Our stay

The house was very nice., definetly the nicest home on the street. Small but very clean and had everything you need. The beds were very comfortable. On the two rainy days we had there were plenty of board games. Downtown Lexington was only 5 minutes away. The one drawback was the beach which was part of the association which we didn't know until we got the lease information. It was very rocky, no fault of the owners. My husband and I borrowed a rake from the neighbors and spent hours removing rocks to make it nice.

Clean and tidy home, with most items we needed to get started.

First impression of beach, all neighbors (over 12 homes) shared beach and it was crowed. As days rolled on into a week, we were able to have more isolated time on beach/lake access. Add mentioned and only showed three homes to share beach. We had a relaxing time just watching the boats, freighters, etc on Lake Huron. No sheets available for pull out bed in couch and TV internet, played one minute then froze for five making it difficult to watch movies at night. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and hopefully met his expectations of leaving the home in a clean fashion. Thank you for allowing us the visit. Would recommend to others. One last mention the town of Lexington closed down on Tuesdays for religious reason, which is a new one for us. Other sites like in Croswell - flea market and Western town were non-existent but that was the fault of the businesses not updating the internet sites they advertise in the 15 hot spots to visit.

Cozy and clean with a great view

The cottage was immaculate and even better in person than in the photos. There was a beautiful view of Lake Huron from the deck and a gently sloped walk down the nearby small bluff led to the crystal clear waters of the lake. We enjoyed rock hunting and sitting on the beach reading, though there were some pesky flies. The owner contacted us before and during our visit to ask if we had any questions, and to make sure we had what we needed. There was a delightful breakfast place, Bush's, very close. The neighbors were friendly and introduced us to their cat, Scooter. All in all it was a wonderful getaway, just an hour and a half from our home. Thank you David!

The house was the best part

The house was very nice. It had everything we needed and we basically stayed here the entire vacation. The owner is very nice and communicates extremely well. The view of the lake was obstructed by a commercial boon truck that had residue on it from winter. The neighbor across the road was rebuilding his home and the hammering was constant every morning. . The lake opens to a sandbar that is great for swimming and the local neighbors who share the beach seem reluctant, yet friendly to engage. I would hate for my; less than stellar, outlook on Lexington as a hot vacation spot to discredit the beauty and functionality of this home. The owner owns the nicest house on the block. I probably won't stay again, but I will recommend it if you are staying in the area. It's a true gem.

Beautiful September Retreat

We so enjoyed the stunning view of Lake Huron. Sitting on the deck, looking at the water and watching the freighters was exactly what we wanted to do to escape the Florida heat. The furniture and bedding were comfortable and kitchen well equipped.

Clean and Comfortable Cottage

My sisters and I had a wonderful stay at Whispering Willows! The cottage is comfortable and very clean. What a great view of the water from the living area! The beach is so close and down a nicely stepped walkway. I enjoyed relaxing on the wooden swings overlooking the lake from above and on the beach. The owners were excellent to work with and available for questions. The rental agreement had very detailed information on it which was quite helpful. We would definitely love to rent Whispering Willows again!

Was everything we'd hoped for and more!

Just returned from a week-long stay and we couldn't have been more pleased! The property was as advertised and then some! It was very clean, quiet, the decor was very nice, the home was outfitted with everything you could ever need and the owners were very pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend this property (as I already have to a few friends and family) and will be booking a stay for next summer. Thank you so much for opening your home to us and providing a wonderful place to make some great memories!

Lovely property with a beautiful view of the lake.

The cottage was exactly what we were hoping for! It was clean and decorated in a comfortable, welcoming way. It was exactly as pictured. The outside deck was spacious, and from it we had a beautiful view and close walk to the lake. The sunrises were magnificent! The owner was so pleasant to work with and available for any questions. We had a wonderful time and will definitely rent it again.

Great place!

The house is fantastic! Much better than the other lake front cottages we have stayed in before! Nice fully supplied kitchen and bathroom. Very comfortable place. The deck is awesome! It was nice to have a private beach, although the weather didn't coopoerate enough to let us fully enjoy it! Owner is very nice and easy to work with. This is the perfect place for a getaway. Super close and easy drive from Metro Detroit area, but feels like you are three thousand miles away!

Life on the Beach; Coffee on the Deck

A friend and I planned a girlfriends getaway weekend over the fourth of July. Whispering Willows was a cute, clean, cottage with a large deck overlooking Lake Huron. We spend most days on the beach, talking, reading, swimming,and chatting with the neighbors - who generously offered us the use of their kayaks. Mornings were spent on the large deck drinking coffee and watching the sun rise over the lake. For one dinner out, we went to the Brewery House in Lexington which provided a wide choice of micro beer along with their own excellent wine; the best Michigan wine I have sampled to date. Lexington set off fireworks over the water on Friday and four other communities set off fireworks all down the coast on Saturday; we could seethe all from the beach. We had a wonderful stay --- can't wait to go back!

Why they chose this property

This is our summer home that has been in our family for over sixty years. We completely renovated the home from the ground up in 2000 and we have meticulously maintained it over the years. We differentiate by offering an home that is fresh and very clean with modern conveniences.

We also specialize in catering to book scraping weekends with two large kitchen tables that over look the lake. The tables provide ample room to spread out pictures and photo albums to capture the memories from days past.
