Clean and comfortable property with lots of amenities and very helpful host. The lake is quiet and nice for swimming or boating. Lots of day trips that are easy to do from this location. We fully enjoyed our stay and would recommend!
Beautiful location. The kids loved swimming, taking the kayaks out and exploring the lake shores for wildlife. Made a great day trip to Mackinac Island and a visit to Tahkuamena Falls. Chris was a great host.
The property was spotless and exactly as described. The house is gorgeous inside' you can tell a lot of work went into it.Great time had by all- thanks Chris!
The Round lake retreat had everything you need for an awesome family getaway. Sandy shallow lake entry, perfect for swimming. Close to many of the Upper Peninsula attractions.
Chris, the owner of this house goes above and beyond to make sure everything goes perfectly. The house is very well kept, great location, and he makes sure you have everything you need to have a good stay. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean house to stay in with an owner who takes pride in his stuff. Thank you again Chris, we will be back
We had a great time here! Beds were comfortable and the place was very clean. Chris was excellent with communication and super helpful. Definitely recommend staying here.
This was a wonderful vacation spot. Clean and tidy home with all the amenities we needed. The lake is beautiful as well as the surrounding countryside. The owner communicated well with us. The home is centrally located to many of the attractions the U.P. has to offer.
Couldn't have asked for better weather while staying at this place. We we're spoiled this weekend. The cottage is super clean and the host Chris is very nice. We will be coming back
What an awesome place to stay! The house has a large commons area with plenty of sleeping space. We loved the seclusion and quietness while enjoying camp fires in the evening. Chris is an excellent host and was very responsive and available.
My family and I had a wonderful experience at the Round lake retreat! The house was big enough for the 10 of us and clean. Chris the owner was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
Mt family and I love round lake and we're so excited to find a place on it. We had a blast and the property is top notch. You won't find a better lake house then the round lake retreat!! Can't wait to go back!
Beautiful cabin on a beautiful lake! Spacious and well-equipped kitchen (best weâve ever had in a VRBO rental) with a large island/table that seats a lot of people. Chris was quick to respond to questions and made the whole checking-in and -out process easy. Weâll definitely stay there again.
This place is in a great spot. The property owner is amazing. The house was clean and had exactly what we wanted. We recommend it to anyone who wants to getaway and relax by the lake.
A week isnât long enough, book for two or more. You wonât regret it!
Great property, location, amenities! Excellent communication with owner. Top notch, above and beyond, over the top support during our whole vacation!
Highest recommendation to anyone looking for peace and tranquility and planning our return annually.
As a Michigan native, I have grown up around family cottages, lakes and snowmobiling. I am local to the property, and I'm available to support you during the duration of your stay.
The Manistique lakes system is very unique and is predominantly a "Mom and Pop" community that thrives on summer and winter tourism. This lake is very peaceful place to end the day. Most of the major eastern UP attractions are a quick drive (30 mins to under 1 hour) to make day trips. The 12 foot vaulted ceiling in the Great Room provides a perfect way to unwind and relax.
The Manistique lakes system offers excellent seasonal opportunities for anglers. (Several DNR launch areas on all three lakes) Make sure to watch out for the Eagles doing some fishing of their own, and enjoy the sound of the Loons in the summertime. The large kitchen island will be the gathering place for late night card/ board games just in case the weather doesn't want to cooperate.
The sun will be over the lake all day long, and the view from the Great Room is spectacular! Over 950 sq feet of open space faces the lake. The master bathroom is the only space that does not open up to a lake view. The moon rise in the summer is spectacular! Round Lake is very unique, as it is a spring fed lake. The water is crystal clear and shimmers in the summer sun. The well on the property sits on one of the springs feeding the lake. Uncommon to most lake cottages: the well water is free of iron and only passes through the refrigerator filter to drink. You will not need to tote cases of water with you to the UP!
