Everything was just as described. There was plenty of room for our party of 7 adults. Access to the lake was fantastic and we enjoyed using the water equipment. The hot tub and massage chair were a bonus for the relaxing time away!

Perfect for a family getaway. Nice that the host had a bonfire pit, kayaks, standup, paddleboard, fishing rods, all there for us to use if we wanted to. Clean and comfortable. Quick to respond to any questions we had. Even had an extra room with a single/twin bed, so we didn’t even have to use the inflatable mattress we had for one of the kids.Lake was quiet, and very clean, great for swimmingClose enough too, to make a day trip to sleeping Bear dunes/1 hour driving time. Or Mackinac Island – 2 hours driving time.
