We enjoyed a campfire in the backyard and the gorgeous lake views, and went swimming off the sandy beach - the water was calm, clear, and warm. We never made it onto the canoe, but we thought that sounded fun. The kitchen has everything we could have wanted. We appreciated the little details like soap, dish detergent, laundry detergent, paper towel, aluminum foil etc that made the set up function like home - a sign of a thoughtful host. We enjoyed visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes (about 1 hour away), Traverse City (30 min away), and rented a pontoon on Torch Lake (20 min away). There is a Meijer 10 min down the road, which was helpful for a grocery run. We would look forward to returning. Thank you for a great stay!

Okay experience.
Overall the house was okay. When checking in a door was left unlocked so we got into the property without using the lock code. It was for the most part clean. Definitely had a few spider webs in corners and the microwave was not wiped down out all. There were few ants in the kitchen. There is the strong smell of eggs ( the sulfur smell) when using the water…. Washing dishes, showers. Had to go buy jugs of water to wash dishes. There was a mouse. I physically saw the mouse run out from the fridge and run back underneath. I did call the number they gave and they did send someone over with mouse traps 1 hr later. They did NOT catch the mouse at all. When I took out the trash there were mouse droppings under the sink. If I would have known about the water smell and the mouse…. I wouldn’t have stayed there. I get the house is in the wooded area…. But still I had my 18 month old running and rolling around the floor plus my 3 months old bottles on the kitchen counter. Just wasn’t for me and my family. It was a beautiful view of the lake and there was plenty of space for the amount of people.

Cozy winter family gathering
We had a wonderful time during new year Hollidays. The house was very clean, warm and cozy. I was worried that it might be cold, but no, heater works great and furnace provides extra warmth and coziness. Rooms on the second floor are very cute, kids absolutely loved them! Pool table was an unexpected pleasant surprise for us. The view was fantastic. Decent distance to skiing destinations. Overall highly recommend!

Family Vacation
We arrived on this propety Sun. June 6, 2021 at 3:00. It was 85 degrees in the house. It quickly went up to 88 degrees and stayed there the next 5 days. Because of the heat and humidity the cottage had a very unpleasant odor. We went out and bought fans and ant traps because we quickly discovered an ant problem. The owners notes said the air conditioning was to be repaired on June 15. We were not previously informed of this. There was a tiny window unit in the master bedroom that wasn't enough to cool that room. I communicated with the owner about our discomfort several times and she was very argumentative. She never checked back with us after we expressed out discomfort the second day. We were there 7 days. We were not able to use the stove or oven for fear of making the place hotter. It was miserable. We would not stay here again.

Outstanding and Peaceful.
If your looking to feel relaxed on a beautiful lake peaceful, serene with gorgeous landscaping to recharge your batteries this is it. The property exceeded my expectations. I would stay they are again in a heartbeat. There is a canoe. A little sandy beach that is private. Plenty of privacy. A fire pit that we enjoyed at night roasting s’mores. Plenty of places to sit and see the lake and snuggle up with a book inside the home. The home was very very clean. Very satisfied!!! Thank you!!!!! Dr Klein
