About this property

Beautiful lake house in northern Michigan

The lake house is set on Five Lakes with a covered porch looking out from the trees. The lake is sandy until about knee deep and then gets a little mushy (no beach) with a dock and deck. It is set on a hill so the views are great but it does have stairs and slope to walk down to get to the lake. There is a large deck down next to the water. In June it can be weedy between the edge and deep water so we usually take the kayaks or paddle boards out to swim and play in the water. By July the weeds are mostly gone. It is just minutes from US 127 and an hour north of Lansing. The main floor has a spacious updated kitchen, dining room, large living room with lots of windows, bedroom and full bath. Upstairs has a 2nd bedroom with a double bed and an attic room with two double bed mattresses. The walkout downstairs basement has the 3rd bedroom with a double and twin bed. Another twin bed is in an alcove and there is the second a bathroom with a shower downstairs. There is no central air conditioning but there is a small window air conditioner in the upstairs bedroom.

Beautiful lake house

As advertised. There are a lot of beds, movies & board games. Very spacious, GORGEOUS view of the lake from the living room & back deck. Very well stocked kitchen. We would love to stay here again in the summer so we could take advantage of the lake & other outdoor activities. Less than 10 minutes to Farwell or Claire.

Girls weekend Clare's Amish Flea Market

Perfect location. We come for the Amish Flea Market in Clare every year. Once we get back to the house we don't leave love the view and the house. We did buy outdoor solar lights and put them up outside along the steps down to the lake, it added a nice touch :)

Weekend Getaway

House was nice and spacious, plenty of room. Kitchen had necessary items plates, silverware, glassware and pots/pans to cook with. Maybe a stand up oscillating fan for the living room just to help circulate air a little more, ceiling fans were helpful. At night the house was a perfect temperature for sleeping. View was beautiful and we enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. Next door neighbor was very kind and allowed the kids to use their floating raft, they had a-lot of fun on that. Used the fire pit on the patio up near the house, that was really nice. Fire pit near the water needs the ground area reinforced, the chairs are close to the edge and seems as though you could easily fall off the edge into the brush. Outdoor patio furniture on the lower patio could use some updating. Furniture on both decks was fine. Went on a bike ride and several walks and everyone we encountered were very nice and friendly. Easy access to stores in town. Quiet area and a peaceful weekend. Thank you

Great Stay!!

This is our 4th time staying at this property for our annual Girls' Weekend getaway. We love staying here as the house suits our needs including enough beds for 8 of us and everything you would need to cook a meal. We love having the lake access too and lounged all weekend in the water. Diane is very easy to communicate with and we're looking forward to our next stay!!

The pictures do not do this place justice. This was a perfect place to stay right on the lake. Would have used the toys but wanted to have them sprayed down first. Otherwise a wonderful place to stay!
