A Slice Of Heaven

This lakefront is without question a place you want to visit. The accommodation was perfect and it is very homie if you will. Convenient to everything you want or need. The area is so friendly and it was a pleasure to spend a week decompressing with that lake view. A truly wonderful experience. Thanks for everything.

Best on yet that we’ve rented!

We’ve been going to Round since we were kids and now bring our kids. We’ve rented several different cottage/houses all over the lake and this is by far our favorite. This has everything you need and amazing views.

Lake vacation

Greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely lake cottage. The home was clean, very welcoming, and had everything we needed plus much more. There r many wonderful features such as the lake views from the upper porch (outstanding) to the lower patio, nice furniture inside and out, well stocked kitchen, quality beds/bedding and updated decor. Very nice! I can’t say enough good about Elisabeth. She went above and beyond to accommodate us from when we first booked the cottage to the week of our stay. It was very clear that she wanted us to have the best time while staying in her cottage at the lake—And we did! Excellent in all respects!

Family fun

Great Lake. Nice property. With room for 4 cars and a nice lawn directly on the lake. Perfect for kids because there’s no street to crocs like at other parts of the lake. Shallow water for yards. Well equipped kitchen and loved the beverage fridge. Not an eat in kitchen. Seating with the expander table requires movement f the furniture. Renovations were good. Keep the upstairs door closed so that you can keep the upstairs cool. We moved all the fans from the other bedrooms upstairs since it’s more of a converted attic. With teens boys they wanted their own space and the really nice futon in the lower level sun porch was excellent. Walk out from the porch to the lake and lower level bathroom were a plus. Good amount of fishes to store food and access to spices and other basics. A few downsides: the location is great access to the market, ice cream, restaurants and Robs rental. The negative is being a few houses from the corner of a “major” intersection so you hear cars going by. Fans on upper porch were so dirty that we couldn’t use them. Owner was responsive when this was pointed out for next time. Beds weren’t comfy and I’d bring my own pillows. Not enough seating for the bonfire area so bring 4 of your own camp chairs. Awesome and helpful neighbor supporting local property management. Wonderful and quick communication with the owner. Very family friendly area.

Fabulous house!

This house is absolutely perfect for a lake vacation. Our kiddos enjoyed fishing and kayaking as well as s’mores by the bonfire in the evenings. The adults loved doing puzzles and playing cards on the top porch as it has the most beautiful and peaceful view of the lake. The kitchen came fully stocked with anything you could ask for when creating meals for everyone. Extra bonus it is super close and walking distance to a great breakfast restaurant poppas, a general store called sterling’s, and an ice cream shop for the kids at night. The owners were some of the best I’ve ever worked with when it comes to staying VRBO. Super personable and there for any needs or questions. I can’t imagine a better place to stay. We have already booked again for next year and can’t wait! Thanks for sharing your home with us and allowing our family to create such awesome memories! -the rawl and watts families

The Good Life!

Perfect spot to gather with extended family from Ohio and Michigan. Nice shady yard, with plenty of options for sunning, if that's your thing. Great water access and water sport supplies, perfect fire pit, sweet porch off the kitchen to hang and watch lake traffic, and the kitchen itself, tho small, is very nicely stocked. Enough space inside, with comfy furniture, to hang on a rainy day. The complete package! Owners very responsive over phone and property manager Mike, next door, helped ous out like the ideal neighbor he is. We all had a great time and came home feeling refreshed.

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot

Can’t say enough about this property, the owner, and the property manager. Already looking forward to our next vacation there. During our stay we enjoyed time with our adult children swimming, boating, cooking out, shopping at local shops, and hanging out around the campfire. We did have a wind and rain storm go through but we had plenty of room and comfort inside watching a movie and when there was record breaking heat this property came through with shade trees and central air. There was plenty of space inside and out and I can’t think of anything it was missing. Thank you so much for sharing your lake house with us!!

Wonderful

Our stay at the lakehouse in Manitou Beach was wonderful. The house has a warm welcoming feel. It feels like coming home. Every thing we needed was there. Loved having the washer and dryer available. The owner was very accommodating and easy to work with . The neighbors were very friendly and helpful. The weather didn't cooperate well. But we had a great time and did enjoy a bon fire by the lake one evening with family and friends.

Lovely lake house with all the amenities

My family and friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beautiful views over the lake, especially at sunrise. House had everything we needed. Kitchen was spacious and well stocked with lots of pots, pans, bowls, utensils, and more. Everyone was very comfortable in their bedrooms. Bathrooms had plenty of room and also well stocked. Our favorite was using the huge fire pit! We had to go out and find wood to keep us going, but there was plenty of wood to be bought along the roads. :) Kiddos (and adults) love making Smores! Plenty of life jackets of various sizes for kayaking. Sun room was the perfect set up to watch "The Game" with the huge tv and comfy seating, with quick access to our beer coolers on the back patio! Grabbed the 'lily pad' so we could sunbathe off the dock and stay cool. Convenient store is within walking distance and has almost everything. We had beautiful weather and played hard under the sun! Loved everything about our stay!!!

Great Getaway!

We really enjoyed our time on Round Lake. The home was very clean. We spent our days on the lake and then would go to dinner at nearby restaurants. There was no dining seating in the home, so we ate breakfast and lunch on the porch.

A perfect home for a multi-generational vacation!

We had our 3 adult children, one who is married with a newborn. Everyone had their own space, and the covered porches added to living space. Close to shops and restaurants. We spent some rainy days playing cards on the porch overlooking the lake. This place is much nicer than the photos indicate. We've already rebooked for next year!

Round lake stay

The house was cute. It did have a leaking issue in the laundry room down stairs when it rained , which it did while we were there! Luckily they have a dehumidifier to eliminate any water odor ! The grill was dirty and we did not want to use it ! Otherwise the house was nice and the lake nice !!

What's your definition of Utopia?

Utopia means different things to different people. Mine is being surrounded by friends and family relaxing and enjoying the perfect lake setting. If this is what you are looking for then this is the place. It starts with the friendliest owner you will ever make a reservation with, a neighbor that acts like the inn keeper and always makes sure everything is good and a view of the lake from a large covered porch you could spend weeks on end staring at the lake from. The location of this house is perfect. Close to a grocery store, restaurants, the boat launch and the yacht club. There is plenty of yard to play in, a fire pit, a long dock and shallow clean water. We rented a Pontoon boat from Rob's Boat Rental and they are easy to work with and super nice as well. Every lake house has charming imperfections and this house is no different. But they become completely ubiquitous every time you walk on the porch and stare at the lake for a minute. Utopia!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Rissing

We live in Cincinnati, 4 hours from this house. We love this house so much and wish we could live there full time. I have lived all over with my job. Indiana (Hoosier) for college, then lived in Indy, Chicago, bought the lake house, them moved to Royal Oak. I officially moved to Cincinnati in 2006. Met the love of my life and we created 2 amazing girls.
I think I convinced my husband to marry me because of the lake house!!!!!

Why they chose this property

I bought this house when I was younger and single. Now, with a husband and 2 lovely girls we find it more difficult to travel 4 hours. We love this house and you will understand when you visit. It's a perfect setting... house, lake views, walk to dinner/ store/ bars. Neighbors are wonderful and will help with your stay.

What makes this property unique

Don't get in your car for the entire week. Need something? Order pizza or get essentials just doors away at Sterlings. The water/ beach is perfect for swimming and playing in the water. You will love the glass railings overlooking the lake. We have renovated each square inch of the house.
