Keeping this one on our short list

This is a nice quality property that met our needs wonderfully. Very spacious for the four of us. Visiting in late November, we didn't make use of the lakeside location or outdoor firepit, but the living room fireplace was very easy to use and provided extra warmth and ambiance. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would love to explore what it has to offer in warmer weather

Such a wonderful high school girl reunion of best friends

Thank you for much so much for such a wonderful property! Four of us high school friends, now in our late '50s, gathered for a reunion, fun, and fellowship. Your home provided the perfect setting for us. We absolutely loved the fire pit, as it was a tad rainy that weekend. Highly recommend!

Beautiful!

This house is in a great neighborhood, at the end of the street with an amazing view! The house itself is adorable, clean and spacious! The the swings outside around the fire pit were amazing. The stairs down to the lake were rough (not for the young ones! Haha!), but the view was worth it! My only suggestion would be to stock up on a few more cooking essentials like salt, etc. we had to buy several things, but left them for the next guests! :) The owner is quick to respond to messages and very kind! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again the next time we visited Michigan!

Thanksgiving Family Gathering

Located at the end of a private road, this Chalet is amazing. The property is beautiful, gently sloping down to the lake it also has direct access to trails through the State Park. The Chalet itself was spotless and well equipped with everything you could need. It made for a wonderful Thanksgiving for our family. Thanks Tim.

Relaxful Refuge

Unexpectantly, we lost a family member. We traveled across the state to honor the desire for my husband's parents to be buried together in Ortonville. With heavy hearts, we entered this home to find encouraging words and exceptionally clean surroundings. This is a stellar place of respite. Yesterday, we hosted a small gathering to honor my husband's mom. It was ideal for this meal together before several ventured home. Today, we walked to the park near the home and enjoyed the lovely views. What an amazing place to unwind and relax!

Great girls trip/Last fling before the ring

This home is so cute from the inside out. The host was very kind in answering any questions and even allowed an early check-in so I could decorate for the guest of honor. The outside area and view are amazing. The kitchen was small but for a weekend girl's trip, it allowed enough space for all. There was ample parking and the host stocked the house with all things you would need in a home away from home. Such a cute layout and I am sure a wonderful family getaway as well!

Great Place for Snow Birds

My husband and I are Florida residents that were happy to enjoy three weeks of perfect Michigan weather at the lake house. The swinging benches under the huge oak tree were our favorite spot to hang out. The large breezeway was a close second. Tried three of the many close by golf courses. Nice variety and reasonable green fees. We visited the adjoining State recreation park daily for walks and a better place to swim. Found nice dinner spots in Metamora, Lake Orion, and Goodrich. This rural residential area of Michigan is peaceful and beautiful. The welcoming and comfortable house was just right. Would return.

Beautiful lake house

This was our second time staying here and we had just as great a time as before. The fire pit is a perfect spot for a small get together and access to the lake and nearby park make for some fun lake activities. The house itself is well kept and quite comfortable. The owner was quite friendly and made sure everything went well. Overall just a great place to stay.

Comfortable and relaxing

Four cousins and I stayed for a Friday/Saturday night. Everything was clean and there was enough space to spread out. We enjoyed a brief dip in the lake and a long Saturday night on the swing benches chatting by a fire. Tim was very easy to communicate with regarding check-in and entry to the home. We didn't encounter any issues. Would return if we ever head back to the Michigan area.

A++++

This was perfect. We are 2 childhood friends who grew up within a few miles of this location but moved away in different directions 40+ years ago. We came back to do a pilgrimage to the Hadley Hills Pinnacle & our Lutheran roots by visiting the cemetery on Cemetery Hill. We had a couple of daytime gatherings at the house prior to our trek. Everyone was impressed.
