Would stay again. ## Ana R. — Chicago, Illinois — May 2026 — 5★ It was a very beautiful and peaceful experience during our stay! It felt cozy & homey, we enjoyed every minute of our stay here in Michigan especially celebrating me and my mom’s birthday with family together. Just wished we could have stayed for longer but will make sure that we get another chance to visit once again in the summer! ## Amie P. — Middletown, Ohio — April 2026 — 5★ Fantastic place to stay on the lake! The views are amazing and make it all worth it. Friendly neighbors, close to things to do, everything for a lake life. ## J Ellsworth T. — Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan — April 2026 — 5★ thank you ## Vitali C. — Willow Grove, Pennsylvania — March 2026 — 5★ Very cozy , great sauna , great location , wonderful host . ## Quinton M. — Mecosta, Michigan — March 2026 — 5★ The stay at the cabin on the lake was great! I felt very cozy in this cabin and watching the birds on the lake was a reset that I really appreciated. Remote and quiet; the perfect location to do some writing. ## Meryl W. — Grand Rapids, Michigan — March 2026 — 4★ This place was lovely, but we weren’t given many instructions beforehand and Google took us to a different, nearby house. It might’ve been easy to figure out in the daylight, but not after dark. Also had to ask for instructions on the sauna. Host was responsive but most of the time was AI, and sent a message after basically guilting you into a five star review, saying to share anything negative privately. The house itself was nice, sauna was great. Could use some window blinds for privacy, but overall a lovely place. > **Response from ROAM:** Hello Meryl, No AI responses from us, but of course we do have some "templates" that we have typed that get sent to each guest for check in info, check out info, etc. Many of them we have wrote, and rewrote, so they are pretty structured and polished and I can see if you think that makes it AI. We're a purely human driven company! All the instructions are available in our digital manuals, I did copy it for you when you asked for it, but it was available at any time for your use. Thank you for staying with us! We do ask that guests provide us private feedback so that we can engage in a conversation to learn where things could have gone better. It's helpful so we can try to continuously improve the guest experience. ## Douglas T. — Tulsa, Oklahoma — February 2026 — 5★ Nice and Peaceful place, Stayed 10 days during February and enjoyed the fire places and the view of the lake, would definitely recommend it ,Winter or Summer. ## Valeria A. — Howard City, Michigan — February 2026 — 5★ A beautiful place for a weekend lakeside getaway. House had everything that was needed. Cozy and family friendly. A great stay. ## Matthew N. — Grand Rapids, Michigan — January 2026 — 5★ Host was very responsive ## Brett R. — January 2026 — 5★ Very nice stay ## Alisha M. — Alpena, Michigan — January 2026 — 5★ Tranquil location yet close to plenty of fun things to do. We loved the sauna but didnt get to use the ice bath due to the lake already being froze over! Easy in and out parking and Walmart even delivers here! Will return in the summer for sure ## Cristina E. — Sebewaing, Michigan — January 2026 — 5★ very nice place host we're great to work with. Would definitely recommend staying there ## Liz B. — Grand Rapids, Michigan — December 2025 — 5★ We had a great time here on a VERY last-minute Christmas trip. Very peaceful spot, and it was great that it was dog friendly. You can get down to the lake via a very short walk to through the backyard. The host was not kidding when they said they had a fully stocked kitchen - we did a lot of cooking and had everything we needed and more (and the kitchen and stove are BEAUTIFUL!)! The fireplace in the main living room was so wonderful and warm. We would definitely stay here again. Our (minor) complaints were that some of the furniture is a bit old, the master bedroom fan rattles a lot, and we could not figure out how to work the fireplace in the living room adjoining the kitchen because there were no instructions/house manual. Other than that, we would definitely stay here again - it was well worth the trip. Thank you for accommodating us on such short notice! ## Vanessa M. — Oak Lawn, Illinois — December 2025 — 5★ This place is beautiful! Felt right at home and we all loved it so much! The only flaw was the master bed was very uncomfortable to sleep in (hard and sunked in) aside from that everything else was beautiful! ## Keaton K. — Fort Wayne, Indiana — November 2025 — 5★ Great place to stay, everything was perfect. ## De'Shane Z. — Dearborn Heights, Michigan — November 2025 — 5★ Great place, very responsive to messages. Will be back. > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you, De'Shane! ## Michelle M. — Clinton Township, Michigan — October 2025 — 5★ My husband and I booked this beautiful lake house for a fall weekend get away. The home and surroundings were beautiful and the sauna was a great added touch! Seems like it would be a fantastic summer stay as well with the lake and water toys, will have to try it out again!! > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you! :-) ## Matthew C. — Sterling heights, Michigan — October 2025 — 5★ Very nice , clean lake house . Had a great weekend. Good views of the lake right from the bedroom . Fun having the kayaks even with it being cold. Deer came right up to the house while we were outside . Thank you to the host!! > **Response from ROAM:** Thank you! :-) ## Melanie D — Clinton Township, Michigan — October 2025 — 5★ We had a great time with the family and our pets! The house is beautiful and we will definitely return! --- - Site index (for AI): https://roamstays.com/llms.txt _A machine-readable copy of this reviews page.
