we had a great time as a family of eight
we stayed at this property for 3 nights. it had all the amenities we needed, and all the items were stocked. we really enjoyed the kayaks and the regular boat. when we got there we noticed that the glass table top was broken on the patio but Bryan sent someone out to clean the glass. but overall we really enjoyed our trip and we hope to rent this place again in the future. a few things we had noticed that need some attention or fixing. -The pillow covers were clean but the inside pillow had either sweat stains or urine -both the futons' covers/sheets were very dirty and with stains. -one of the futons was broken so we couldn't use it -The bedroom TV didn't work at all

Annual VAC
Tranquil scenery, relaxing atmosphere. However cost vs value is way off. Property is in desperate need of upgrade - inside/out. Odor of mothballs throughout during entire stay was unpleasant. Front door ring cam activated to watch/listen your everymove. Also need to be aware of motion activated Siri above kitchen/foyer corridor. Garbage piled up in garage from previous guests, fire pit full with garbage in it ( non-burnable items ), storage room below for lake items was a mess, icing on the cake was a power loss for 6 hours on SAT night. Suggest to set aside a percent of all the rental income you make on this property and reinvest in it.

Wonderful memories made
The cottage was clean, spacious with modern appliances. It had everything we needed in the kitchen. However the deck and beach is where we spent all our time. My 2 grandsons, 5&6, spent all their time in the water. Clean swim area and beach. My family enjoyed fishing off the dock and in the pontoon, available for an extra fee. Owner provided many outdoor seating choices. We had such a great time everyone wants a return visit next year with mire days.

Rainy and relaxing
The property location was easy to find, a beautiful location. Unfortunately it was cold, windy and rainy all weekend. The house was very clean, warm and comfortable. We stay up late every night talking over our experiences of the day with our best friends. Never got to go outside to use or look at the lake. We went east one day to Tony's I-75 restaurant and then to Frankenmuth. Highly recommend both places. The next day we went to the West coast to see some lighthouses, we had a great day. Monday on the way home we stopped in Holland to shop and sightsee. The location of the house was perfectly located for short day trips. We always ate locally and never had a bad meal. Thanks for opening up your house for us, our goals were all met this weekend. Had a great time! I did struggle with the door locks a couple times, but we did manage. Hopefully we can come back again sometime during the warmer months. Thanks again, we had a great time!! Kevin & Rhonda

Labor Day Weekend Fun
The property had everything we needed plus some. Could use some maintenance and a deep clean but that didn’t hinder us from totally enjoying our weekend or the property. The owner was super friendly and quick to respond to our questions and problems. Perfect place to take your boat to enjoy lake time, campfires in the evening, and peaceful mornings on the deck overlooking the lake.

Great family vacation
We had the best time! The kids loved the kayaks, dock outside of the house, fishing, swimming. The fun didn’t stop, even in the rain. The owner was great, we had a question & we got an immediate reply with a resolution. I would highly recommend this property for family vacations on the lake!

Family vacation
The property worked well for us. We did have a few concerns. A metal/cement pole near the garage was broken off at the base falling over leaving a sharp jagged piece of steel exposed. It was reported to property owner but not addressed. There were bags of garbage piled up in the garage. Grass needed cutting, exterior could use some care and a good power washing. The storage area for outdoor toys, water sports was stuffed full and potentially dangerous as there was stuff everywhere. We had to move things to get what we needed. Lastly, two days before checkout the lake was treated for weeds and we were unable to go in the water. Part of our party left early as their child could no longer swim. Owner told us to find a part of the lake that wasn’t treAted. I was not willing to swim in a chemically treated lake. Overall we enjoyed our family time together but these areas need to Be addressed.

Many memories made
We stayed with extended family for a week in July and we had a spectacular time! The kids loved the swimming platform and the private sandy beach. The views were breathtaking and the water was gorgeous! The island was the perfect place to kayak around and the paddle boat was a huge hit. The large and well-stocked kitchen made feeding our large crew simple and fun. The large dining table made it easy to enjoy meals and play games. We were able to rent and use the pontoon boat for a couple of days and had a great time trolling around and enjoying the lake. We had a few random questions and the owner was quick to respond and so helpful. We made some incredible memories and would love to stay again!

Nice cottage and lake view
The cottage was nice and open with a great view of the lake. Yard closest to road was just dirt due to a new septic system just installed but didn’t affect us really. The swimming dock was in bad shape and not put out but Bryan brought over a nicer one. Weather was not very warm so not much swimming. Used the pontoon just a few times due to weather also. Bryan gave us a discounted price. There were pop cans and and a bag of trash in the boat due to owners using it before we got there. No big deal but makes for a bad impression. They cleaned it up. The gas tank was maybe on 3/4 and so just filled the 5 gallon portable can when we left. Enjoyed the fishing, catching enough for a good meal and brought some bass fillets home too. Owners should clean up the area where they store the kayaks, canoe etc. kinda a mess in there. But we enjoyed our stay and had a good time in the cottage and on the lake.

A great home for a family to make summer memories and enjoy lake living. The owner was still preparing for summer after outside improvements. The deck needed power washed yet but still a great location.

About the host

Hosted by Bryan Gilreath

Host profile image
Our Family is from Lansing and Grand Rapids, MI. We love Michigan. Summer time at the lake has given us our best memories. We are so excited to have our kids and Grandkids spend time with us to provide them with the special memories they will have.

Why they chose this property

We have also been renters for many years. In 2003 we rented on School Section Lake and it became one of our favorite lake's in Michigan. When we realized this year we could finally get our lakefront property this is the ONLY lake we looked at. We love it that much. We finally made the decision to purchase this property because we were struck with the incredible view. We are directly across from this gorgeous colorful island with nothing but mature trees. And beyond that you see the hundreds of acres of county land that is free of cabins and left as nature intended it to be. We also realized quickly this is a home. It is beautiful and fully equipped with everything you need. You only need to bring your clothes, food and drink and plan on having everything else already here. The lake is special. It is well maintained by the Association for weed control, the clearest water around and this incredible 'up north feel'. It has character with the island, peninsulas and amazing mature pines. There is a county park on the lake that has an amazing swimming area and walking trails. However this is still a semi-private lake. The lake only allows boats with motors less than 10hp. We as property owners can have as we please. And this courtesy is extended to you if you choose to bring a boat or Jet Ski.

What makes this property unique

We don't want your experience to stop at the end of the dock. We have kayak's, paddle boat and swim platform. You can also bring your own boat or rent a pontoon if desired. The semi-private lake keeps boat traffic down. The morning, late evening no-wake's and all sports during the day it the perfect balance of peaceful cruising, fishing and the fun of an all-sports lake when you just want to get out and enjoy the water and the sun.
