Thanks for the great stay. ##### Greg S. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Berta L. Aug 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy There was so much thought put into a comfortable stay for guests: brand new reading glasses, paper plates, paper bowls, disposable overate, great seduction of dishes, pots, pans, extra towels, extra pillows, extra blankets, coffee, ice bags, soaps, shampoo and more. The communication with Jake was excellent! We are coming back in the spring. Close enough for us to go see the Tahquamenon Falls, Dow Gardens, Whitefish Point, Mackinac bridge and our favorite was The Mouth of Two Hearted River State State Forest Beach. ##### Berta L.

Great for large families We had a wonderful stay! We had 3 families with children and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and visit. The house was very clean and well stocked. It had many activities and games for all ages. The hosts were great with communication and were quick to respond to questions and needs! Would definitely stay at this house in the future. ##### Amanda F. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris L. Aug 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Weekend retreat The property was very clean and ready for check in. Jake was exceptionally fast in responding to any of our questions and both check in and check out were very simple. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook several meals and we used the grill outside. When the dam is restored and the lake refilled this will be a perfect getaway. ##### Chris L. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda A. Jul 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun and Relaxing for the Whole Family! The property came with so many thoughtful amenities and was comfortable and private. We loved that there was so many games to play and space for everyone to hang out. The property owner was responsive and friendly and we met some cool and friendly neighbors. We’ll be back! ##### Amanda A. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### maria k. Jun 29, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Definitely will be back The place was great. Was everything we were looking for and more. The old lake bed was a treasure of shells, kids dug out there for hours. There is a small community park with swing sets and more sand. The kids were in digger heaven. House has TONS of games, the kids fell in love with bop it. Felt very safe. The house is closer to 28 minutes to Dow gardens. ##### maria k.

May 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lake Side Retreat Booked for proximity to Sanford/Midland MI area. Clean update property. Property host is very accommodating, we noticed no grill and a brand new grill was delivered the next day and was set up. You could sleep 9 very comfortably, even though we only had 4-6\. Outside patio lends itself to entertaining, big six person table and seating for 4 at the propane fire pit. Would definitely book again for a to the area…just a bummer Wixom Lake dam burst and it won’t be repaired until 2024 at the earliest. Very spacious and set up to entertain!! ##### Michael S.
