Another outstanding stay

This is a wonderful place to stay, it’s clean and well kept. Mike and Christine just replaced their old grill with a brand new Webber grill! We really enjoy cooking on the new grill amongst many other wonderful attributes this house has to offer. The 3 bathrooms and many sleeping arrangements are great for us 7 guys! Tom

Wonderful place for vacation!

We enjoyed our stay! The house was very well stocked with necessities! The grandkids loved the swimming and the floating mat! My husband had a lot of fishing success right of the dock! We would definitely stay there again. It was very peaceful and quiet!

Pure Heaven

This was our third year to spend a week together at Peace of Pine. We had 4 generations, from 10 to 90 years old and everyone was comfortable and happy! The home is clean and beautiful and we love the location on the end of the lake for swimming and the dock for my son’s boat. We can hardly wait to return next year!

It's a beautiful place!

We really enjoy the big family room, where we hung out to watch football and tell stories of the fun day of fishing on the PM. The best part is all the beds that were available to us. The house was very clean with a spectacular view of the lake from the beautiful deck. it's a beautiful home, definitely the best place we have stayed over the last 20 plus years. Thank you, Christine and Michael, for being a wonderful hosts!

This property was perfect for our long weekend getaway. The house was clean and access to amenities were superb. When we had questions the responses were timely. The pictures do not do the property justice. It was even better in person!

Quiet, secluded lake home to relax

Great place to relax and hangout, we used as a home base for many West Michigan activities and state park visits. The stay quickly felt like being in our own home, the property owners pay great attention to detail, and their pride of ownership shines!

Absolutely Fabulous

Our family had an absolutely fabulous time at Peace of Pine! House was very clean, comfortable and spacious. Kitchen is well stocked with lots of cooking utensils and grill on deck was super clean and ready to use. Beyond creature comforts by far the best time was hanging out at the lake. Our grandkids, ages 5 & 3, spent hours fishing from the dock and swimming in the lake which is very clean and clear. Communication with the owners was prompt when we reached out to them. We are hoping to return next summer.

Great stay at Peace of Pine

This was our second visit to this wonderful home on Long Lake. The house was so clean and there was plenty of room for all 12 (4 generations) of us to stay and enjoy time away from busy lives. Our son even brought his jet boat and we had so much fun in the water. Ludington and Lake Michigan were a fun outing. We also enjoyed a drive up M22. We made such great memories that we can't wait to return and have already booked a week in this beautiful home for next summer!

Wonderfully Relaxing Family Vacation

This location was perfect and the home was very clean. The lake was large enough that paddleboarding and kayaking were enjoyable and calm enough that swimming was easy for the young ones. Thank you for having us, we look forward to another visit soon!

Sanctuary on the Lake!

This was a wonderful experience from the moment we reserved Peace of Pine, until the very end of our stay! The property owners are fantastic, communicating promptly and with great care. The property itself is like a piece of heaven. Soooo clean, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a warm decor that made us feel at home immediately. The view is STUNNING! Our first visit to Michigan and to Peace of Pine already has us wanting to go back! Thank you for sharing the gift of your home with us!

Peaceful getaway

We rented this house to celebrate my moms 70th birthday with all her children and grandchildren. The house was very clean and well equipped. The views were amazing from the living room and deck. The lake was clean and perfect for the kids to swim in. We enjoyed canoeing, kayaking and fishing. The lake was very quiet and surrounded by large pines. It truly lived up to its name and pictures. We had a wonderful time!
