Well apportioned house with amazing views of the lake from almost every window. Plenty of room, very comfortable. Host was accessible and friendly. Highly recommend. Would come back.
Upkeep needs attention. The dishes , pots & pans needed to be washed before being used. The thermostat is not user friendly and theres no instructions. You probably want to write down the network name with the password. Theres air trapped in the pipes. When we turned on the water in the kitchen it would burst out of the faucet. We would hear gurgling sounds when flushing the toilet as well - trapped air Location was great to get to Wheatland. The porch and views were also wonderful
Always the best time spent at the lake. It has a true lake cottage feel. Bryan is always responsive. Already rented for next year. If you are looking for a family cottage on the lake to spend time with family this is it!
When you go, bring your own firewood and pillows! 3 of 4 bedrooms were good but 4th down in basement/ lower garage. No one in my group would sleep there. Lots of water toys but pontoon runs really rough, kayaks have no plugs so be prepared to empty multiple times as waves and water fill them up.
Stayed a few times, love the lake and property. Had an issue with this most recent stay and had to leave early, but the Host was quick to respond and was helpful.
VRBO has been awful to work with, we have been waiting for a refund for over a month. They agreed to issue the refund a month ago, just been waiting for them to actually do it. This may be my last time using VRBO, but this has nothing to do with the Host. This property is wonderful and will serve your family well, and I would consider renting this property again if VRBO got their stuff together.
This places was perfect. Had enough room for everyone. Really enjoyed walking out the door and being right at the lake. Cute property. Good amount of space to sit around a fire as well. Had everything we wanted
Girlfriendâs getaway. Brought the kids, left the husbands at home. House was everything we needed and more. Spent the days enjoying the kayaks, paddle boat, floating raft, and docks for fishing. The weekend flew by, but we were so happy to have found this place on the lake.
Family Reunion great place to stay. Perfect shade for hot summer days. Great raft for the kids. Plenty of chair to accommodate everyone. Older house but many rooms to sleep in with lots of bedding and towels.
We enjoyed our stay. The house had great AC and WiFi- which was important respectively to the old and teens of our group. The shallow part of the lake in front of the cabin was actually sandy - so important to me and my youngest and hard to find when renting on a lake.
The fishing wasn't great, but we were there the week of the fourth and boat traffic was constant, so I think the fish were hiding. But the lake has a no wake period in the morning and evenings which was really nice.
Everything we needed was there in the bathrooms, kitchen, life jackets, kayaks, lawn chairs, bedding and board games. But there was not wood on site for fires or beach towels- so bring those!
We had a very nice time, I hope this review helps those looking for a place to call home for a week. I recommend taking a full week! It'll be worth it!
The property was nice and quiet. The access to kayaks and paddle boat a fireplace and fire pit, with firewood provided was all important components to an enjoyable weekend.
The only thing I would have wanted to know ahead of time was that that the basement bed is only accessible via narrow & steep stairwell. Thankfully, there were alternative bed options.
We had a great time. The kids had fun playing, fishing, roasting marshmallowâs and playing with all the toys! Adults had fun on the kayaks and paddle boat. A great location! Thank you for sharing it with us!
This was our second time renting this house and there has not been one issue. Everything was as it should be and everyone had a blast! Already rented for next year!
We enjoyed the house and lake. The house seemed cleaner than last year and it was great that the cupboards were cleaned out so we could put stuff away. We missed the paddle board that was there last year. We really had fun on the paddle boat, floating dock and the kayaks.
Booked for a bachelor's party for 6 guys. Had plenty of room for hangout and relaxation. We were able to use kayaks and everything we needed during our stay was available. Good, clean house. Only letdown was the water heater was not working.
Would recommend to anyone else
Our Family is from Lansing and Grand Rapids, MI. We love Michigan. Summer time at the lake has given us our best memories. We are so excited to have our kids and Grandkids spend time with us to provide them with the special memories they will have.
We have also been renters for many years. In 2003 we rented on School Section Lake and it became one of our favorite lake's in Michigan. When we realized this year we could finally get our lakefront property this is the ONLY lake we looked at. We love it that much. In 2013, we purchased the neighboring cottage and have loved it ever since. In 2018 we purchased this property as well because we love the incredible view. We are directly across from the gorgeous colorful island and penninsula with nothing but mature trees. And beyond that you see the hundreds of acres of county land that is free of cabins and left as nature intended it to be. We also realized quickly this is a home. It is beautiful and fully equipped with everything you need. You only need to bring your clothes, food and drink and plan on having everything else already here. The lake is special. It is well maintained by the Association for weed control, the clearest water around and this incredible 'up north feel'. It has character with the island, peninsulas and amazing mature pines. There is a county park on the lake that has an amazing swimming area and walking trails. However this is still a semi-private lake. The lake only allows boats with motors less than 10hp. We as property owners can have as we please. And this courtesy is extended to you if you choose to bring a boat or Jet Ski.
We don't want your experience to stop at the end of the dock. We have kayak's, paddle boat and swim platform. You can also bring your own boat or rent a pontoon if desired.The semi-private lake keeps boat traffic down. The morning, late evening no-wake's and all sports during the day it the perfect balance of peaceful cruising, fishing and the fun of an all-sports lake when you just want to get out and enjoy the water and the sun.
