We have stayed at this property 3 times now and it never disappoints. So much room for everyone and never ending activities to try - kayaks, paddle board, lawn games, board games, etc. and you canât forget the massage chair!
We had an excellent family vacation. House was located on the best part of the lake. So much space and great views of the lake from every room. Fun times swimming, boating, jet skiing, and creating family memories.
12 of us from 13 - 70+ stayed a week. Lovely lake, plenty of water toys including kayaks and floating. The main floor has 2 bedrooms which was perfect for us older folks and the upstairs was fabulous for all the teenagers. Plenty of space for all ages with games & toys. We hope to stay again.
Our stay was amazing. Great place for families with kids of all ages. Perfect location. Had all the amenities and toys and recreational stuff for the adults and kids of all ages. Only had to bring food and clothes. Canât wait for next year.
Four times we have stayed at the best home in the Canadian Lakes and are hopefully staying again in 2022. It has always been an awesome vacation for our family.
This spacious property with a wonderful outdoor area and amenities was well-equipped for our family of 10. Only one room is air conditioned, but we lucked out with the weather. This is a unique house with 3 floors of big spaces. Itâs a great place for everyone.
This quirky, delightful house has been dubbed "The Gingerbread House" by many that see it. It accommodated this Grandma and Grandpa and all our grandkids very comfortably. We were delighted to find a high chair and a pack n play for the little one and the older kids had a blast playing lakeside. The kitchen is outfitted very well and huge dining room table easily sat us all.
We stayed with our kids and grandkids for six days at the "Weasely House" (dubbed that by our daughter, who loves Harry Potter). This house is totally unique and magical! There was plenty of room for all 13 of us and the kids had a great time playing in the sand and in the water. Our 4 year old grandson was excited to fish from the dock and we adults enjoyed the firepit in the evening. The house and property exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend staying here!
Having grown up on neighboring Blue Lake, I was looking for a nearby property for my entire family of 8, including my adult kids and grandkids. I immediately recognized this unique lakefront home as one we had boated past many times as kids! We wanted a spot with easy lake access, and the sandy beach was perfect for the kids. The boathouse if full of toys, the house is stocked with everything needed for a family vacation, and we even invited all of the cousins and had a little birthday BBQ party for our 90-year-old Mom. It was a Michigan Summer Dream come true.
If you are looking for a beautiful spacious house away from it all with the lake to enjoy all around you your search is over! This place was the best rental we have ever had! We had 5 adults and 3 kids ages 7, 4, and almost 2. We all enjoyed everything this home offers. There were toys and books and lots of games. Puzzles. The all body massage chair was a hit. Beach area was well used by the kids. Location is very relaxing. Kitchen had everything! We used the kayaks and paddle boat paddle board were fun. Kids enjoyed catching blue gills off the dock. We definitely want to return! Brought our boat and spent time on the water tubing. It was fun to take the "channels" to get to Blue Lake and Round Lake! Absolutely great place to create family vacay memories for 2024!
Great property and great location. Lots of room for larger groups. One of the highlights of our year staying at the lake. Owners are readily available and accommodating. Returning again next year.
What a wonderful unique lake house! We had a great family vacation. Our 3 granddaughters loved the loft with the queen beds and the upstairs kitchen table to play games on. All the kids loved the water. Kayaking, paddle boating & paddle board! The launch pod was an added bonus! We enjoyed fishing and looking for toads(grandsons especially). There was so much to do the kids didnât really want to leave !
Laura was a great host and quick to respond to any questions.
Lots of great memories made in Michigan!

Clearly the unique property, plentiful amenities, and responsive owners all combine to make this lake house a worthwhile family vacation destination. The 16 existing VRBO reviews are filled with accolades that are deserved and there is no value in my repeating them other than to highlight a few things: felt secluded and private, great views, plenty of room, and kids loved having their own floor.
However, there are other easily addressed considerations that prevent me from granting the Peninsula Lake House a 5-star assessment: being without central a/c the comfort in the home depends on cross ventilation which is hampered by lack of screens on some lower level windows (kitchen, 1st floor front bedroom); large hole in one of the sliding door screens that permitted bugs to enter home in the evening; And, we were greeted with a yard peppered with goose droppings that presented challenges for adults as well as 5 young grandchildrenâŠ.it took considerable effort to sufficiently rid the yard of the âstuffâ.
We would welcome the opportunity to return but would avoid the potential hot weather of mid/late summer.
We had two families that enjoyed our stay here. The house was so fun and had more than enough room for 11 people. The pictures do not do this place justice. We traveled with 4 adults and 7 kids. The kids enjoyed the house, the yard games and if course the water! The beach was great. Easy to get in and out of the water and shallow enough for little ones. We were very thankful to have the opportunity to use the kayaks and paddle board, which allowed many of use to enjoy the lake even more.
The house! Wow! What a unique place. I swear we were still finding new things even on our last day. The space is used to the fullest and allowed everyone to spread out and not feel like we were on top of one another. Kids got to watch what they wanted in an upstairs TV, while the adults made use of the main level TV. We enjoyed having multiple bathrooms too, made showers quick and efficient. I think the loft was my favorite for the kids as they all had a space to themselves.
Laura was helpful too, answering questions quickly when we had them.
We do hope to come back in the future.
Sincerely,
The McKinneys
We could not have of asked for more from a rental property. One of our familyâs best vacations ever. Thank You to the owners for allowing us to share there home.
This vacation lake home was perfect for a wonderful vacation with our children and grandchildren. The lake provided hours of laughter and fun with paddle boats, kayaks, paddle board. The home had just the right space for quiet times, sleeping and togetherness. The kitchen was very well supplied. We loved evenings around the fire!! Thank-you for sharing your lovely lake home.
This was our second year of renting the house and it didnât disappoint. The property is awesome for a larger group both inside and out. Plenty of space inside to hang out at night and outside for lawn games and sitting in the sun. Looking forward to another stay next year.
Our family of two brothers and two sisters decided in early 2017 to start a Family Bucket List. 1st was Thanksgiving Lions Football game - done. Next, find a cottage to rent for a week where all our kids could come and enjoy. We chose here and there was no disappointments! Stunning inside and even better outside. We are keeping this on our bucket list for many years to come. Laura is prompt and so easy to work with. Lake is friendly and the property gave us all what we needed.
This property was purchased as a vacation rental for our family to enjoy as well as yours! The beautiful sunrise and sunsets will take your breath away. Vacations bring families together and we hope our home can bring you as much joy as it does us! Enjoy the 4,199 sq ft of open space inside, or spend your time outdoors on the 2.87 acre peninsula. The lake is great for fishing, water sports, and other fun activities. Included in your stay are also 4 kayaks, an outdoor fire pit, a paddlebaord, paddle boat, board games, some children toys, and other outdoor activities. Nearby is a local grocery store, pizzeria, ice cream shop, and restaurants all within 2 miles.
