Lakefront Vacation Home

Property was perfect for a relaxing golf weekend with some friends. The house had everything we could want to make us feel at home and the location was ideal not only to enjoy some spectacular golf courses in northern Michigan, but also just to enjoy the lake and nature. Would absolutely recommend for a family or just to get away and relax!

From the moment we booked, this VRBO experience was nothing short of outstanding. The host was incredibly communicative, warm, and helpful throughout the entire process—from the initial arrangements to both check-in and check-out. Every interaction felt thoughtful and professional, making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.The home itself radiates luxury. Every detail, from the upscale furnishings to the elegant decor, was curated to create a serene and indulgent atmosphere. It felt like stepping into a high-end retreat, and we were constantly impressed by the quality and comfort throughout.As an avid cook, I was absolutely thrilled with the spacious, beautifully designed kitchen. It was fully equipped with top-tier appliances and everything I needed to prepare meals with ease and joy. Cooking here was a true pleasure, and the open layout made it a perfect space to gather and entertain.This property exceeded every expectation. The sunsets were breathtaking and the fishing superb. Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape or a luxurious home base for your adventures, this VRBO is a gem. I can't recommend it highly enough and will absolutely be returning!

WOW, what an amazing stay at this beautiful lake house!! We had 6 adults and 2 teenagers and the house accommodated all of our needs perfectly. The lake is the perfect size for all water sports, but also safe for kids to play on the water while you watch from the deck, yard, or dock. The house has all of the amenities you need from a fully stocked kitchen with plates, pots & pans, silverware, cups, coffee maker, and spices to a grill and griddle on the deck. The owners did a great job communicating before, during, and after our stay and were extremely nice to ensure we had everything we needed for a great stay. We elected to rent their pontoon and wave runners and had an outstanding time on the lake throughout our stay. You can’t beat being on a Northern Michigan lake in the Summer and this house is by far one of our favorites we’ve ever stayed at.

The lake house was perfect for our family getaway. The four bedrooms gave everyone their own space for quiet, and the living areas (inside and out) had a variety of spaces to gather. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and lots of prep space. The lake itself is beautiful, and being towards one end seemed to make for less boat traffic. Only downside was the kayak and paddleboard were both pretty unsteady, but we made do.

We had a great time at the house and in the water. Philip was very accessible, and the house and property were just as described. The new pizza/bakery down the road is great, we went there every morning and had pizza one night. I had not been to Kalkaska before and picked this house because of size and amenities - did not disappoint. We took advantage of the wave runner rentals and had a blast. Would definitely recommend this place to others!

Wonderful house, very helpful owner. Loved it. This may be the first house my family and I stay at more than once!

We absolutely loved our stay on Manistee Lake. Philip was wonderful at communicating the entire time, made excellent recommendations and provided the perfect home for our extended family.

We had a very pleasant stay over a week in July. Plenty of space, very comfortable beds, and a perfectly stocked kitchen. It’s about 20 minutes to the grocery store so stock up or be ready for daily trips. Traverse City is an easy 45 minute drive and Bellaire is close by too. We made great use of the paddle board, kayak, and canoe, but decided the cost to rent to motorized crafts exceeded the benefit due to the small size of the lake.

We had a great time and Philip was a very accommodating host. The property was one of the cleanest we have seen and we appreciated all the amenities. The lake was nice too :)

This property is absolutely amazing! The sunset views are just beautiful, the house was immaculate and it was stocked to the nines. We had also rented the pontoon for the week, which was worth the extra spend. It made for such a wonderful family vacation!! Many thanks to Phil and Stephanie!
