Northern Michigan Lakeside Family Retreat - sleeps 12

This is truly a beautiful home in a terrific location. We had 10 adults and an infant, so 6 bedrooms were fantastic. The home is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully equipped. The lakefront is just gorgeous, the landscaping is really beautiful so it was lovely to just sit out. We were surprised to find a pickleball/tennis court a 4 minute walk from the property. It is close to Petoskey and Harbor Springs which was lovely. The hostess was easy to communicate with.We had a very hot two days where we missed AC but otherwise found the house to be quite cool even in August temperatures.

Great location. Comfortable accommodations.

This was a lovely property with a huge back yard to play in. The fire pit was really nice and so was the dock to the water. The kayaks were a plus and several of the people in our group enjoyed them. The house was nice and clean and the living room was great for our time family

Great place for 6 adults and 5 grandchildren. Big yard for kids to play. Beautiful landscaping.

The house was in a great location and the owner was extremely accommodating. We were a little disappointed there wasn’t a beach though we may have just assumed there would be an easier water entry point. Really a nice little affordable place for a family vacation.

Had a wonderful week's vacation Up North on Pickerel Lake at this very nice waterfront home. The home is large, very comfortable and well suited for a large group to enjoy all Northern Mi has to offer in the Summer. The exterior grounds and decking are expansive (and beautiful) so whether you want to grill out/have an outdoor meal, play yard games, lounge by the water, swim, kayak or do water sports - its all there to enjoy. The house is well appointed so you can literally just come with your clothes and not much else. The owner, Valerie, has done a great job in making sure everything you may need is available, has provided very good instructions on how to use the entertainment systems, where to find things, etc. and is very responsive to any questions that may arise. The lake is also a nice size and the homes are all on decent sized lots - so you are fairly secluded from others - not right on top of everyone else - so can do whatever floats your boat and not intrude on others. Its also very close to civilization - so grabbing groceries, going out to a restaurant, etc. is a quick hop away in the car. Although we did a fair bit of traveling around during the week - we did spend a couple of days just at the house - Lake Days as we call them - and had some of the best time we have ever had at any VRBO rental. Very sad when we finally had to leave after the week was up. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed.

Nice house with a lot of room for our family to spread out. Beautiful landscape and decks.

The place was spacious and clean. Valerie is wonderful to work with, and has thought of everything.

Had a really great time. The cottage was very clean. The lawn and landscaping were beautiful.

Everything was as described, great location and well stocked. Our host was very responsive and attentive.
