Seven of us had an amazing time. The beachfront and lake were perfect. The kayaks and paddleboards a plus! A big dining room table was great for playing games, the kitchen was spacious.
A very clean and well stocked house on a nice lake! We had a wonderful stay- there's lots of room in the house, a spacious yard front & back, sandy beach, paddle boards, kayaks & a rowboat. The house had everything we needed to cook a few meals and the house is in a great location- Gaylord is close by with grocery stores and restaurants and there's lots of golf courses close by. We really enjoyed our stay!
This is a beautiful home on a peaceful lake, we
enjoyed total relaxation, listening to the sound of the calling loon was amazing! The home provides every comfort needed for a perfect summer family vacation! Sunny beach, shaded deck, firepit, kayaks and paddle boards. After a day of play on the beach, sleeping accommodations were very comfortable. Two bathrooms make it extremely convenient; plenty of room for everyone around the large kitchen table and relaxing in lazy boys for a movie at night. Thanks for a wonderful week!
Our party of 9 had a great stay, the sleeping arrangements were perfect. The cottage was better than what we expected and the lake was perfect for fishing and water sports. Perfect up north vacation!
Great little lake that have the fish literally jumping at night. Great sandy beach. Great little bike ride around the lake or upt the street to the snowmobiling trails for some icecream. Great location for day trips. Clean and comfortable for our family of 7.
We had a wonderful stay, extremely comfortable! We relaxed on the beautiful beach, kayaked, went swimming, enjoyed evening walks, shared wonderful meals together. Loved watching and hearing the loon. A awesome retreat for relaxation and family bonding!
Great location near snowmobile trail. House was clean and had everything we needed. Great communication from the host. We would definitely use this place again … maybe even this winter if the snow sticks around!
This was the finest vrbo property we have ever rented.
It is spacious, well appointed, and has a beautiful view of Heart Lake. The waterfront is perfect for all activities.
The hosts could not have been nicer and answered our every question and need.
In fact, my family is already pressuring me to rent this property for next summer.
Stayed at few rentals over the years. And this place ranks at the top of my list. Great beach access for kids. Even though it was a golf get away with friends. I Leila be coming back with the kids for a summer stay. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.
We had a wonderful time at Pat and Gail's place. It was a quiet, beautiful setting with ample gathering space outside on the deck and inside. We cooked together and had all the appliances and utensils we needed, we played games in the spacious living room and sat around the deck drinking coffee and catching up. It was perfect and a central location for those of us who traveled from Grand Rapids, Detroit and the UP. We will be back:)
We loved everything about the cottage. It doesn’t feel like a rental. It feels like a home. All the small details, make it cozy and comforting. It’s a gem. The lake is beautiful and quite quiet. We seen 2 eagles, osprey, fish, and some kind of river otter looking little guy. We will definitely be back. Thank You.
My family, and I loved the week we spent at Gail's place on Heart Lake.
The house itself is great, very comfortable for all of us. Every amenity you might need was taken care of, and everything was exceptionally clean and tidy.
Outside we enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake, and the beach. When the weather cooperated we swam, and paddle boarded (or attempted to... More falling then actual paddling haha).
Overall we totally recommend staying here. The house is great, the lake is great, and Gail was awesome to work with. Hopefully we'll be back!
