Great time at this house on the lake
The house was very clean and well kept. Many windows that overlook the lake. Location is very nice. 30 minutes or so to Traverse City, about 1 hr to Petoskey. Also many nice golf courses near by. Pretty secluded but there is a market 15 minutes away. Only missed 5 star IMO was the area down to the lake. They did not provide any pictures since it has weeds and very small. Only a small path to dock. Firepit very close to house since there is no room. Also on the deck was a nice gas grill. After buying food to grill, found out the propane tank was empty. Would expect a $15 tank fill up would be included especially for the price we paid. We made the best of things and still had a great time. Thank you !!

Disappointed
The location...you should know this location is on a dirt road, depending on which way your GPS takes you, could be anywhere from 1 to 5 miles of dirt. With in 10 minute drive to downtown Kalkaska, which is great for groceries and walking. On average it took us 30-40 mins to reach downtown Traverse City. The house....for the per night cost, disappointed. The front outside isn't too bad. The back is very dirty, bugs all over the back of the house, some of the chairs are mildewy, there are 3 water feature/ponds that are full of stagnant water, one of the screen doors is bent hanging in the track (not functional) and most of the windows are missing screens (unless you want a house full of bugs, couldn't open them). The kitchen was is minimally stocked, only 1 kitchen towel, no dish brush of any kind, 1 wine glass, etc. We agree with some of the other reviewers, the beds are not comfortable. We ended up buying some things that were missing in the kitchen and just left them (dish brush, colander, dish towels, etc.). It is decorated very nice inside, the wi-fi worked great, the hot tub was nice and plenty of bathroom towels were provided. The lake is great! Being next to the launch didn't bother us one bit. The host company...was very responsive!

Great Vrbo
My husband and I took our kids, their friends and his mother for a long weekend! The house is amazing for an up north vacation home. The decor is beautiful. The house itself was great for both kids and adults. The only bad thing is it is right next to a public boat launch which we did not realize. There was lots of activity including people, dogs and boats that made the home feel less private. Otherwise is was amazing!

Lakehouse with a view but needs some attention to details
The layout of the house and the lakefront views almost made up for the shortcomings discovered during our stay. Loose boards on the front porch are a hazard that caused a guest to trip and fall. The dining room chairs’ legs were so wobbly they were not safe to sit on. The cupboards above the microwave were covered in grease, there were cobwebs on the dining room and game room lamps, and it was obvious no high dusting had been done in quite some time. The amenities were a nice touch along with the spice rack for cooking. However, the outdoor grill only had one burner that worked so we didn’t get to enjoy grilling out. The game room was enjoyed by all. The lake decor in blue is adorable. It was disappointing to spend a significant amount of money for a vacation getaway and not get the quality I expected for the price.

Overall good stay
If you care about bugs inside the house, this isn’t the place for you. The windows, while closed, still allows bugs to enter the house. We vacuumed up some bugs, but they kept coming. Other than that, the place was good. Kayaks were nice, though only four adult life vests. We purchased kid life vests at a Dunhams sporting goods store in Traverse City since the house didn’t have any for kids. Swimming at the house was ok - though you sunk into the mud and the dock area was all lily pads. The beach on the other side of the small lake was better for swimming. Nice stay but would look for another rental for next year’s vacation.

Great time, but……
Very nice inside and lakeside. Great accommodations, but a little rundown from the roadside. That view is the first impression. The porch and front deck boards need repair and in serious need of weeding. During our stay the hot water heater died and we went 30 hours without. Repairs were made and the rental folks followed up, but received no compensation. In spite of that we would consider another stay.

Nice Getaway
Nice backyard with views of lake. Caught and released good sized fish from the lake. Mentioned in listing that there are stairs to get in the house (and Inside) and that is very accurate but was perfectly fine for our group. Bugs were outside but it’s by water and in between some trees so bring bug spray while enjoying the outdoors. The bugs loved the lights on the hot tub at night so they would swarm by it. Overall would recommend to anyone looking to get away and have some scenic and peaceful views of Michigan.

Great place to stay and relax
This home was adorable and was very accurate to the listing. It’s located in a quiet and secluded area. The nearby town has great local grocery store with a great range of food to prepare your meals for the stay. We used the hot tub much more than we expected because it was so nice and works well. The curb appeal and back yard could use a little attention to make the outside of the home match the inside of the home. But obviously that does not impact the stay. Ar a previous review stated it is next to a boat ramp, but it’s a small lake and maybe had only 1-3 people use it a day. And we enjoyed being able to watch them all go in and out and chat with them about their catches for the day. It is about a 35-40 minute drive to Traverse City but it’s beautiful scenery along the way.

Great Lake house
The house was great with lots of quiet time and privacy. We spent most of our time in the balcony off the kitchen or the patio and fire pit looking at the lake. We had a fun time fishing and using the paddle boat and kayaks. The kids loved the game room and bunk beds there. The hot tub in the cool evenings was also very nice. It was a little bit of a drive to TC and other places to explore but we enjoyed the scenery on the way to those places.
