    We had a wonderful time at Walloon Lake! We loved being right on the water with a small private beach. The kayak and canoe were a nice touch, unfortunately there is a thing called swimmers itch and we were warned by many locals not to get in the water. The house is pretty rustic and we were there during a heat wave so the no air conditioning was very uncomfortable, we opened all the windows and were thankful for the fans. The master bedroom desperately needs a mattress upgrade.

    We enjoyed our week at the lake cottage. There was plenty of space for 6 adults and two children. We had fun in the kayak and the canoe. The beach and swim area was great for the kids. The beds were comfortable. The twin beds were fine for kids.The host was great to work with. We appreciated their quick response to an Internet problem we had. They were more than generous with check in and check out times. We would definitely stay again.

    We stayed here for a long weekend for a wedding, 7 adults. The 3 double/king bedrooms worked out nicely for couples. The rooms were plenty spacious. The twin beds in the fourth room are uncomfortable and sit very low to the ground. Not a great option for adult sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, pots and pans, and everything we needed for the weekend. Plus, plenty of space for multiple people to be in the kitchen at one time and enough seats for eating. The position of the property on the water blocked the wind nicely compared to what we experienced just on the other side. All that said, the property is very rustic. All of the doors are loud, and some don’t close easily or at all. I couldn’t get enough signal to make a phone call but was able to work over the WIFI for one of the days with minimal issues. While we were there, the temperature decreased to 50/60F. With most of the windows closed, the main floor had a damp smell. I can’t imagine it would be much better during a humid summer day with no A/C. The living room couch, carpet, and towels were all well-worn.

    We had the good fortune of staying in both the main house, and the guest house. They are both absolutely fabulous, and the owners are genuine, responsive, and caring people. Wonderful experience!

    We had an excellent family vacation at this home! The property was wonderful, especially the beautiful waterfront, which my four-year-old twin daughters couldn't get enough of. The location also made it possible for us to explore other nearby downtown areas, such as Charlevoix, Boyne City, and Petoskey, and we took a day trip to Mackinac Island. Our only recommendation would be to consider adding shades to the bedroom windows for privacy due to the wraparound porch. Highly recommend staying here - thank you!
