The hosts were very responsive and friendly. The lake house was spacious and we would stay here again. It would be nice if there was firewood available for the pit. Buying from the gas station was expensive for wood. We plan on returning next year.

Very peaceful vacation

Overall we were very pleased with the house and location of it. We were looking for peaceful place to stay and not to be disturbed by the neighbors. The house is located maybe 10 minutes outside of town so going to the grocery store or going to eat dinner was extremely easy. I spent most mornings sitting on the couch looking out the back door at the lake and private dock. I really enjoyed the bird feeder on the back deck and the abundance of animals that came to feed there. The ducks made their way up one morning and feasted on the bird food on the deck. The house is located about 1:10 minutes from Mackinaw and about 1:30 from Traverse City.

Good and Bad

To start, the communication was pretty good though some details were fudged. Check in was easy. The beach was sandy and this place had some good amenities. Towels galore, plentiful seating and large back deck. The Bad: SO HOT IN THE HOUSE. When messaged with manager, she said there were fans in all of the rooms to deal with the heat but they were TINY and we had to buy fans. The beds were terrible and have not been updates in 30 years, that’s not an exaggeration. Every back hurt the next day because of all the broken springs. The whole house needed a reallly good deep clean and while lake houses do have more bugs, this place had spiders EVERYWHERE! Regular spraying really does some good! Only one of the burners on the stove worked properly, the toilets back up, BUT we still had a good time and the place was cheaper. Lake was amazing. Wouldn’t stay again though.
