Lots of amenities & well stocked

A very clean and well stocked house on a nice lake! We had a wonderful stay- there's lots of room in the house, a spacious yard front & back, sandy beach, paddle boards, kayaks & a rowboat. The house had everything we needed to cook a few meals and the house is in a great location- Gaylord is close by with grocery stores and restaurants and there's lots of golf courses close by. We really enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic family retreat

Great little lake that have the fish literally jumping at night. Great sandy beach. Great little bike ride around the lake or upt the street to the snowmobiling trails for some icecream. Great location for day trips. Clean and comfortable for our family of 7.

Great vacation

This was the finest vrbo property we have ever rented. It is spacious, well appointed, and has a beautiful view of Heart Lake. The waterfront is perfect for all activities. The hosts could not have been nicer and answered our every question and need. In fact, my family is already pressuring me to rent this property for next summer.

Family Vacation

This is a beautiful home on a peaceful lake, we enjoyed total relaxation, listening to the sound of the calling loon was amazing! The home provides every comfort needed for a perfect summer family vacation! Sunny beach, shaded deck, firepit, kayaks and paddle boards. After a day of play on the beach, sleeping accommodations were very comfortable. Two bathrooms make it extremely convenient; plenty of room for everyone around the large kitchen table and relaxing in lazy boys for a movie at night. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Golf weekend success

Aunts and Nieces Weekend

We had a wonderful time at Pat and Gail's place. It was a quiet, beautiful setting with ample gathering space outside on the deck and inside. We cooked together and had all the appliances and utensils we needed, we played games in the spacious living room and sat around the deck drinking coffee and catching up. It was perfect and a central location for those of us who traveled from Grand Rapids, Detroit and the UP. We will be back:)

Perfect weekend getaway

We loved everything about the cottage. It doesn’t feel like a rental. It feels like a home. All the small details, make it cozy and comforting. It’s a gem. The lake is beautiful and quite quiet. We seen 2 eagles, osprey, fish, and some kind of river otter looking little guy. We will definitely be back. Thank You.

Lake house

Perfect house to spend time with the family. Clean, comfortable and happy. We enjoyed the lake, the kayaks and the paddle boards that were there to use. The kitchen table fit all 10 of us comfortably. The lake was clean and beautiful. Birds, fish, loons and ducks kept us company. The kitchen was clean and the stove and appliances were top notch. I just am in love with this house and property. This is the first house I would definitely rent again. We do a family vacation every year and out of all of them this was the best. Anyone who rents this house will not regret it. Thank you for sharing your house!!

A truly loved vacation home

Firstly, this place was immaculately clean. The antique furniture, embroidered wall hangings, old family photos and stained glass window on the door are just a few of the great details that make this place feel like you are spending the weekend at granny and grandpa's lake house. There are quality, well done updates that do not take away from lived in charm of this home. Almost every window had a great view and blinds which isn't something you think about until you don't have them. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, cooking items and dishes. There is plenty of space to spread out in and lots of sleeping areas. The host, Gail, was awesome and more than accomodating. Heart Lake is beautiful. It is surrounded by houses, but there are a lot of trees so it feels private and natural. We came here for an ice fishing weekend but even though we didn't have any luck, it was still a great time. We would love to come here again.

Far exceeded my expectations!

Amazing property! The cottage was SUPER clean and had everything we needed to set up home for a week. All of the modern appliances & washer/dryer to make things easy. It was decorated in classic cottage with a beautiful mix of vintage pieces and modern comfortable. Lovely quilts decorated the walls along with family photos. Very homey. Close to town to grab our groceries and to visit The Call of the Wild on our 1 raining morning to see the "wildlife" and of course buy some fudge. Thank goodness for the AC since our week was HOT Beds were plentiful and very comfortable. Everything was clean and fresh. Lots of clean towels in both bathrooms. Livingroom has lots of comfy seating and fantastic views of the lake and also the giant TV for evenings in. The star of the show was definitely the lake and beautiful sandy beach. My special needs adult daughter was easily able to navigate to the beach area and the gentle slope into the water made swimming/floating easy. The water was crystal clear and warm (but cool enough to be refreshing.) She also enjoyed building sandcastles in the clean sand. We were on the beach and in the water every single day. We watched a loon right along shore daily (who made sure the geese stayed away,) lots of tiny toads, a speedy bunny, a heron (?,) and on our last day saw an eagle grab a snack right out of the lake. Check out was easy with clear instructions but of course it came way too soon. We are already planning our return trip next year.
