Great outdoor space. We also used the grill. It’s nice and worked well. Would recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

Summary: We had a wonderful and comfortable stay! All bedrooms had comfortable queen beds and all the bathrooms had everything we needed including plenty of fluffy towels, soaps and thoughtful extras. The coffee corner in the kitchen was well stocked and much appreciated! We especially enjoyed using the kayaks on the lovely lake and taking in the beautiful lake view from the deck. Our whole family loved it!

Summary: Our family was coming to the area for a Formula SAE racing event at MIS. We knew we would have some downtime so we wanted to stay somewhere that could entertain our teenagers. This home on the lake was beyond our expectations. Kayaks, swimming, fishing, campfire, speakers everywhere for music and a great yard for soccer, spikeball and tossing the football. A well stocked kitchen and the grill made dinner simple. Beautiful linens and the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on. Thank you for the attention to detail, it didn’t go unnoticed!We hope to come back soon!

Summary: We had a fabulous stay at Melinda’s lake house. We came in for our niece’s graduation from University of Michigan and opted to stay an hour away on the lake. Such a perfect choice! The accommodations were wonderful and Melinda is the perfect host. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Summary: Loved this property. From the moment we walked into the door this place was so clean and well decorated. The view of the lake was beautiful. I rented this place for a weekend to go to the MIS Christmas lights and we totally enjoyed ourselves. We had a total of six in our party, four adults and two children. There was enough room for everyone to enjoy ourselves. This house is laid out so nice. I would definitely rent this home again. Thank you for renting your home to us.
