Michigan Lakefront House

Property was family and pet friendly. The little beach area delighted grand children. Beautiful view of Long Lake. Wonderful outdoor area.Bathrooms were adequate with the shower being the exception. Extremely small shower. We stayed two weeks so a shorter stay would probably be less of an issue.

The house was pretty much exactly as listed. 2 kayaks, a paddle boat. Phone data was spotty, but the home had nice wifi so it was great. The area was quiet during our stay. Be on the look out for horse drawn carriages on the roads as there are Amish nearby.

Natalie was an amazing host. It was great to have the option to pay extra for the pontoon boat right on the property. She communicated very well. The outside deck space and sandy beach was perfect. We made the three bedrooms work and enjoyed our time together as a family.

This has great outdoor spaces with deck and dock, however the whole house is very rustic, and needs updating-70 paneling, furniture, kitchen, etc. The bathroom facilities are difficult, with one tiny shower-no tub and the second “bathroom” is more a utility room with a toilet- and utility sink - the kitchen was well stocked. The beds only had a fitted sheet, no top sheet but the beds themselves were very comfortable, but the walls are incredibly thin. We would have happily rented the pontoon but it was only offered to rent paying for arrival day (check in time is 4pm -we flew in, arrived at 8pm- didn’t understand why we would be charged for a day of boat rental when we weren’t even there? But the only way it is rented even after mentioning. The lake has a lot of activity including loud zooming jet skis and boats speeding around with skiers with loud music- more of a party atmosphere / I’m all for a good time but it was disruptive while enjoying the outdoor space for meals and games and fishing with constant wake- have to pause conversations at those times but it was quiet at night. This is not a peaceful lake environment if that’s what you’re looking for. Great for pets with lots of room and neighborhood dogs. Little irritants like no hand soap in the kitchen and bathrooms, one roll of paper towel- needed to buy basic household things just for a long weekend. All in all it was a good house with great outdoor space and an incredible tree in the backyard.
