Wonderful Location
We very much enjoyed our stay at this lake home. The host was so generous to allow us to check in early and was very friendly with every communication. We loved waking up to the view with all of the loons and geese and other wildlife. It was a little chilly to make use of the beautiful patio but it was so pretty. The open concept living room/kitchen was just what this group of late forties ladies wanted so we could be in the kitchen but still together. Grateful for a wonderful stay!

Great Vacation
We had a great stay at this property! The location was perfect! The best feature of this property was the outdoor area and ability to rent the pontoon that is right on the dock. Only downfall was there wasn't a ton of shade for the two babies we had with us, as the canopy on the pontoon wasn't useable (I did forget to mention this to property manager upon checkout). I'm sure he would have assisted if we requested, as he was great to work with. We will definitely be back for future vacations!
We enjoyed the close proximity to the NASCAR Race Way. The view at the house was amazing.

Work Girls Trip
Walked in to a really nice 1st floor updated - living, dining, kitchen and full bathroom. Plenty of windows that brought in a lot of natural light and a door that lead to a beautiful porch with chairs to sit and take in the great lake, steps down to a nice dock where they do have a pontoon you can rent,( although we did not ) and looked like good fishing. Upstairs is plenty of beds and space for guests. Best parts was 1)the big, nice dining table with comfortable chairs to eat, socialize and play games at 2) really nice shower on 1st floor 3) rocking chairs on back porch and 4) ease of getting to the house. One update I’d suggest is even a small half bath upstairs, and railings on all stair ways, but certainly didn’t stop us from having a grand long weekend. Communication with the owner was spectacular, quick, accommodating and perfect. Thanks for the great weekend!!

Rented for my son’s wedding and live right down the street!
We took wedding pictures there for my son’s wedding. Spent the day before and wedding and after to enjoy the beautiful lake and beach setting. The kids played in the sand and caught some great fish! Had a family cook out and also enjoyed the neighbors company! I highly recommend this house! We will be back!

Wonderful house with a boat, on sand Lake!
We had a great time! We rent a lake house once or twice a year. We have never had the house have an available boat before. This made the process of getting a boat so easy!!!!
The house is nice and clean. It has all the amenities. A nice new washer and drier which we used. The BBQ worked perfectly and was very clean.
Plenty of beds for a family of 5. 1.5 baths is a little tight for five but we really didn’t have any issues.
Thank you Barry for making our stay easy and fun.
Wish we could have stayed longer.
Cheers!

Great Summer Vacation
Great place! Close to metro Detroit area. Beach property with nice dock. We rented the pontoon boat as well. It was awesome. Nice lake, good fishing and had a blast tubing. Barry and team were a great host. Nice bathrooms, new washer and dryer, plenty of space to sleep, air conditioned as well. Very nice neighborhood and really nice neighbors. Perfect Fourth of July vacation. Would stay here again.
Located in a nice community on a cute lake. Spacious open living kitchen area. Nice views from living and patio area. Nice Sandy Shores.
It generally was clean but could use a deeper cleaning in a few areas. The BBQ was nasty coffee pot wasnt clean, and there was dust bunnies behind bathroom door, and shower mats were dirty. But otherwise was clean.
The bedding, mattress and unlevel beds were about a 2/10, and the furniture was worn out and cheap. The sofas are nice and new.
I would not consider the 2nd half bathroom in raw Basement (with curtain walls) to be a likely usable option. It would also be good to note the main bathroom is on Main floor and bedrooms are all upstairs.
It would be a good place for a family to enjoy the lake and overall I would 5/10 rating.
