Nice rental home with plenty of room
Very comfortable rental home. Plenty of room. Master bed is very comfortable. Convenient for lake activities. Not so convenient to get to the UTV trails, but we made it work.

Great Value, Nice place
When we first pulled into the driveway, my overall impression was this looks very homey. A nice picnic table out front, fire pit in the back, just a relaxing feel. The property itself did not have air conditioning which I didn't know at the time of booking. It was probably listed, I just didn't see it. However, he does have a portable AC unit that was more than sufficient and plenty of fans and fans on stands. The home itself is very clean. Very nice. It did have a slight slant to it. The only thing I would have preferred (this is just a functionality thing), is having the refrigerator door open from the opposite side. Other than that, very very minor complaint, this was an excellent property. Great value for the money and I would stay here again.

Great location for a long weekend getaway
Close to lots of resources (groceries, gas, bait store, etc.). The house was very clean and had no weird smells. It's very close to the lake, only about a block. Nothing fancy, but it was a great home base for our family outing. One thing I could suggest is a "user guide" that tells about lake access and local spots. Wi-Fi was good, and we loved that our dog could come with us.

Cottage feel
I grew up in cabins in Michigan so you can’t expect luxury , this place was nice and clean and the portable air conditioner and fans they provide, were sufficient . It was fairly cool out though. I can’t tell ya how it would keep up in really hot temps . The beds were comfortable the first bedroom bed my brother and his girlfriend occupied they kept hitting their shin on a pointy edge so my husband wrapped and duck taped a towel around it , the second bedroom you just have to remember there is a step down . I tripped a few times forgetting the step down was there . The house next to this on the left which looks like an abandoned building actually has people living there and is rather dumpy outside in the right of this place is a trailer that is fairly nice , but is another VRBO . They seemed to have wanted to join our firepit because i guess they didn’t have one . Very close to msin drag 55 which didn’t affect much i slept fine . Just not super cozy and secluded . Overall though it was a great place to stay for the money . Thanks Doug for responding to our texts in a very timely manner . I would stay here again .

Nice cabin
Nice place, clean and organized. 2 small issues. The heat register in the bathroom doorway is a toe killer! You could replace with a proper one designed to be on a floor and fit flush. Secondly the neighbor was burning his trash/plastic about 20 feet outside the front door the entire time we were there, I understand there isn't much you can do about it but I thought it should be mentioned.
