Great Multi-family home
End of August stay. Home is big with ample room for multi-family; very clean and well-stocked. We tried to figure out the sound system ( didn't really want to purchase or cancel apps) but didn't- not a big deal. Would have been nice to be able to park our ride in a garage. Trail is at end of road. One nice day trip is the Joyce estate in Chippewa National Forrest- hiking and history- good find.

A comfortable and enjoyable stay!
Our stay included 9 adults and 2 children and the house provided plenty of space both inside and out. We spent many hours around the bonfire pit and easily enjoyed cooking and eating meals together in the large kitchen. It was a short walk, less than 10 minutes, to the beach which included access to a trail and a playground. The house was well equipped and the host, Eric, was very helpful.

Beautiful home with enough room for everyone
This home is very large and absolutely beautiful. It was perfect for our large group which consisted of 4 families. The bunk room downstairs was a great option for the kids. The master suite is amazing. Communication with the host was easy, and check in was simple. The house was very clean and had the most beautiful, well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the huge fire pit and the close proximity to the park and beach. The kids loved the driveway loop for riding their bikes. We had a wonderful time and we were very happy to have this beautiful property as our home base. Would absolutely recommend!

Perfect getaway to enjoy the north woods and all the lakes!
What a beautiful home to host our group of 7. The rooms had everything to make us feel at home. The designs and the features are truly incredible. We definitely will love to come back! We explored the Tioga recreational area and swam/paddle boarded in the Iron pit almost everyday during our stay. There is a pathway to the Tioga beach at the end of the Hillcrest drive. My boys went out fishing everyday at Pokegama and caught some northern pikes. We hiked the Joyce estates trail and enjoyed the north woods. Eric is a wonderful host- he was very prompt in communicating when we reached out. He provided great tips about fishing, swimming and hiking around the area.

Cohasset get away
The facility was in excellent condition, very clean. The 4 bedrooms plus the bunk room provided plenty of space for us to spread out. Once there, it was a little way from the lake, but walkable and safe. It was also near a bike trail which I rode into Grand Rapids. The washer, wasn't working properly when I used it, and luckily the wasp nest on the swingset was not a factor when the toddlers played on it. We had planned 2 dinners on the grill, however the propane ran out after 1 and there was no spare available. I would stay here again. Left some items behind,texted the owner, never heard from the owner after we'd departed.

Very spacious house. Huge fridge. Loved the privacy and the easy accessibility to the public beach. Eric graciously supplied us with a few extras - garden hose, extension cords and even a toddler wagon. Perfect place for a large family
