The house was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a week on the lake. Thank you! ##### Amy O. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas H. Aug 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Well-resourced House on the Lake We found this house well suited to six adults, three toddlers, and one infant. The house was well stocked with everything from bath towels to children's games and toys. And we took advantage of the water toys as well. We found the hosts responsive and communicated some minor issues we encountered at the house. If we're looking for a lake house in this vicinity in the future, we would definitely consider this house. ##### Douglas H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara Q.

Everything was perfect and we look forward to staying again next year! ##### Joan K. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff R. Jul 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything and more! We loved this house. The house had everything and more to ensure for a fabulous vacation. The weather was spotty but that did not taint our trip. Great fishing, water adventures, shopping at St. Joe's, venturing to wine and beer tasting, lounging in the adorable house. What more could one want? The eagles on the other side of the lake were probably the highlight of the trip. Thank you Brian and Marcella for letting us rent your perfect place. Hopefully we will be back in the future. Jeff, Michelle and Family ##### Jeff R. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony P. Jun 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### In spite of weather This property was great and raking with Brian and Marcella was very good. Loved the house and was in great shape. Unfortunately weather was severe and caused a shortage but would rent there again! ##### Anthony P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara M. Nov 28, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Thanksgiving get-away Everything about our stay was top notch! Beginning with the detailed communication from the owners, our stay was seamless. The listing was exactly as described and the property was extremely clean and tidy. We appreciated the lengths the owner went to, making sure the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. We loved having the game room to give our group two main areas to hang out in. The 4 bedrooms provided ample space, as well. Our only regret was that the cooler November weather didn’t allow us to use the walk out bar but we could see this would be another great space during the cooler months. We will definitely be back during the summer when we are able to enjoy the lake and its activities. Do not delay or debate on this property. You will not be disappointed! ##### Sara M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordan S. Nov 16, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very accommodating! We had a great experience with the hosts. They included some nice touches, and had a very stocked house with items to use. The weather was perfect to sit outside by the lake, but we would love to come back in the summer! ##### Jordan S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Americas Best Value Inn Birch Run](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Americas-Best-Value-Inn-Birch-Run.h459526.Hotel-Information) > > [Americinn by Wyndham Birch Run/Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Of-Birch-RunFrankenmuth.h121385.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Birch Run-Frankenmuth, MI](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h64238.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Birch Run - Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Birch-Run-Frankenmuth.h64091.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Life Awaits with Boat Pier, Beach, Hot Tub, Parking on Paw Paw Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Watervliet-Hotels-Lake-Life-Awaits-At-Lakehouse-With-Hot-Tub.h109501680.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Traverse Resort And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Traverse-City-Hotels-Grand-Traverse-Resort-And-Spa.h23524.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Circuit of the Americas](https://www.expedia.ca/Circuit-Of-The-Americas-Hotels.0-l6219462-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels.d177983.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cambria Hotel Shelby Township - Detroit Utica](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Shelby-Township-Detroit.h36376648.Hotel-Information) > > [Resorts Phoenix](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Resort-Hotels.d178298-aaResortHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Watertown](https://www.expedia.ca/Watertown-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d448-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express Birch Run - Frankenmuth Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Birch-Run-Frankenmuth-Area.h59593.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Sands Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mears-Hotels-Silver-Sands-Hotel-Resort.h113038818.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a Pool in Comox](https://www.expedia.ca/Comox-Hotels-Hotel-With-Pool.0-0-d4052-tHotelwithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Schooner House -Bay View Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Traverse-City-Hotels-Schooner-House-Bay-View-Cottage.h100908442.Hotel-Information) > > [Crooked Lake Cottage-Lakefront Cabin](https://www.expedia.ca/Manistique-Hotels-Crooked-Lake-Cottage-Lakefront-Cabin.h75611651.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn & Suites Monroe](https://www.expedia.ca/Monroe-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites.h23032.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in South Carolina](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-South-Carolina-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d242-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [White Pine Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Marquette-Hotels-White-Pine-Lodge.h12621845.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Birch Run/Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Birch-RunFrankenmuth.h60671.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Superior Snowmobile Basecamp|Trail Access|4BR](https://www.expedia.ca/Paradise-Hotels-Just-Beyond-Paradise-Where-Time-Slows-Down.h88663928.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Oklahoma City (OKC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/okc/regina-to-oklahoma-city) > > [Flights from Louisville (SDF) to Nashville (BNA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sdf/bna/louisville-to-nashville) > > [Flights from Creston, BC (YCZ) to Calgary, AB (YYC-Calgary Intl.)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ycz/yyc/creston-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Chauchina (GRX) to Sant Josep de sa Talaia (IBZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/grx/ibz/granada-to-ibiza) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yyc/kelowna-to-calgary) ### Packages
