Book your stay at Zeron's Island and enjoy a truly unique and unforgettable getaway.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire 8 acre private island, ensuring complete privacy with no other cabins or people on the property.

I am available to all guests 24/7 by phone, email, or text. Whether you have questions, need help with logistics, have any issues, or need directions, feel free to contact me anytime!

This small northern Michigan lake town is a summer time paradise get away and all of the locals are a nice bunch that are very welcoming who for the most part all come from down state on weekends and holidays to enjoy family time on the water and a relaxing getaway. It is a very relaxed area with plenty of activities for all ages. The 850 acre lake has 3 islands and is large enough to where it is never crowded and is surrounded by nice cabins and great views.

There is no public transportation. The only way to actually get to the island property is by boat. We have different pontoon boats to rent at different prices or guests are welcome to bring their own boats to get to and from the island. Boat transportation is a must though as there are no roads or bridges to access the island with a car or by walking. We have a 2014 Misty Harbor 12 person pontoon boat that rents for $250 a night and a 2020 Misty Harbor that rents for $300 a night.

There is a $150 cleaning fee that all renting groups pay so the home is professionally cleaned before they arrive and after they check out. We provide all linens and they are freshly cleaned and folded in the closest and all beds are made prior to each guests arrival.
Guests are expected to behave as responsible adults with no wild and crazy parties. Of course the property is there to be enjoyed by all we just ask that it is respected as if it were your own. The cabin is ran on 32 solar panels so power needs to not be wasted however we do have a back up generator that is set up to turn on automatically if the battery bank is below a certain amount. If you have questions about what you can bring please ask and feel free to contact me at anytime.

Dishwasher & laundry must not be used at night since they do require a lot of power so we ask that only be used during the day.

We don’t allow any check in/out days or changeover days to be on a Saturday.

We have 3 different pontoon boats that are available between our two properties and for other people around the lake. We require a pontoon rental be booked for the duration of your stay even if you’re bringing a boat of your own. Ask about pricing as this will be an additional cost to the booking and must be figured out before a reservation can be accepted.

Must be 25+ to book.

When booking in July we do not give weekly discount for a week long rental.

Family Vacation
We haven’t been on a full extended family vacation in 10 years and this was a wonderful place to go to finally all get together. The lake is beautiful, property grounds and home are very nice. Working with the owner was easy and very informative. The only thing I would say is the home is a tad bit smaller than what I thought in the pictures. Still would highly recommend booking here!

First Family Getaway
This was the first time we’ve ever used something like VRBO for a trip. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars across the board however there were a few areas that did not meet our expectations. Communication with the owner was spotty. I often had to message him a few times before hearing a response. Cleanliness got 3 stars because upon arrival we found a used bandaid on the futon, a used towel hanging in the master bedroom, a large clump of hair on the master bedroom floor, and the Blackstone was not wiped down. The shower in the guest cabin was also covered in bugs although we had no need to use it. We also almost ran out of toilet paper (9 people stayed). We also found out the hard way (midway through grilling steaks) that the propane had been on the entire first day. I would definitely suggest wearing water shoes as both of my brothers cut their feet on glass off the beach. And then one found a bullet casing. Other than those items the island was a blast. Having all of the boat options, the beautiful sandy beach, and the gorgeous large windows for viewing the lake even from inside on our rainy day.

Zeron Island is absolutely beautiful! The home is exactly as pictured. We kept remarking at how clean everything was. Even the outdoor bathroom. Not a cobweb to be found. Our pups loved the trail through the woods, and it was so nice to open the door and let them run. We all had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back!! PS..the photos I have of the Island, sunset and sunrise are gorgeous.

Amazing Island Stay!
Our group of friends had a fantastic time staying on Zeron's island! The island was so beautiful and had so many activities - bags, jenga, lawn bowling, stand up paddle boards, and so much more. Joe was super responsive and provided very helpful turn by turn directions to help us find the place. We loved sitting by the fire pits and appreciated the ample supply of pre-chopped wood! Sleeping arrangements for 13 got a little tight - but with extra air mattresses available we made it work. The grounds around the main cabin would be great for camping too if we had brought tents! Couldn't have asked for a better trip - we're already looking to book our return :)

Peacefully Relaxing
It was a wonderful stay and the only thing I would change is adding railing to the steps for 60 + folk and another small step upon entering the French doors other than that it was a little peace of heaven and none of us wanted to leave and go back to reality . It was perfect and Joseph was quick to answer any questions ty Robin

Top-Notch Everything
The lake, the island, the property, the buildings, the boat, the amenities, the property manager - everything was perfect. We had a group of 11 guys who all immensely enjoyed ourselves. This place is perfect if you want a relaxing lake vacation or if you want somewhere to facilitate all your favorite outdoor activities. It allowed us to create our own perfect mix of both. Communication was great, any extra questions (which were few, since the documents and directions provided were excellent) got answered promptly and politely, and our stay was made that much more relaxing. We had multiple guys who returned to the island, and many of us will do so again. Completely worth it.

Unique Adventurous Experience
Unique experience..adventure awaits. Great communications, comfortable beds/linens, which is always appreciated! Quiet nights and tons of quality firewood! Our 12 girls had a great time for our 24th Annual Girls Weekend on Zerons Island. Only downside, the island is definitely the local hangout for boaters on weekends, there were 20-30 boats that tied up on Saturday (a few on Friday too). Unfortunately, they were not very friendly and pulled in right where our group was hanging out. We still had a great time, but should be noted to expect visitors if renting in the summer on the weekends!

Hidden Gem - Bach Party
Upon arrival Joe (property manager) sent us multiple articles illustrating sage lake and this island, everything I read was an understatement of this unique piece of property. The views from the island are unforgettable - watching the sunset and especially the stars when sitting around the camp fire. Let alone the resources on the island; kayaks/paddle boards/yard games. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

Landscaped Paradise
Outdoor furniture by Berlin Gardens is the best I've ever seen, and goes along with the extensive landscaping. There is something for all ages. The youngest had plenty of room to wear out before nightfall, running up and down the waterfront before settling down to smores at the fire pit. Middleaged had a house full of games and extensive paths to explore. Grandma and myself settled into the comfy furniture until the twilight pontoon cruise. Highly recommend the new pontoon - well worth the price difference. Fishing was not as good as we hoped, but the scenery made up for that. The only negative I can think of is the locals liked to hang out a a few sandy areas around the island, but never were a problem. This was one of the nicest cabins we have ever rented! Thanks for sharing!!!

Perfect Bachelor Party Getaway
We had a group of 13 guys celebrating for a bachelor party and let me tell you, we couldn’t have picked a better spot. Zeron’s island was a beautiful and isolated oasis perfect for a bunch of rowdy late-20s guys. Joe was an amazing host - communicating very effectively and regularly. I would highly recommend this unique destination for any kind of bachelor party, family reunion, or just a getaway with friends for a summer holiday. Just keep in mind that there are only 4 real beds and 2 pullout sofas so if you have a group of only guys that don’t want to share beds, you’ll need to bring lots of air mattresses and will likely be bunking up in the auxiliary building as well. Overall though I just can’t wait to come back again, it was a top notch home and experience!
