Fun in the Sun

The cottage was perfect for our 4 day getaway.😊 The owners supplied everything! Just sitting looking out the beautiful picture window was relaxing. Our young granddaughters had a great time playing on the beach and in the water. Also enjoyed boat rides on their very nice pontoon boat. Hope to return next summer.

Family get together

Siblings, spouses and mother stayed for a long weekend. It was exactly like the pictures! It was an awesome house! Many little extras and amenities. Although the weather wasn't good enough for swimming, we were able to spend a lot of time on the deck, porch and camp firing at night! Having the grill available was great as well. Thank you so much!!

Family vacation

Our stay was great. There was plenty of room for all of us there, a husband and I our adult kids and their spouses and two grandchildren. The new sandy beach was wonderful. There are two kayaks and peddle boats to use as stated. We also rented their pontoon boat. The lake was not busy. There were a lot of games and books that we didn’t use really because we were so busy enjoying the water.

Fantastic family vacation at the lake

Angela & Eric’s place was such a gem! It had everything you could want for a weekend at the lake for a multigenerational family. The views off the porch and out the back window are stunning and the sandy beach area (with toys) and shallow lake entry was a win for the kids and the adults. The basement filled with games was fun for all and great memories were made around the campfire. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer.

Wonderful week on the lake

We just returned from a wonderful week at Alpha on the Lake in Addison, MI. The home was extremely clean and there were little touches that made us feel immediately welcomed. The home is large and well laid out. The kitchen and dining area open up to the family room with a great view of the lake. The bedrooms and sleeper/sofa in the basement were all very comfortable. Kayaking, paddle boating, beach area, and game room were all well used. Angela and Eric were perfects hosts, responding to any questions promptly.

Relaxing

This was for our annual family vacation. My siblings, my parents and our children. The for kids would live in water if they could. This was the perfect place for that. 80% of time was in water and 20% in basement game room. It met all of our needs and expectations! Definitely will keep in mind for future vacations!

AMAZING Family Trip

The lake house was perfect for our multi-generational family trip! Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The Great Room was so spacious with ample comfortable seating to play games at night. The sandy beach was worth its weight in gold for all of the kids to play on!!! It was fun watching all of the fish & minnows in the clear water! All of us enjoyed using the kayaks & paddle boats to explore the lake. We rented the pontoon boat for one day and had a wonderful time riding around looking at all of the homes and fishing. It would have been perfect if it would've been equipped for tubing. The kitchen was well stocked and had all of the essential needs. The kids loved the basement, but truth be told they didn't use it much because the weather was gorgeous and they were outside most of the time. All-in-all, our family made the best memories while there!

Wonderful Escape

This property exceeded out expectations! The house & grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. The beach area was great for the kids & we all got use of the pedal boats & kayaks. The lake was clean & we had the best time swimming in it. The games in the basement were definitely an added bonus for keeping the kids entertained. Beds we’re comfortable (always an added bonus) & the kitchen was well stocked with anything you could need. I would absolutely book here again!!! Thanks for having us!

Very nice lake home for a family

We rented this lake home for a long weekend to be near friends that own on South Lake. Great space for our family of eight, six adults and two toddlers. Home was very clean, beds were comfortable,well stocked kitchen and many extras for playing in the sand and in the water. Renting the pontoon was a nice bonus. A very nice rental home.

Family vacation

Are family of 9 adults and 3 little ones stayed. It was the perfect size house for us. We appreciated being right on the lake with a small beach. The house was fully furnished with all necessities. We did bring a few lawn chairs that we needed to use at the beach, otherwise everything we needed was there. We did use the kayaks and boat. Are only complaint maybe would be that it is a very small lake.

A great place for a vacation

My family and I just returned from a wonderful week at Angela and Eric’s beautiful lake home. Everything was great. The home was extremely clean and there were little touches that made us feel immediately welcomed. The home is large and well laid out. The ladies all loved the spacious kitchen which opens up to the family room which has a great view of the lake. The kids enjoyed the lower level with the games and large selection of movies. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and having two full baths was very nice, especially with twelve people. There are many places to sit outside and enjoy the breeze from the lake. The gas grill was well used, especially for our annual family “Rib Off” contest. Everyone spent a good amount of time outside sitting on the covered swing, on the deck at the umbrella table, or sitting the pontoon boat. Hours were spent on the paddle boat or exploring the lake by kayak. The pontoon boat was used for relaxing boat rides or as a platform for fishing (which was very good). Angela and Eric are very professional and quickly reply to any questions. They go above beyond to ensure that their g

Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect set up for our group. We had 4 toddlers (2 under 2) and 6 adults. Plenty of room with plenty to do. Added bonus was having the boat with the house as the group could be accommodated based on nap schedules, etc. Angela & Eric were super nice, welcoming and responsive. We even got a fireworks show that we could see from the lake on the 2nd. Would recommend this place to everyone I know!

Great Place To Have a Family Reunion

We really enjoyed our stay at Alpha on the Lake. Check in was easy and the entire house was very clean and comfortable. The setup is really good because there is plenty of room inside (nice game room and spacious family room) if the weather is bad and a deck, dock and boats if the weather is good. The host is responsive and has obviously put in a lot of time and effort to make your stay enjoyable.

Lovely Lake Home

We stayed here with our two children and five grandsons. There was plenty of room for all of us, whether we wanted alone time or room for all of us to enjoy a movie or play a game together. The boys thoroughly enjoyed the lake with the kayaks, paddle boats, playing in the sand, fishing, and we even rented the pontoon for a day. Great memories were made! The hosts were very responsive to all questions and requests. I actually think the pictures don't do the house justice. It's a beautiful home. We hope to return in the future!

This was truly like a home away from home. It had everything we needed and a great view! Everyone, from our young kids to the grandparents, loved the house, the new sandy beach, the lake activities and fire pit. There was so much to do inside and outside. We hope to be back!

The minute we walked in the door, it felt like home! We just fell in love with the peaceful South lake. We couldn't wait to share it with our friends & family. It is a place we don't want to leave!

What makes this property unique

I am a big game person, so I wanted to create a space to have some fun! If you need to cool off or if its too cold to be outside you can come in and play some games.
