Great Place Right on the Lake

Four of us came for a relaxing week to fish and boat on Lake Saint Clair. The house was amazing, and the host thinks of everything. The house is even better than the photos and is very well equipped. Definitely a great spot for a group to fish or a family just to hang out by the water.

Best on Anchor Bay!

Best place to swim, paddle board, jet ski, fish, watch the sunset and relax on Anchor Bay. The rental home was immaculately clean, well equipped and comfortable. Kristen, our hostess, responded to all our contacts quickly and was super helpful.

Amazing Lake House!

Kristen was awesome to work with. We stayed 3 nights at the place and it absolutely exceeded expectations. Check in/out was easy and streamlined. We brought the boat over and getting in and out of the canal was no problem and she had a big space to tie up over night. I would absolutely stay here again!
