Whitmore Lake, Michigan
A very special, cozy & accomodating family vacation rental and inviting lakefront property with views of Nature on the Lake from every window. Located 10 minutes from downtown Ann Arbor, its enchanted PRIVATE all-sports lake is filled with wildlife and the best fishing in the county, say local fishermen. Its beautiful vistas include all sides of the Lake. Ideal for family reunions/vacations or intimate R&R for guests. A northern Michigan-like setting. 4 kayaks, a canoe and paddle boat are included with the rental, and pontoon boat available separately. Easy access to expressway, Ann Arbor, Brighton, local grocers & eateries.
The house is fantastic, with an almost 360° view of the lake. We stayed for three days with a group of academics for a writing retreat, and the location is ideal for balancing both academic and recreational activities. Highly recommended!
Brian was an excellent host. He met us at the house when we arrived and showed us around. We were in town for family weekend in Ann Arbor and hit up the football game. The drive back and forth was about 15min. Property was beautiful, would love to come when the weather is warmer to enjoy the lake. House was clean and offered plenty of room for 10 guests.
We have a great stay! Brian was a wonderful host. The lake is beautiful!
Good location for UofM football game weekend for group to enjoy lake activities & bbq
Brian was a terrific host. He took time to show us all around and was so welcoming. The house and activities fit our family perfectly - we brought our boat for tubing, and the kayaks and paddle boat provided were a big hit. Our family had a lovely weekend at the lake - highly recommend!
We had a lot of fun here. Brian was very friendly and accommodating. The only thing that could be improved is making policies and expectations clear - Brian couldn't meet us for check-in (fair), instead sent many rules and paragraphs over email, but it would be easier for everyone if the check-out procedures, house rules, etc. were posted in the house or on the property listing.
The house was very nice, and quite interesting. The property was right on the lake and was quite beautiful. It is quite close to the neighbors, so not the spot if you want to get rowdy. The host, Brian, was very accommodating and pleasant to deal with.
Brian was a very welcoming host who made sure we had a great weekend. The house had easy access to the water and had plenty of room to accommodate many guests. The host Brian gave us a tour at check in and offered many of his belongings to use for activities such as fire wood, ping pong table, and kayaks. It rained on one of the days we were there but there was plenty to do to keep everyone entertained. Everyone in the group had a great time on our trip. I would recommend this rental! I can see it being a great vacation house for multiple families to rent with all the activies, the space, and the water being so close.
The older house is charming and unique, having a few delightful surprises. Bed situation was just right for our family of 10. The yard is spacious. Pontoon boat is a must do, and paddle boat and kayaks are perfect for this small lake. Really couldn't ask for anything better.
Brian takes a lot of effort in ensuring his guests' comfort! The place has everything you need to live the lake life - clean, plenty of extra supplies, space and only a half hour drive from Ann Arbor. Will be coming back!
The house sits right on the lake. The scenery is beautiful. We were lucky enough to be there in the fall! Brian gave us a tour of the house and a few pointers on how to keep things running right. We spent our mornings on the deck and our evenings around the ping pong table. We had a great time!
I stayed here with a group of 9 guys for my friend's bachelor party weekend, and we had a great time! Plenty of beds for everyone, tons of space, and a beautiful view of the lake. Brian was great about communication and set clear rules and expectations up front that our group had no issues with. He met us for check in to walk us through the house, showed us how the speakers in the rec room worked, and even gave us some recommendations for local restaurants. Would absolutely recommend Brian's lake house to others.
The home is clean & spacious with lots of sleeping options. We rented the boat for the weekend, which was a perfect addition and allowed us to really enjoy the lake. We used the kayaks and just wish we had brought our fishing poles. Brian is a gracious host & was very accommodating. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Parking is limited. Overall, a fantastic stay!
Everyone enjoyed their stay
Wonderful place and perfect location!
Although the house was a bit older, and outdated. It was very large and had plenty of pace to hang out and sleep. Full kitchen downstairs and kitchenette upstairs, the house had two fridges. And a nice garage with ping-pong .. Nice large deck with plenty of seating as well as a fire pit. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out on the lake, bonefire and dinner/ late night dancing downtown AnnArbor located 15 min away, Uber and Lyft transportation readily available and reasonably priced.
My family (6 adults) and I spent graduation weekend at the property. Pride of ownership is obvious as the place was spotless. Home is located lake front with decking and large windows throughout the home allowing views of the lake from several parts of the home. Bedrooms are good sized, beds were comfortable. Large living rooms are located on the main floor (facing the lake) and on the second floor. A mini kitchen is also located on the second floor. Main kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, table ware, etc. Ping pong table and sound system located in garage made for some family fun. Brian, our host, went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and that our questions were answered. Polly's grocery, multiple eateries, bowling alley located within a 5 mile radius. We would rent again without hesitation.
