    The house had plenty of room for our family of 6 plus our granddaughter. House is on kind of a point on the lake, which was good since it seemed to catch a lot of the lake breezes when it was so hot in the house. We did notice quite a few spiders on the dining room ceiling but were able to vacuum/sweep them up. Overall it was a good place to stay.

    We had a pleasant stay. The beds were comfortable, the place was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, the lake was pretty and quiet.We enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboat (we didn't use the row boat) along with the bench swing in the back yard.The fire pit was big and had 4 Adirondack chairs.Mild cons. There is no screen on the patio slider. No AC, but we only had hot weather the last day or two. If you aren't used to well water, it can be off-putting because of the smell, but the water pressure was good and plenty of hot water. Naturally, with a rural area, the cell service is weak, at least for Verizon, but there is decent wifi.I would recommend the house.

    Property had everything we needed, plenty of space for 5 people and a dog. Fishing was excellent, caught well over 100 fish the entire week. Tip for unlocking deadbolt, pull the door towards you to align.

    Very nice, clean & pet friendly lake house. Everything as posted in the listing. We had A communication with the Host. Enjoyed the use of the row boat, paddle boat & kayaks. We did a lot of fishing with the kayaks, catching over 60 bass & pike during our week stay. Our Dachshunds enjoyed the lake in the paddle boat. Enjoyed activities and restaurants in Gaylord and a day at Mackinac Island, only an 1 1/2 hours away. I totally recommend this property for your vacation.

    Property was as listed. Check in/out process was easy. Interaction with owner was excellent! James was very prompt responding to messages and he was very gracious in offering early check in and out. The cottage offers great views of the lake from inside as well as from the large deck. We would definitely consider staying at the quiet cottage again! check out.

    Key pad didn’t work so we couldn’t get in til repairman came. Cottage was nice and clean. Fourth bedroom is a very small loft room with very steep steps and with no AC, it was too warm for anyone to sleep up there. We weren’t expecting that and needed that sleep space. We were also charged extra for tub cleaning and window cleaning. Little ones (2 and4) played with colored soap in tub which caused ‘extra cleaning’. The water is so rusty, the bath rub required extra scrubbing for that, not kid soap. We tried to clean windows from little fingerprints with no glass cleaner. We didn’t know we needed to bring glass cleaner. Needed more sand for kids to play nicely. Not kid friendly.

    We had great time even though we had a lot of rain. The house and amenities were all matching the listing. Great fishing. Near to Gaylord and golf courses. Water filtration was not operating effectively giving a very bad odor to the water we used bottled water for drinking and cooking. The guide book in the house does not list the day of the week garbage is collected and my VBRO account could not retrieve my check in key email with day of the week to put garbage out at the street. I did incur additional charge for the garbage which is fair for the home owner. VBRO is responsible for their technology issues they could not resolve with my account.

    The perfect size for us three old women. Loved that everything was on one floor. Fishing was fantastic. We binge watched Survivor. Only thing we wished for was a couple of recliners.
