Beautiful setting with lasting memories. Upper bdrm,kit.& L.R.with deck provided comfort & privacy while the lower allowed children TV, bedrooms, living room of their own. The beach was large with an extra bonus of adjoining lot, where shed was filled with Kyaks,blow ups, paddle boat. Fire pit used nightly for marsh mellow roast.This was a dream vacation,in a tiny quiet city with a great restaurant . Thankyou for the best birthday with my grandchildren. Theres no place like home.
Campfires nightly with samores of course.
Beach and lake beautiful,plenty of kayaks too.
There were 5 kayaks. Plenty for all to take an early morning cruise.

This house was perfect and even nicer in person than in the pictures. Everything was clean and well maintained. The house had great air flow and shade while the beach is in full sun all day. There was also plenty of extra space for our family of five. We would definitely book again!

Well stocked and comfortable.

The cottage was very well stocked with pretty much everything you could need. It was also very clean and comfortable. We took the kayaks and paddle boat out, floated on tubes, and putter around the small but beautiful lake on the pontoon boat. This is a great place for a family getaway to the lake. Angie was a very attentive and gracious host. We had a great time, and would definitely come back.

Great house, great lake

The house was great. It had everything that we could have needed. Even things we didn't think of needing. Clean, stocked cupboards, lots of beds. She really thought of everything. The property was great as well. Nice sandy beach area for the kids to play, and lots of water toys to use. We had a blast. Nice quiet lake with very little traffic.

Amazing hidden gem

Overall nice and relaxing. We were astounded by how well stocked everything was. We stay at rentals often that are minimal on goods in the house such as TP, trash bags, condiments, etc. This place had it all and more! Nice quiet neighborhood and lake. Beautiful views. Host was very prompt and helpful. We would definitely consider returning.

Beautiful Lake House

The property was perfect for our needs. It was very clean and well equipped. We didn’t have time to go out on the lake, but everything was there for us…ready to go! The only downside was the dirt roads leading to the property. Be prepared for a very bumpy ride…lol…and watch for Amish horse and buggies. Once you get there it’s just beautiful…especially with the fall colors. Just gorgeous!!!

Great Experience

House and property were great. We are first timers using VRBO and putting together this kind of group stay and it was a very good experience. This house was better equipped then my own home. Access to the kayaks and use of the beach created some really great memories for our family. 4 generations, including our patriarch with mobility issues. The layout of the home allowed him easy access and worked WAY better than a hotel! I would not hesitate to return to the area, this home or any home hosted by Angie! Thank you. Priceless!

Great fall weekend!

Within 1 hour of arriving, our teenagers were already out catching frogs and kayaking. Great to see everyone of their screens for the weekend! We were close enough to the Manistee National Forrest to spend a day hiking and enjoying the fall colors. Beautiful view of the lake from the house, definitely 5/5. Pantry and kitchen had tons of extras, rooms had everything, very well thought out! No wood for the bonfire when we arrived; a neighbor told us weekdays you can pick up wood from the saw mill down the street. We missed the time frame but were able to buy bundles at the local market. Great family house, everyone enjoyed the extended weekend!

Perfect weekend

We were celebrating my husband's birthday with another family. The home was very well kept, and perfectly clean. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for the relaxing weekend. You can tell, that the owners are using their vacation home often, which was a plus, because everything was very practical. The paddle boat was a big hit with our kids and we went out fishing on the row boat. Beach towels were provided and the beds were freshly made. Thank you Angie for letting us spend a weekend there. It was a wonderful vacation!
