Aug 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our second time coming and it was absolutely amazing! Check in was simple and the hosts are the best! The sauna was a perfect way to wind down after kayaking the 3 lakes chained together. Such a sweet little carriage house! Especially coffee and breakfast on the upstairs screened porch. Beautiful place. So serene and hidden. Cant wait to come back again!! ##### Megan S.

Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful seclusion The property was beautiful and exactly what we were hoping for. The lake was extremely quiet, even on a hot weekend and you wouldn't even know anyone else was around the property the entire time. Very enjoyable experience and we're already contemplating when we can make a return trip. ##### Ben K. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher I. Oct 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquility in the Fall The property is as advertised in a secluded part of lake country. The house is unique and fosters excellent time spent with family but the opportunty for beautiful escapes on foot or bike is abound. With direct lake access and a wood fired sauna, the opportunity to sink into solitude is readily available, while access to a public beach, biking and hiking trails, and a 25 min drive to civilization in Grand Rapids, this location was perfect for our family to disconnect for a few days and spend quality time.together.
