Lovely property; disappointed with the details
The lake is beautiful and the house is lovely. However, we were a bit disappointed with the day to day details of living at this property. The advertised main floor laundry was unavailable ("waiting for parts" owner said) so we were "allowed" to use the basement washer/dryer. That was quite inconvenient for daily laundry for a large group. It turned cold during our stay and when we asked how to get the advertised gas fireplaces to work the reply was "it would not lite the last time we tried it. I have put three different controllers in there. Might be time to get a different fire place". Obviously the owner knew in advance we would not be able to use the laundry or the fireplaces... but charged us full price for the stay. In addition, the upstairs bathtub/shower was plugged and is in need of maintenance. We moved a floor lamp in the living room so it could be plugged into a socket that worked. Again, the house itself has a wonderful layout and it was perfect for our multi-family situation. The lakefront is right out the back door and we were fortunate to have several days with beautiful weather where we could sit outside and enjoy the lake and the view. That aspect was 5 star! Rockford is a nice little town and we could find everything we needed at the Meijer's store there. I highly recommend it. Overall, the stay was very pleasant. It's too bad we encountered a few too many disappointments with the practicals; I feel a bit resentful of paying the price we did.

Vacation home
It was a great location, Great Lake, lots to do in the water, Many kitchen utensils, etc. It was a large home that could hold 2 families comfortably. It was a little warm in the upstairs bedrooms, but discussed with Julie and she said she will look into ways to make it cooler on the 2nd floor.

A NEW FAMILY FAVORITE!
My family and I have been renting different lake properties for our summer getaway for the past 5 years and so far this was our absolute favorite! All children in the family are under the age of 5 so a walk-in with a sandy beach was huge for us. The beach area was well maintained and was even beautifully raked upon our arrival. Also, the lake was shallow enough and very clean all the way out to the end of the dock. We had such a blast playing in the water with the kids, and it was even shallow enough where we could even just relax and watch from the shore. The house and property itself was also immaculate. We truly felt at home here and we wish we could have stayed longer! Julie was absolutely fantastic! The communication was great, she was always available and helpful with anything we might have needed. We actually left a pair of glasses and she even shipped them back for us. Truly such a sweet and wonderful woman. We would absolutely rent here again! If you are between a few properties, choose this one, you won’t regret it!

Perfect vacation
Julie's home is beautiful and has everything you could ever want in a vacation home. The kids were in the water most of the day, the shallow depth was perfect for them. As for the adults, we had so many places to relax - the deck, the beach, the fire pit, and the floating lounge chairs. Other than getting our groceries, we rarely left the property, we had such a great time. I highly recommend Julie's home!

4 generations (88 years-2 months) gathered and completely enjoyed our week in this lovely home. We only left to go to the grocery store. Adults and children loved the indoor and outdoor spaces. Tubing, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, playing at the beach, roasting marshmallows, daily walks around the lake, evening pontoon cruises and nightly Scrabble games around the dining table made for very special memories. We did not turn on a TV even once!

Perfect Lakefront Getaway for an Unforgettable Family Vacation
We had the pleasure of staying at this lake house for a week and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The cleanliness of the house was impeccable, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Kids loved the fresh plate of cookies when we arrived. The spacious and cozy interior with its beautiful decor provided ample room for our family to relax and unwind. The large windows offered breathtaking lake views from almost every room, adding to the charm. The fully equipped kitchen and with spices, coffee and condiments made meal preparation a breeze. Our highlight of our stay was the lake itself. The private dock provided easy access, and we spent hours swimming, kayaking, boat rides around the lake, fishing, and enjoying the water. The provided water toys and games added to the fun. The owners' exceptional hospitality and prompt communication made the entire experience seamless. They truly cared about ensuring we had a memorable stay. They had everything we needed, including a crib, highchair and baby gate for our little one. In conclusion, our family had an amazing time at this lake house. The cleanliness, picturesque surroundings, and wonderful amenities exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this rental for a peaceful and rejuvenating retreat where you can create unforgettable memories with your loved ones. We're already dreaming of our next visit. Thanks again for everything!!

Our Favorite Vacation Home!
Our family of 6 stayed here and absolutely loved it! Our kids 7, 7, 5 and 2 had a blast in the beach area playing with the toys that were at the house (definitely don't need to bring any from home). The water was shallow enough for our kids to walk to the end of the dock which made it perfect for them to play safely. We were also able to catch plenty of large mouth bass right from the dock as well! The house itself was beautiful. All of us agreed that it was the nicest home we've ever rented out and there was never a moment (even on a rainy day that kept us inside the whole time) that any of the kids said they were bored or wanted to go home - which was a first :)

Highly recommend!!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful lakehouse! The place, inside and out, was immaculate. The main family room has a fabulous stone fireplace and a great view of the lake. The modern kitchen has everything you need, with plenty of counter space and cabinets. The master bedroom, with a nice king bed, also has a good view of the lake and a private balcony. We did not use the lower floor, but it is perfect for a couple who might want privacy. We spent most of our time outside. Many places to relax: a shady porch and dining table, a grouping of Adirondack chairs around a gas fire pit, and a small sandy beach area with lounge chairs. Paddleboards and kayaks were a bonus too. And there is a really nice boat at their dock that we rented for 3 days. Well worth it! The lake is clean and easy to negotiate and the Bostwick Inn, which you can boat to, walk to, or drive to, has good food and atmosphere. I can't say enough good things about this lake house. Julie, the owner, has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable.
