Mullett Lake, Grandview Beach Lakefront Beauty

The house is PERFECTLY set up for guests! We had 6 adults and a dog, and it was plenty of space. The house had everything you could possibly need. The only warning I'll give, if you bring a dog, be alert and keep on a leash, the neighbors had two dogs that run off leash and charged our dog a couple of times (nobody was hurt).

Wow!! What a nice well cared for home. Made you feel right at home. Love the family photos and history!! We had so much fun in such a short time. We will stay longer next time and soak up more fun. So much to choose from: great fishing, swimming, great dinners in town, many nearby towns to hop and shop, hiking, biking or just relaxing at the cottage.(which is so easy to do). Thanks so much for making your home so pleasant to stay in. It brought back some memories and made some new ones. You can’t beat that. Be seeing you again!!! Thank you!!

What an amazing place. Very clean ,quiet , beautiful home and lake view. Couldn't ask for anything more. Will definitely be back .

Awesome villa! It really feels like home!!

Loved this cottage and the history that comes with it! It was very clean, well equipped - everywhere and so comfy. The owner was so nice and very responsive. Loved the open spacious living areas. Would definitely be on the list to return.

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage is clean and super well equipped! Our hosts thought of everything! The kitchen has all the equipment you need. There are games, marshmallow sticks, extra blankets, a boat, bicycles, life jackets in all sizes. I could go on and on. Plenty of space for a group. Suitable for families with small children. Claudia was available and responsive. I liked learning about the family through pictures on the wall and other informative materials. It was a very nice vacation.

The cottage was perfect for our family of 6 with plenty of room. The focal point is the large great room opening to the kitchen and the enclosed porch. Mullet Lake access was great and directly outside the door. The lake has a sandy bottom and is great for swimming. We enjoyed using the provided rowboat for some great fishing. The cottage is near the mouth of the Indian River and this area was great for fishing. Another great find was the North Central State trail with nearby access that was great for morning walks. Our favorite dining spots included Station 310 in Indian River and Breakers in Topinabee. For coffee we visited Wildwood Coffee in Indian River.

Very comfortable for our multi generational group, ages ranging from 2 year olds to grandparents. The hosts have thought of everything to make it a very enjoyable stay!

Very nice cottage on the lake. With lots of extras in the kitchen and bathrooms for your use. Excellant host making sure the house is all set up for your visit.

The house was perfect for our stay. The lake was so peaceful…just what we needed. We did lots of exploring in the area too!

Grandview Beach is wonderfully tucked away and perfectly located for our trip to Mackinac Island. The cottage is spacious, clean and adorable with touches of family history throughout and has absolutely amazing lake views. The home has an old family feel, making it warm & nostalgic, which we loved. The kitchen is well-stocked, as is everything in the home, with many extras - linens, games, puzzles & essentials. Our kids used the row-boat, enjoyed the bikes and the neighborhood is great. Our family made wonderful memories and had an enjoyable stay.

What a great place. It was like having our own vacation house. We had everything we needed ... and then some. The house is clean, cozy, and located right on the lake. The little peninsula we were on was just about empty, so we had the whole area to ourselves. The water is crystal clear, and the bottom mostly sandy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to go back again one day soon.

I had looked and looked for the perfect place to stay and was excited when I found The cottage in Grandview on Mullet Lake! Everything was perfect… Even the weather! The cottage was clean and in perfect shape, we enjoyed our evening fire right on the lake, taking the Row boat out, and being so close to other sites and places we wanted to visit! Our host was great and we can’t wait to go back!

Property was lovely. Beach front was wonderful. My husband had success fishing from his kayak. We were there in July and there were neighbors. I always prefer more seclusion but that is no fault of the property.

The place was great. Everything you need is in the house! Thanks for a great week!

Any review I give will not do justice to how wonderful our stay was. Claudia is the best. She answered any question I had. Everything you may need is in the kitchen. The beds are comfortable. It was clean, and comfortable, although we really spent limited time inside. We were either sitting out by the lake watching grandkids swim or out in the lake ourselves. I just can't say enough about this cottage. One downside for anyone that has health issues with heat, when we got there it was 90 and a bit warm inside. There is a portable AC that we did use but wasn't needed after the first night. We loved every minute of staying at the Valas Villa.

What a fabulous cottage! We couldn’t have had a better experience. We grew up going to our family cottage and this has so many things that reminded us of our favorite place. We brought many of our own supplies but didn’t need anything bc Claudia thinks of everything and is very generous! The cottage is spacious. We had 10 adults and never once felt like it was too crowded. The open floor plan allows everyone to be inside, doing different things, but still together. We also rented a pontoon boat from Inn Between Waterfront Rentals and were able to easily park it on the lift. Highly recommend renting a boat as is was fun to cruise down the river to Burt Lake or riding around Mullett and hanging out at the sand bar. The lake is amazing! The cottage is also close to many big cities so we had fun going to Mackinac Island, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Indian River. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and felt like home. Claudia is such a fantastic host and extremely quick to respond to all communications. Highly recommend this cottage! We will be back annually!

From the beginning communication with Claudia, to her flexibility with us bringing our fur-babies, to arriving to such an exceptionally well-appointed vacation rental, we were made to feel at home. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes, utensils, spices, coffees and teas we could need. The grill and flat iron griddle were a welcome cook feature. The dock was a perfect place to bring our 17-foot fishing boat and 23 foot tri-toon. We enjoyed exploring Mullett Lake, Indian River and Burt Lake. Very generous mayfly hatch made fishing more of a meditation activity than a catching crusade. But as they say, A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work Overall, this has been the BEST VRBO our combined 3 families have enjoyed in the last 6-years. Highly recommend Claudia's Valla Villa!! Thank you, Claudia

Cottage was well stocked with everything you need for a great stay.
