Lake Huron Getaway
Posted Aug. 14, 2024 on HomeAwayWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this comfortable house overlooking Lake Huron. Great communication with property owner. Stunning views with lots of different outdoor seating areas to enjoy. We enjoyed kayaking, rock hunting, and basically just relaxing at this lakeside escape!

Perfection
Posted Jul. 30, 2024 on HomeAwayWhat a wonderful week we had! The weather was great but the accommodations were top notch! Just a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The house was very clean and well appointed, everything you need is right there, we cooked quite a few nights and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pans, etc., The beach is beautiful, we have lovely sunrise and moon shots to remember our week! Mike was a wonderful host and we thank him for sharing his piece of Michigan! We would definitely love a return visit!

Best rental EVER! Perfect vacation house! 10/10!!
Posted Jul. 4, 2023 on HomeAwayMike and Marsha are AMAZING hosts! The house was spotless and has so many amenities! Private beach with tons of chairs, kayaks and fire pit. Wonderful deck overlooking the lake, room for the whole family for meals inside and out. Nice grill on the deck connected to the house. The kitchen is beautiful, has a huge island and is stocked with everything you need. Tons of extra pillows, blankets and sheets. Beds are very comfy! 4 beds in the bunkhouse with AC, such a great bonus space. The living room has huge windows with that amazing lake view, and a very large tv for the whole family to have a movie night. The house even has a surround sound system to play music inside and out. This house is truly a treasure, my family had the best week here and we couldn’t of asked for a better vacation. Our dog loved the beach and the space to run around also. We can’t wait to go back! :)

Even Better The Second Time Around
Posted Sep. 6, 2022 on HomeAwayWhen Michigan beaches are unpredictable year to year, this place is one you can count on. For the second year in a row we enjoyed sparkling water, sunny skies, sunrises, campfires, kayaks and family time. When you have to go inside for sustenance, the kitchen is an ample place to gather and is well- appointed to cook whatever delicious meal you have the desire for. There's a large table inside and outside for dining, board games or to take in the fabulous view. Mike does a great job of continuing to update and maintain his property and is very interested in what his guests are looking for in their perfect vacation. Book it and see for yourself!

Gorgeous Views
Posted Aug. 13, 2022 on HomeAwayWe loved every minute of our stay. The house is very nice, but the yard, beach and view are the stars! We kayaked, swam, and just enjoyed the outdoors. We met the owner, Mike, and he was so very gracious and accommodating. We even met several neighbors who were very welcoming. We had the lovely experience of watching the last supermoon of the year rise over Lake Huron. Spectacular! Definitely recommend staying at this lovely spot.

Private Lake Huron Getaway
Posted Aug. 6, 2022 on HomeAwayOur family of four adults and two dogs had a very relaxing vacation at this home. The location is on a private beach right on Lake Huron. Recent updates to the deck give you wonderful views of the lake and several types of chairs in which to relax. Bonfires on the beach were a great way to end our evenings.

Best Beach on Huron
Posted Jul. 11, 2022 on HomeAwayThis was our second time renting here. Many upgrades in the last year, primarily new deck and stairs. Beach is in perfect condition. Best one we saw nearby during multiple Kayak trips north and south. Kids had a blast in the sand. Bring water shoes for rocks, which is typical for this side of Lake Huron.
The smallest room had a TERRIBLE smell that never went away, coming from the closet. It's clear the renters are aware of the issue, as they had two odor neutralizer tubs in the room, one in the closet, and an opened bar of Irish Spring in the closet. Since they knew about it, and didn't fix it, I wasn't going to spend a bunch of time complaining. I don't know if it was sewer leak or a dead animal, but it was repulsive and strong and constant. I was able to stop the odor from coming into the living area by using winter sheets over the closet door, and jamming excess through the peripheral cracks with a screwdriver. After spending an hour doing my best to stop/seal it, so that it was SAFE FOR MY CHILDREN to breathe, I was able to forget it for the rest of our stay, until I removed my fix to leave. The smell was still terrible when re-opened.
Dishonesty and covering up major sanitation issues limits you to two stars in my world. We won't be coming back. Once Mike gets the smell fixed, it's a great place, beautiful, really. Great neighbors, great property.

Eric, thanks for your review & the heads up regarding the odor coming from the bedroom closet. As soon as I read your review I called Thumb Cooling & Heating. They were the company that just installed our new fireplace. They came out within the hour to check for any leaks in the system. They did find a leak and repaired it on the spot. Eric, the rational behind me leaving all my guests with my cell phone # is so they can call me immediatley if there is a problem or something they would like taken care of. I never heard from you so I assumed all was well. There was no cover up at all. We would never do such a thing. I put Irish Spring Soap in all of the closets because I like the smell. We strive to make all our clients 100% satisfied. Our goal is to WOW everyone that walks into our home. Please take a look at all previous reviews....they average 4.9 out of 5.
Best Regard,
Mike

Family Vacation!
Posted Jul. 5, 2022 on HomeAwayOur host was wonderful! We spent the majority of our time on the beach. The water was clear, and the kayaks were a great addition. We loved to hang out on the deck. The view was amazing. The highlite of the house was the huge kitchen. We had a great family vacation.
