    We had a great week; fishing, swimming, shopping and pontoon rides around the lake. Kevin, our host, was very informative and helpful from start to finish. Thank you for the use of your home!

    The property had plenty of room for all the family coming and going throughout the week. It was clean, all the necessities were there and the lake was quiet

    Kevin was such a great host! His family’s place on the lake is a great place to relax and enjoy water activities. We rented their very nice pontoon boat to do some tubing and fishing. Everyone also enjoyed the kayaks as well as fishing off of the dock. The house had plenty of space to accommodate all 6 of us. Ludington and Pentwater are just a short drive away if you need to find a restaurant for dining out or do some shopping. Just be aware that the roads leading to the house are not paved but are in good shape. We drove two SUVs so it wasn’t an issue.

    This was our summer vacation with our adult children, spouses, and grandchildren. This was a wonderful lake home that was very well stocked with everything we needed for a fun vacation. The hosts were very welcoming and available if needed. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this property. Thank you ?

    We went to my Niece’s wedding at a beautiful venue in Ludington. We decided to make it a long weekend! What a Gem of a house! It’s so perfect for an entire family, something to do for every age! We built amazing family memories here, and we will be going back again for sure! Thank you to the Viening Family for opening up their beautiful home for us to enjoy! Love, The Presta’s, Bigelow’s and Ciotti’s ❤️
