This house is huge! All the rooms were clean, spacious and several outlets for multiple devices. The outside is beautifully landscaped. The neighbors were extremely friendly. We enjoyed playing cornhole, swimming at the beach and especially fishing.
This was our 2nd year staying at Brenda's Beach House and we had a wonderful time! Great place for extended family to get together and enjoy some quality time.
It was a great relaxing week with family! This house has plenty of room and was stocked with everything we needed, including a high chair. The beach area is great for little ones. I highly recommend this property!
Our family had such a great time. We brought our boat and seadoos and played on the water, fished, had some great bonfires and played bags. Brett was super helpful with all of my questions. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need and we had a fantastic time. We will definitely be back!!
The home was nicer than we anticipated. The front room space is larger than the pictures show. And wonderfully large kitchen. We had a fire every night. The beach is good for wading and little people, weeds start at the end of the dock. One can enjoy the lake best with a boat - we tubed, swam and fished our way around it. Bait shop, Grocery stores and coffee shops close by.
Our family enjoyed the stay very much! Thank you.
Your cottage is a great place for family. Nice sandy beach for the little ones on a beautiful lake that wasnât overly busy. We had fun fishing, boating, taking the girls tubing, kayaking, making s'mores by the fire and enjoying a couple of beautiful sunsets. Nice to relax and be together in such a comfortable cottage.
An amazing home that was perfect for our family. Beautiful views of sunrises and sunsets. Look across the lake in the fall for an amazing display of colors while swans swim by. Relaxing and centrally located to area attractions.
This is a very nice house on the lake with all the amenities (comforts of home) for a memorable family vacation. Lots of space for family to gather. Nice sandy area and big shallow water front with sandy bottom. It was great for all kids (ages 1 - 35) and big enough for the kids to have their own space.
This lake house really checked all the boxes for our family of 10: nicely remodeled home, close to the water, very well appointed home and kitchen, fire pit with plenty of wood, clean, boat at the dock, great owner, nice local stores, great fishing all week, and comfortable beds and linens. We will be back next summer, thank you!
My group of friends all agreed that we might come back next year. Plenty of room for 8 of us. The pontoon boat was the cherry on top, so convenient. Recommend highly!!!
This was our 8th stay and the property is amazing! The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. Our group of 14 stays right on site all week and we are never bored! The owner is very responsive, the beach and lake are incredible and the house is so comfortable and the views are perfect!
Lots of improvements from last year's visit. The beach area was a hit! The house is perfect for our large family. Great space, very clean, well-maintained. Looking forward to next year!
First time on Upper Crooked Lake and we loved it. The house was exactly how it was listed and was perfect for our family. Tons of beds for everyone. The beach was great for the little kids and the patio/fire pit was great! The inside made it feel like you were at the Beach. Communication was great with the Owner. Highly recommend this place!
My family had a very nice stay. Everything was clean. Plenty of silverware/dishes and appliances. Everything worked well. We loved having a fire every evening and sitting around talking around the fire pit. An abundance of electric outlets. AC worked and we enjoyed having extra fans in all the rooms. We also used the pontoon boat and had a great time cruising the lake. Beautiful sunsets every night.
Incredible week long stay at Brenda's Beach House with 6 adults and 7 kids of all ages. Great communication. Easy check in process. Stocked with nearly everything our large group needed for a week at the lake including amazing sunsets! Our group is already discussing our next trip back.
Had a great time. My 4 grandsons enjoyed the fishing, swimming, and playing games in the spacious cottage. Loved the kitchenâwell stocked with dishes, etc., a lot of bedrooms, and ample living spaces. We rented the pontoon boat and enjoyed the freedom to cruise around the lake and fish in different areas. All ready planning on returning next year.
We are Michiganders who now hail from Austin, Texas. There's nothing better than the endless summers of Michigan, where we raised our family on the lakefront. We hope our properties will bring fond memories to all our guests, their families and friends as it has for us.
We purchased and renovated Brenda's Beach House to be a mecca for our family and friends. We designed the property to be family friendly - the way we wanted it for our family. We are honored to have many perennial guests who have been staying with us since we purchased our first vacation rental in the area, in 2003.
Enjoy the benefits of a updated home and all the normal comforts of your own home. Look out the wall of windows and feel like you're on a houseboat floating on the lake. The gentle slope of the lake bottom and sandy beach are ideal for young families and elderly alike. The lake is low traffic allowing for teaming wildlife (eagles, swans, cranes, fish, turtles, frogs and more) year round.
