Very peaceful ## Ludia M. — Grand Rapids, Michigan — August 2026 — 5★ My husband and I had such a lovely time here! Made great use of the kayaks and sauna. The host was very responsive and allowed for an early check in, which was much appreciated. ## Brooklyn S. — Decatur, Michigan — August 2026 — 4★ Beautiful location! Very peaceful with the lake view. Kayaks were nice to be able to use. ## Michele F. — Dublin, Ohio — August 2026 — 5★ Beautiful and peaceful place, we didnt get check out instructions before we left but I think we did a good job. ## Kourtney O. — Portage, Michigan — August 2026 — 4★ Overall, we had a great time. Although, I was really disappointed with the “cold plunge” which was advertised but it was full of green dirty water with no way to dump, clean, or refill. This is one of the main reasons we booked the house so I was disappointed overall. When I reached out to the host, he said he’d call but never did. There were 2 boats and people on our dock which they said was not shared but obviously, it was. Those were the few things that made this trip less than perfect. Overall, the lakes were great, house was cute, neighborhood was safe, sauna was lovely. ## Gina S. — Aurora, Illinois — August 2026 — 4★ I have mixed reviews. The house was beautiful and well arranged. Great view! The problem was the execution of the rental. First, when I rented, I made it clear that I was renting due to the cold plunge and inquired about whether I needed to bring anything or know anything. I was told it was self cooling. In fact, it was a horse trough filled with algae. No cover. There was no obvious way to drain it. I inquired and was told that things outside get dirty. It was not usable and that was just not an acceptable answer to me. Additionally, the house had literally no instructions. For example, how to use the sauna, where are the life vests (if there are life vests), where is beach access, etc. Additionally, there were no checkout instructions so we did nothing other than leave. I’ve never seen that happen. The dryer was still running when we got there and the house seemed cleaned, but not overly clean if that makes sense. 5 stars=house, 3 stars= property management. ## Frankie S. — Clarkston, Michigan — August 2026 — 5★ We had such a great time, the place was perfect for our weekend getaway! ## Karis V. — Lowell, Michigan — July 2026 — 5★ What a perfect vacation. We had the best time! ## Mike G. — Howell, Michigan — July 2026 — 5★ Beautiful house, the lake is amazing. Our group had a blast thank you again! ## Nick S. — East Grand Rapids, Michigan — July 2026 — 5★ Excellent spot, very peaceful, beautifully decorated, fenced in yard for the dogs, plenty of kayaks, and very friendly neighbors ## Ashley H. — Greenville, Ohio — July 2026 — 5★ The house is cozy with a beach vibe. The lake is beautiful and peaceful ## Gina E. — Jackson, Michigan — July 2026 — 5★ The home was clean, the area was amazing, they really helped get us a pontoon rental which was amazing. We had access to all 3 lakes. However the steps to the dock was a little scary but manageable. Overall I would definitely rent again ## Anaregina S. — El Paso, Texas — June 2026 — 5★ Great location right on the lake. Very peaceful neighborhood and host was great at communicating during our stay! ## Ann F. — Columbus, Ohio — June 2026 — 5★ This place was very idyllic. We spent a couple of relaxing days and wish we could have stayed more ## Sophia A. — Detroit, Michigan — June 2026 — 5★ Beautiful view the house was super clean and the sauna had an amazing view ## Emma K. — May 2026 — 5★ Had an absolutely wonderful time, I wish we could have stayed longer and used all the amenities! Hosts were super responsive and helpful and I loved the place. Beds were comfortable, view was beautiful, lots and lots of natural light. ## Alexis C. — Lansing, Michigan — May 2026 — 5★ Kayaks were fun. ## Andrew E. — Kalamazoo, Michigan — May 2026 — 5★ Great place right on the lake ## Alexander L. — Ypsilanti, Michigan — May 2026 — 5★ We had a great time, beautiful spot for a getaway at the lake ## Coleton D. — Kingsville — May 2026 — 5★ Amazing stay!
