Summary: The home is just as cute in person as it is in the listing. Everything has been thoughtfully decorated and it's just an adorable up north oasis. I'm always a fan of nice linens and the quality towels and sheets were greatly appreciated. Everything in the home was very clean. The garage has all the goodies you could want for a fun family day, and the extra thoughtfulness to provide the water cooler was fantastic. The view is beautiful from the home and the drive in was so fun in the fall colors. Lynds was the perfect host and we're so thankful we picked this place. Thank you for everything!

Summary: We visited Lake Effect with two other couples. There was plenty of room for all 6 adults. Lindsay was great and quick to respond to all of my questions before our arrival. The kitchen was well stocked including a water cooler-a nice bonus! We relaxed on the quiet and secluded beach. We would recommend Lake Effect and stay again.

Summary: We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The house was beautifully decorated and provided a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The location was great with shops, wineries, and great restaurants nearby. We celebrated my husband’s birthday at The Bennethums, which was delicious. After a full day of golfing and enjoying the beach, we stopped for ice cream that everyone loved. Otsego Beach was a highlight, offering a fantastic day out with the family. Evenings were spent playing corn hole, cards, and making s’mores around the fire. It was a great long weekend for everyone, and we highly recommend this property!

Summary: Our family (3 generations) had a great vacation! The house was well stocked, clean, and comfortable. We all enjoyed the kayaks, fishing, the row boat, air hockey, and campfires right at the house. The location was great: peaceful, quiet, and beautiful, but only 15 minutes into town or to Otsego State Park and a beautiful swimming beach. We also enjoyed Putt Putt, ice cream, and shopping in Gaylord. Overall a wonderful vacation! Thanks!
