Fun and Relaxing Lake Resort

So much to say! Very pretty and quiet setting. Lots of space and so much to do. Beyond well-stocked - have never been to a VRBO where literally all home comforts are supplied. If the opportunity presents itself again, we'll be staying here.

Peaceful Getaway

Very clean home, well appointed kitchen, beautiful view of private lake, manicured yard perfect for bocce, cornhole and outdoor games, indoor and outdoor spaces to gather for meals and games. Pontoon boat and fire pit were a bonus. We traveled to the Michigan coast which was ~30 minutes away but spent the rest of the time enjoying time with family, beautiful sunsets and peaceful nights.

Relaxing family getaway on beautiful property.

My family and I stayed here for a short vacation. House is very well maintained and clean. Really enjoyed using the pontoon and kayaks on the private lake. Would recommend this property. Our only issue was that to get to the dock to the boat, we had to wade through about 6 to 8 inched of water, this was due to a large amount of rain in the previous days and my understanding is not the norm. This was not a problem for us, but could be an issue for someone with any mobility issues. Overall, a great place to stay.

Wonderful Family Getaway!

Our family of 7 adults and 1 dog had a wonderful long weekend getaway at the Hughes' home for the Fourth of July! The property is even more beautiful than the pictures show, and the Hughes were very response both prior to and during our stay. We loved the ease of using the pontoon boat every afternoon for a cruise around the lake and then coming back to cookout dinner on the large deck while watching the sunset over the lake. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything that we needed to make all of our meals at home for the entire weekend. The property is also within about 20-minutes' driving to anything you might need or enjoy - groceries, wineries, farmer's markets, and golfing. We certainly will be back!

Family vacation

This was perfect for our family vacation. It was peaceful and quiet with so many things to do. The house is big enough that everyone could have their own space. It was also stocked with everything we could possibly need. We just brought groceries and never had to leave. The pontoon was so much fun and having the kayaks was so enjoyable. This was our first family vacation in several years. Four adult children make schedules hard to coordinate. This was perfect!

The perfect vacation!

Pictures match reality perfectly!!! Huge yard. So much space inside, too. Kitchen full of necessary hardware. Additional private walk-out level with bedroom, shower/bathroom, table, mini-kitchen, and living area. Drank coffee in the mornings on the swing just outside the sliding doors. Quiet lake...went out every day and floated around the boat. Deck extends the entire back of the house and has multiple seating areas with views of the lake. Owners had great communication, making checking in and out a breeze. Looking forward to renting again.

This was our third year vacationing here and it's always a very nice experience. There's not a lot to do in the area, but the house is a great place to kick back and relax, and the owners are great to work with.

Perfect family getaway home in a seclude lot and lake!

This is a beautiful home and property that is well maintained both inside and outside! The pictures that you see online is exactly what the house and property looks like, absolutely stunning! It was also immaculate!! This by far was the BEST house that we've rented from Vrbo. We thoroughly enjoyed taking the pontoon boat out on the lake. The only drawback is that there is not an easy way to get into the lake, other than from the boat. There's not a sandy "beach" area to walk out from. It also would have been nice if there was a set of twin beds in the lower level and/or if there was a pull out sofa bed. My two grandsons, 12 & 13, slept on a blow up mattress and a foam padding on the floor. Other than that, the house was wonderful!

Family Getaway

Our first family vacation with our daughter, 2 sons, 2 daughters in law, and 2 granddaughters. We had plenty of space for everyone indoors and outdoors. It was perfect for a laid back weekend. We wished the hot tub was working though (something I personally looked forward to). We found out that it only was used in the winter. The Wi-Fi was not working either but conversations were plenty! All in all , it was a great place for a family get together!

Beautiful lake house

My family and I had an amazing time at this lake house. It was in a beautiful and secluded spot, with a gorgeous view of the lake. We had a blast kayaking and swimming in the lake. At night we enjoyed watching the fireflies. The house was clean and very comfortable. I stayed here with 4 adults and one child. The host was very responsive. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The house and location are perfect!

This is a beautiful, well kept home on a very nice private lake. The property owner / manager are wonderful to work with and the ammenities that are available can't be beat. We had six adults and three dogs and there was more than enough space for all. I like to travel with my dog, and finding a place this nice, clean and well kept and is also pet friendly is a rare treat. This was our second stay here and we plan on returning every year.

Fun Family Getaway

If you are looking to get away from a busy packed schedule, this is the place. Located in the country on a peaceful lake, you will have no trouble leaving the rush of day to day behind. We loved being able to bring the dog and having the pontoon was a huge bonus.

We were very pleased when we arrived and our stay was over the top enjoyable. We stayed at the house, went on pontoon boat rides, fished, swam and had fires in the fire pit every night. We will come back for another stay.

Great time with family

The house was very clean and comfortable on the inside. The outside deck and sliding glass doors were full of spider webs. I found wasp spray and got rid of wasp nest and spiders and swept the deck. The barbecue grill had foil with grease in it and was very dirty. Before making the reservation I emailed Teri and asked if there was a bathtub in any of the bathrooms because we needed one for my young grandchildren. She said there was a tub/shower combo. There is no bathtub in this home. I would think you would know if there was a bathtub in the house. I called Teri 2 times and did not get a response until a week after we had left. There is no place to get into the beautiful lake unless you take the boat out. You cannot walk into the lake, so the little ones could not play in the water. We had a great time with our family but next year we will look somewhere else.

Great spot

This is a beautiful secluded home on a nice quiet lake. Perfect for relaxing and having some fun. The home and property are exceptionally well cared for and the owners are very responsive. Use of the kayaks and the ability to rent the pontoon make this the most enjoyable VRBO experience we've had, which is saying a lot because I've been to quite a few. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy some family time.

Perfect getaway

House is set up great for 3 couples and a teenager, with dogs. Owners were pleasant to deal with. This property was like you would expect if a close friend left and said, hey come on over and use our lake house for the week. We usually don't stay in the same place twice, but this home might change our minds. Thanks Tom and Terri for sharing your place with us!

Private lake with no public access. Very quiet and secluded. Rarely any motor boats on the lake and feels like you're own personal lake.
