We love everything about this property, it's clean, roomy and has everything you need in the kitchen. This was our second year staying here and plan to come next year!
Overall experience was excellent! Property was better than advertised and lake was quiet and perfect! House was clean and had everything needed to have a good time!
Our stay at Sweet Retreat was wonderful! It was very clean, had everything we could ask for, and fit all 10 of us comfortably! We enjoyed the beach, lake, bonfire pit, and home! I would definitely recommend this home to others and would stay here again in the future!
This house was perfect for the 7 of us. We loved fishing and boating in the lake. We loved doing our workouts in the out building. Very clean, close enough to stores and restaurants. Great time for our family.
This property was awesome, to quote my 8 yr old grandson. We had a bed for each of us. Outdoor activities were wonderful. The great room was very spacious & we could all (10) sit at the table for meals. We made some good memories.
The house was perfect for us - very clean and newly updated. The kitchen was well-stocked, and having multiple refrigerators was great for our large group. There were plenty of kayaks, floats, and the like for the lake, and it was also easy to take trips to Frankfort on Lake Michigan (about 30 minutes away), Sleeping Bear Dunes and Glen Arbor (45 minutes), and Traverse City (30 minutes to downtown Traverse City). We had a fantastic time seeing this part of the state!
We had a wonderful time! The house was very nicec and clean. Awesome location with a ton to do within an hour of the house. The kids had a great time playing in the lake.
Having had other lake vacations in Minnesota and Wisconsin, this was the 1st one in Michigan. While we loved hiking at Sleeping Bears dunes and some great meals out, the real highlights were quality time as a family at this beautiful home including meals together, boating, fishing, s’mores around the campfire, family games, and much laughter and stories. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a great family vacation at the lake! Roger and Gail were so gracious in letting us use everything at the house during our stay.
Took a girls trip with the family to celebrate 6 birthdays. Best time we have had together. Property fit all of our needs and had even more than we expected.
Wonderful property! Amazing views and evert we needed for a wonderful family vacation. The owners checked with us before our stay to see if we had any questions and we’re in contact during our visit. Unanimous decision that we will be back.
This property was amazing! The house had everything we needed. Well stocked, clean, comfortable and beautiful inside and out! Enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboards, the firepit and the beach. The owners were super! We hope to visit again! Thank you, Gail, for a wonderful family vacation!
This home is in a wonderful location. It is quiet and very private with lovely outdoor space and a great beach area for swimming. It was a perfect fit for our family of 5 and I would definitely stay here again. The owners were very responsive and helpful. 5 stars all the way!
We had a wonderful week in this beautiful home! Everything is provided, the home is very well stocked. The lake is small and quiet. The property is immaculate. Highly recommend!
We love staying here. This is our 2nd year we spent a week. It is beautiful and fully stocked with all the you will need. The location is close to whatever activities you are looking for. Our boys caught fish off of the dock and learned how to kayak with the equipment that is provided. Great place for a family get together.

Even Better than expected
This is a great spacious property with awesome features. We were in town for a Wedding and we were able to fit many people comfortably that were traveling in from all over the globe. I would highly recommend this property.
Sweet Retreat is a delight! The house is very nice and better than the pictures! We did have a slight issue with the upstairs shower, but that would not deter me from staying again. Location is very peaceful, away from the hustle, and bustle, but close to everything!
We absolutely love the house with all the amenities! Plenty of room for everyone. Family love the lake and kayaking in the mornings while I enjoyed my coffee overlooking the lake.
We will absolutely book again. Gail & Roger were excellent hosts and extremely responsive.
The property is such a hidden gem! The house had everything we needed and then some. It was the perfect spot for our family and friends to spend time together on the lake. It was also a perfect location for exploring the surrounding areas as well. This is our 3rd year in a row coming to this house and we’ll be back again. The host is super friendly and welcoming as well!
This home and property was perfect for our family. The home was beautiful inside and out.
Our family loved this home. The owner was very easy to communicate with. Not only is the home beautiful, It is also the most well equipped rental I have ever stayed in. We cooked all meals at home and all the appliances and cooking utensils we needed were available. This one really felt like home away from home. Just lovely.
Gorgeous house and property with all the amenities!
This house and property doesn’t disappoint! More beautiful than the pictures are able to show, great property with ample room to spread out and enjoy the sun and lake. We are a family of 8 adults, and everybody was able to hang out in the living room together. Every convenience is thought of, we had everything at our fingertips. Enjoyed peaceful kayak rides on the lake and a boat parade for the 4th complete with fireworks across the lake. If only we could have ordered more sunny days and warmer temperatures to get some swimming in!
As promised - beautiful place, serene lake, ideally located!
From check in to check out, everything was perfection. Clean, chic country lake cottage that accommodated our entire family (6 adults with 3 grandchildren)! All amenities and then some, perfectly appointed and we'll organized, easy to find. I made ample use of the rowboat, and caught largemouth bass everytime I fished. The lake is small, but the kids loved frolicking in the water, as well as kayaking. The grill provided was easy to use, and we made great use (nightly!) of the plentiful firewood that was already split and stored in the garage. The host was very accomodating and quick to respond ti all of our inquiries. Couldn't have asked for a better vacation!
