"A little heaven here on earth! Thank you for such a beautiful place!"
"Thank you so much! We loved it here!!
A few extra things to know:
1. We are so sorry, but due to previous experiences, we are unable to accommodate smoking anywhere on the property. If you would like to smoke, please consider another location.
2. We are often asked about the additional. $20 charge for each person over 3. This is simply the additional cleaning charge we pay and VRBO does not have a way for us to include that in the cleaning fee.
Beautiful property, peaceful, great location.
Had the BEST time at Deb's property last week. I am from NY but recently moved to MI and wanted to show my family other parts of Michigan than where I live in GR. Deb's house had something for everyone- kayaks, boats, fishing, board games etc. We loved the fire pit and grill and spent so much time sitting outdoors enjoying each other's company. Deb also really thought of everything! SO appreciate the welcome book with information about places to eat, things to see in the area, what to do when the TV wont turn on etc-she really kept every detail in mind and we were all so impressed. My family already wants to come back next year. Thanks for an awesome time!!!
We really enjoyed our stay at Loon Lodge. Deb has thought of everything (even big forks for roasting marshmallows ?) and was a pleasure to work with. The boats and kayaks were perfect for gliding across the beautiful lake. Our boys loved having the loft to themselves. It was a true getaway. Wish we could have stayed longer.
We rented this house for a family vacation and with six adults and two kids we had plenty enough space. There is so much to do at the house and Deb has it stocked with everything you could ever need. The lake was so peaceful and we caught lots of fish and it was a quick drive to other towns. We definitely recommend this for anyone and would come back in a heartbeat !
A great cottage for a family vacation. Great scenery and close to everything. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a great place to rent.
I can not say enough good things about this place. Deb, the owner, is great!! She is super easy to work with and very attentive to every need. The house has everything you could possibly need or want and the views are stunning! The provided peddleboat, canoes and kayaks were a huge hit with my family. We played games in the lower level when we weren't out enjoying the lake. The Hideaway Bar and Grill is just down the street and is a must! Thier chicken wings are amazing! Overall I would highly recommend staying here. You won't be disappointed!!
Peaceful, enjoyable, relaxing. The owner was friendly and quick to reply to all our inquiries. We will come back!
Our second trip here was again amazing! So comfortable! Gorgeous view! Love using the paddle boat and kayaks! The the swim raft was a great addition this year! Deb has everything you need! Love the privacy, the beauty, and the peacefulness of this place!!
We had a great time! Deb thought of everything!
What I will miss most about Loon Lodge is the deck. Just loved sitting there every morning to start the day - so peaceful and relaxing. The setting in the woods is just beautiful. The grandkids had fun swimming off the raft and fishing from there or the dock. The lodge was great for our grandchildren as they had their own space on the lower level and plenty of room to run around outside. There are plenty of kid friendly movies to watch with the whole family in the evening. The cottage itself was very clean upon arrival and well stocked. Any questions we had were answered or attended to very quickly by Deb. She really wants you to have a wonderful stay! We used the available canoe, peddle boat and kayaks frequently. The peddle boat was our “taxi” for the kids out to the raft. The deck attached to the dock was ample enough for the whole family with comfortable chairs. We found many mini Petosky stones around it and were visited by many frogs. The master bedroom has a temperpedic mattress and it’s own separate sink which worked out great. It was a little tight with sleeping arrangements for our children’s families (3 adults and 4 children). We brought up two inflatable mattresses and used both. The upstairs loft has a low ceiling and works best for children. The downstairs bath is newly renovated and spacious. The kitchen was big enough for all of us to move around and work in with the dining table and sitting area all attached. The cottage was very well appointed and cozy. The fire pit outside was great and was supplied with wood and enough chairs for making s’mores. All in all we had a wonderful stay and will miss “Loon Lodge”.
