Lazy on the Lake

Come up north and enjoy the peaceful, laid back feel of country living.  Wake up early and go down to the dock, enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise over the lake. Traverse City is 35 minutes away where you have the national cherry festival, fine dining, casinos, and world class winery's with beautiful views of the bay. Orv trails abound, and in the winter, this year round cabin is in the heart of the snow belt with some of the best snowmobiling in the lower peninsula. Follow us on Facebook @ lazy on the lake.

Perfect getaway

Lazy on the Lake was just what my husband and I needed to escape our busy lives for a few days - beautiful setting - relaxing - well-equipped cabin - comfortable bed - humorous and fun decorations - enjoyed a canoe ride around the lake - and the cabin and grounds were just as pictured in the listing.

Lounging by the Lake

Wonderful property! The king bed in the primary bedroom was very comfortable and the sheets were very soft and my 8 yo loved the futon on the main floor. There is lots to do in the area or you could easily chill there. I’m looking forward to a longer stay next time.

Great family place to stay

We were celebrating my parents both turning 80 years old with my brother and sister. It was very relaxing and right on the water. My father had a grin from ear to ear as he went fishing almost every day and was very happy with the quality of fish he caught. We had everything we needed at the house including plenty of bath towels and toiletries. The kitchen had all the place settings, pots and pans as well. Complete with two tv's and wifi. The only bathroom was upstairs which was somewhat of a challenge for my elderly parents but they managed just fine.

Beautiful with a few caveats

Every house has pluses and minuses. The pluses are the location, the kayaks, the easy check in, and you can tell that when he built the cabin a lot of thought and care went into it. We were surprised how much we loved a local diner called Yankee Boy, highly recommend. The guest book is thoughtful and professional. The lake is beautiful with clear water and the location is green and close to Traverse City. The minuses are that the shower needs repairs. The caulk is in rough shape and there are large stains and it doesn't work well. Another area of improvement is more information about the water. As I noticed in previous reviews, the water has a bad smell. I assumed it was well water when I read the reviews, which I grew up with and am comfortable with, but when we got there is was not a well water smell. Honestly it smells like dirty diapers. It does appear to be well water but I don't think that's the cause. Perhaps it is a regional smell? I think a page in the guest book explaining the smell would help. We didn't dare drink it and I'll pretty much drink any water. Also, this comfortably fits four people. The futon was covered in food crumbs and very uncomfortable. The air mattress deflates. The whole house could use a deep clean...lots of dust and cobwebs. That sounds bad, but again, it is a lovely area and a lovely cabin. I wouldn't skip it because a few small things would make it great.

Vacation Ruined

We rented this stay based on its past ratings, location near Traverse City and the fact our family loves to play on the water. We regularly gather for long weekends up North traveling from different parts of the country to attend. We also planned to attend the Cherry Festival in Traverse City. On our arrival we were very disappointed with this property. It is basically a garage with an upstairs. It was filthy both inside and out, and smelled of gas. The owner stored the blankets and pillows for the home on the STAIRS! We stayed long enough to take pictures of the broken furniture we found inside, as well as the rest of the garage and left. We then contacted the host and VRBO to try to get a refund.If that part was not bad enough we had to rent last minute accommodations in Traverse City costing more money. Which ultimately resulted in us cutting our trip short.

The house is a garage.

This property is a converted garage. It is not insulated. It also was minimally cleaned. Found numerous dusty areas. Also tried to call the manager regarding Roku and internet problems and left messages. It took a long time for a return call or message.

Casual and fun fishing with family

Awesome property and helpful owner. The unique build allows for open air relaxation on the ground floor and the kitchen is better than you’ll find at most similar rentals. The lake is full of pan fish ideal for young kids or grandkids but still great for anyone who wants a weekend fish fry.

This is by far the best one we have stayed at! The owners were on point with communication and everything was as lifted in the description and what you saw is what you get . It was another place for us to make those family moments I'm such a beautiful place.. we loved how the kitchen/dining room and livingroom were all combined . Awesome choice! Everything you could ever need was there from kitchen utensils to games pens to much to name .. but it was as if you were HOME!!! . THANK YOU BOTH
