Top Independence Lake Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Whitmore Lake/Ann Arbor/Brighton

8/10 Good

"This hotel was clean, and affordable even with the pet charge!!"

Baseline Lakefront - Beautiful views, shallow swimming area - Huron chain with 7 lakes

10/10 Excellent

"The house was clean and well maintained. There were a couple doors and windows that could use a few repairs, but certainly didn’t put a damper on the weekend! There was more than enough room for the 8 adults that stayed and plenty of kitchen items for anything we wanted to cook. The fire pit was wonderful and the lake views were fantastic. We felt right at home. We would absolutely rent this house again!!"

Cottage w/ Lake Access Unit 2

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and comfortable."

Lakeside Fee-lings on Strawberry Lake kayaks Included or bring boat with you.

10/10 Excellent

"Lakeview was amazing. Beautiful sunrises and Moons at night over the water.Location was perfect for Strawberry and Zukey lake and located right next to the entrance to the river to go to the other lakes. Watching the seaplane take off was an extra thrill. l I have found the 4 sets of chain of lakes in Michigan offer so much. Highly recommend you travel to see them and this place would be perfect to rent to see them. Zukey lake tavern is a must stop and see. Established in 1920 and then closed due to prohibition opened again in 1930 and has remained an on the water stop by boat or land. Neighbors were very friendly and helpful in advice to navigate the area and lakes and also helped with the boat and trailer to get on the property before and after launch. Nice little community. Excellent yard for family fun and activities. Enjoyed our stay and a special thank you to Michelle for her recommendations as well and quick responses.."
