The house is amazing for an up north vacation home. The decor is beautiful. The house itself was great for both kids and adults. The only bad thing is it is right next to a public boat launch which we did not realize. There was lots of activity including people, dogs and boats that made the home feel less private.

Reviewer Comments: Such a pretty fall view. There were more options than what was listed in the description. Paddle boat, row boat and the kayaks. Lake does not allow motors which wasn't listed so I'm glad we didn't bring a boat. The only downside was there wasn't a dishwasher. Some rooms didn't have vents and there were thin quilts so more bedding blankets would've been nice. ##### Brittany H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ken K. Jul 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great time, but…… Very nice inside and lakeside. Great accommodations, but a little rundown from the roadside. That view is the first impression. The porch and front deck boards need repair and in serious need of weeding. During our stay the hot water heater died and we went 30 hours without. Repairs were made and the rental folks followed up, but received no compensation. In spite of that we would consider another stay. ##### Ken K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jason T. Aug 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great time at this house on the lake The house was very clean and well kept. Many windows that overlook the lake. Location is very nice. 30 minutes or so to Traverse City, about 1 hr to Petoskey. Also many nice golf courses near by. Pretty secluded but there is a market 15 minutes away. Only missed 5 star IMO was the area down to the lake. They did not provide any pictures since it has weeds and very small. Only a small path to dock. Firepit very close to house since there is no room. Also on the deck was a nice gas grill. After buying food to grill, found out the propane tank was empty. Would expect a $15 tank fill up would be included especially for the price we paid. We made the best of things and still had a great time. Thank you !! ##### Jason T. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jamie M. Aug 13, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Overall good stay If you care about bugs inside the house, this isn’t the place for you. The windows, while closed, still allows bugs to enter the house. We vacuumed up some bugs, but they kept coming. Other than that, the place was good. Kayaks were nice, though only four adult life vests. We purchased kid life vests at a Dunhams sporting goods store in Traverse City since the house didn’t have any for kids. Swimming at the house was ok - though you sunk into the mud and the dock area was all lily pads. The beach on the other side of the small lake was better for swimming. Nice stay but would look for another rental for next year’s vacation. ##### Jamie M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa M. Jun 18, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Lakehouse with a view but needs some attention to details The layout of the house and the lakefront views almost made up for the shortcomings discovered during our stay. Loose boards on the front porch are a hazard that caused a guest to trip and fall. The dining room chairs’ legs were so wobbly they were not safe to sit on. The cupboards above the microwave were covered in grease, there were cobwebs on the dining room and game room lamps, and it was obvious no high dusting had been done in quite some time. The amenities were a nice touch along with the spice rack for cooking. However, the outdoor grill only had one burner that worked so we didn’t get to enjoy grilling out. The game room was enjoyed by all. The lake decor in blue is adorable. It was disappointing to spend a significant amount of money for a vacation getaway and not get the quality I expected for the price. ##### Melissa M.

Jul 29, 2024 #### A Cute House with a Few Caveats Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is super-cute and the lake is perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding since it's a no-wake lake. I do think it's worth mentioning that this house is right next to the boat ramp for the lake, which is important because residents in the community seem to think that the phrase "boat ramp" is synonymous with "dog park" and "public beach." It would be fine if the community would use the spot to just launch their boats but on a few days there were a lot of people loitering around and dogs running off-leash and it honestly made me a bit uncomfortable--the place did not feel very private or secure when that was going on. I'm sure many people would be fine with this feature but I think it should be in the property's description so that people know what they are signing up for. The house is in pretty good condition but could use some TLC when concerning the carpet in the basement, and I didn't use the upstairs bedroom but it needs its own AC unit. It would have been way too hot for me to stay up there. The decor is really cute and unified, and the view of the lake from the house is really lovely. ##### Claire G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer R.

Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very Nice home, very clean loved the separated areas for kids and adults. All 3 levels had balconies. The host checked in with us to.make sure everything was good and we figured everything out. (Was very nice of her! ) At first our dog had difficulty with the spiral staircase but quickly overcame them . The teens were fascinated with the spiral staircases! Nice firepit and chairs to relax around . Overall great stay ! ##### Jerry D.
