Awesome House!!
First and foremost, Shane, the renter, was amazing to deal with. Always answered my questions quickly. Home was perfect for a girls weekend celebrating a 50th birthday. The location is amazing on the lake. Saw a loon, a swan and an albino squirrel. Kitchen had plenty of everything you need. Beds were SUPER comfortable. Some things are a little dated, but never bothered us. I can't wait to plan another girls weekend here!

Large Clean House, Great for a group gathering
Our teen girls group had a great time at this house. A fire pit, kayaks, and a large house to spread out in. We truly enjoyed ourselves. Pretty quiet area despite how close the houses are together. Owner texted back quickly with help when needed. Thank you :)

family time
Our families gathered. Three different families. The younger ones spent the night. During the day we enjoyed a snowball fight, games, TV, and lots of good meals together. The kitchen is fantastic, We could prepare, cook, and do dishes all together. The upstairs bedrooms gave us room to spread out. The two dining areas gave us space to gather.

Large, comfortable house
The house was much larger than we had expected - the master bedroom in particular is huge! We ended up being in the house much more than we had planned since our family who lives locally that we were visiting got COVID. It was great having such a large house to accommodate us since we spent most of our time there. I will definitely check for availability for future stays.

Great getaway
I was really pleased with the location of this great little getaway spot. Halfway between Lansing and Detroit, it worked great for my daughter's birthday party with her friends from those two towns.
