Family Bonding

well, we were part of the 2025 ice storm and lost power and couldn't leave. Other than that, we had a wonderful time making memories. One suggestion would be some water on site for when emergencies happen as well as some flashlights and perhaps get the gas fireplace fixed.

Great stay on Black Lake

We had a great Thanksgiving with family at this house. Too cold to spend much time outside this house had plenty of room to comfortably spread out for our family of 4 plus grandparents visiting for Thanksgiving. We were surprised and impressed that the place was decorated so nicely for Christmas! Really made it feel like home. Everything was clean and extra touches like treats and even extra toothbrushes was nice! The beds were very comfortable and bedding and pillows were hotel quality. I would love to return when we can use the lake.

Amazing house and amenities!!

My family stayed at this house Aug 2024 for an entire week. So much room and though a little windy for our liking this week, there was still a lot we could do without having to go anywhere. The beach was great for small children and adults alike. Nice shallow swimming area and lake is amazing. House was well stocked, and the giant bowl of snacks, though unnecessary, got used by everyone and added a very nice touch to our stay. Beds were very comfortable and everyone expressed how well they slept. We used a lot of wood during the week to stay warm on the very chilly evenings, but Nick had no issue bringing more over to us. Overall, a great week and definitely would be our first choice to stay there again if we come back to this area.

Michigan Jem

We have stayed in many VRBO lake homes. This is the most fabulous home. We never had one we felt like returning to, but this one is that place. Very well decorated, well appointed home. Beds were wonderful, plenty of extra bedding, pillows, kitchen lacked nothing, bathrooms were well stocked. We loved the guest baskets in bathrooms, the kitchen snack basket was great. Best swimming lake ever, shallow, clear, you will need water shoes, Michigan lakes are rocky. Wood for the fire, indoor toys and games, a tv for everyone, loved that it had three full baths and a half bath! All in all we loved it. The only things we felt it needed: A boat of some kind, like kayaks or small row boat to get into the deep water for fishing, a book letting us know how to operate the porch awning and attic fan along with check out instructions (so we dont have to bother the host) and kleenex...a request of our 6-year old! :) Be sure to eat at the 211 Bar and Grill, it is fantastic! We had a wonderful time!

Great place to gather with toys

Great place with lots of room, with all the necessary supplies for 12 people. Plenty of TP, garbage bags, towels, and even snacks. We used the paddle boards and and paddle boat and even fished and caught a few perch. We enjoyed each room had their own AC unit to customize the sleeping temps. Host was very responsive and one neighbor was very friendly. To top it off, dog friendly!!! The sun sets were amazing too

I think Nick thought of everything when preparing a home for guests. He's included all from docking to parking, a very well equipped kitchen, to comfortable bedding, plenty of seating for gathering indoors and out, firepits and covered patios. Our fishing group really enjoyed the stay.

Paradise vacation

The host answered every question within 20 minutes. His house was fully furnished & equipped with more than I thought which made it so much easier for us. The amount of snacks that were provided by the host added inches to my waistline. Lol. The view & beach area were spectacular. We would definitely want to go there again. Next time it will be in the summer, so we can take advantage of going in the lake. Thanks Nick!

Trip to black lake

Our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to have stayed in such a fantastic location. The beauty of the surroundings was great, and being so close to Ocqueoc Falls added an extra layer of magic to our vacation. We will certainly cherish the time we spent at your property and hope to return in the future.

If you had 10 stars for this stay , we would rate it an 11!

We have been renting through VRBO for a long time. Never once have I walked into a cleaner, more accommodating location than this cabin. The owner leaves you with everything you could possibly need or want. If it's not there just drop him a quick line and it's taken care of immediately. Basically all you need to do is pack your clothes. We really appreciated the welcome baskets as well as all the toys you left for the kids to play with on your beach. This was a wonderful, relaxing vacation for our family which was very much needed. The beach is perfect for little kids as the water is very shallow, and the sunset every night was spectacular. Thank you very much for sharing your cabin with us!
