This property is by far the best Vrbo my family have rented so far! Not only is the house beautiful but it’s got plenty of room and is divided up nicely. There is plenty to do in the area and I highly recommend renting the boat for a week. You can go by boat to Antlers Steakhouse, Ice Cream shop and Pizza place. There are multiple beaches that you have access to also. Perfect place to bring the kids and dogs with plenty of activities, games, and fun! Highly recommend renting. There is also a fitness center you’ll have access to with a pool, waterslide and hot tub. The kids had a blast there too. Book it now!

The home was a perfect size for our family. We were celebrating our mom/grandmas 80th birthday- with a wide age range and interests. We enjoyed the nearby coffee shop and grocery store. The home is beautiful and it was very clean. The younger kids and young adults enjoyed the kayaks and fishing from the dock- there were plenty of games onsite as well. Some in our group went to the local outdoor pool and said it was great! Some enjoyed 2 days of golf nearby and others made a day trip to a lavender farm in Boyne City. For us, it was a great location. Communication with the owner was also very good, with quick responses to questions. We very much enjoyed our stay- thank you for sharing your home with us!

We had a wonderful time! Hosts were very welcoming. Home was very clean and well-equipped. Lovely setting for family games. Main TV (56") was replaced with a much smaller TV. Association hours and rules were very restrictive; indoor pool closed and hours of other facilities not conducive for our use. Family loved the kayaks.

Very nice accommodations - exactly what was described. Plenty of toys for our kids (5-18) and a great yard for outside games. Cheryl was kind enough to order a corn hole game for our group and we gave it a good workout. Beds are quite comfortable, kitchen well-appointed (could use a large stockpot), and given the horrible heat our week, the AC was terrific. We hardly strayed from the house!
