This house was even better in person! Plenty of sleeping spaces, the kitchen has everything you'd need to cook a meal, lots of DVDs to choose from, and everything was clean. The hosts are helpful and kind. We had a great time using the kayaks and boat on the beautiful lake! We have no complaints and would highly recommend this rental.

We absolutely loved our stay! The property was beautiful, peaceful, and had so much to offer. One of our favorite parts was being able to kayak right from the property and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.We also loved the goats! Being able to feed and pet them was such a fun and unexpected part of the stay, and definitely something we’ll remember. It really made the experience feel special and different from a typical rental.The property was comfortable, relaxing, and perfect for getting away and enjoying some quality time together. The host was wonderful and easy to communicate with.We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Arriving to the Vrbo was very easy, Craig was very quick to answer questions and restocking wood, toilet paper, and anything else we needed. House was very clean and smelled like nature. Beds were very soft and plenty of blankets for the cold. Internet was nice to have but a little spotty. Water was hard maybe needing more salt in water softener but overall no big issues! Big shout out to Craig for being an amazing host. Was not aware that lake was only 5 feet deep and it was also very smelly, still had a great time on kayaks and the John boat and got some fishing in! Defiantly would stay again!

We took our 4 sons. The space was great! There’s a lake to fish within a 5 minute walk. The views are great for deer, goats and cranes! Plenty of room for kids to run! Great outdoor deck for relaxing and watching nature. The firepit is awesome! Would totally recommend! The owners live near by and were really helpful. Would stay here again when exploring the UP!
