Great Facilities for Family but Not Clean
The facilities were appropriate for our extended family group but were not properly cleaned for our arrival. There are 3 bathrooms and the mold in the primary shower was a big issue. Also, the on/off valve handle was loose and needed repaired. The primary bathroom counter was dusty and had hair on it. The floor in the dining area was dusty and there were clothes in one dresser drawer. The recycled bin was full and several lights inside the house were burned out. Also, the natural gas fireplace in the family room kept going out after it lit. The property had great potential, but the cleanliness was lacking and detracted considerably from our enjoyment. The property owner said he would address the cleanliness, but he did not.

Great annual trip with four families.
Very clean house and all amenities cared for. Beds are comfortable. Great location - short drive to local restaurants and convenience stores. Lake is a shallow. But also not very busy so easy to tube off of a boat. Lots of room for larger groups.

We were in town for a family wedding in East Lansing with the reception at Crystal Gardens in Howell. Perfect property and location for out of town large families traveling to stay and relax for an event or reunion. 2 Bedrooms upstairs in the main house and 1 bedroom downstairs and 1 large bedroom with bunks with a full bathroom in the garage. The cousins enjoyed the game room in the garage - complete with ping-pong, table shuffle board, video game console, and wet bar. Hot Tub, Kayaks, and fire pit outside - gas grille … we’ll equipped and maintained. Owners were responsive and helpful! Highly Recommend! 5 Stars John and Kristin, NJ

Great weekend getaway with the family
Our family stayed at this house in early March and we had a great time. The home was spacious but cozy with all the necessary amenities we needed for the weekend. The kids loved the board games and the garage/game room space was a huge hit! The weather warmed up just enough for us to be able to enjoy the kayaks on the lake and the warm sunshine. Hot tub was great and overall it made for a fun, quick little family getaway to break up the monotony of the day to day. We had a tiny little issue with the bulbs in one of the bathrooms and the owners were quick to respond and come out to replace the bulbs. They were also very responsive to messages. Thanks again for a great stay!

Hallmark House Had it All
Family from California to Florida gathered for Christmas Holiday at what we dubbed the Hallmark House. Our stay was the best! Plenty of comfy beds, a large well-equipped kitchen, swans on the lake, a cozy fire, games and puzzles, a warm hot tub, s’mores by the outside fire—all contributed to our perfect visit! Our host could not have been more responsive to any questions! We would definitely stay again at this fantastic house!

Howell Holiday
Family ages 3 to 72 loved their stay at this lovely home. Something for everyone; hot tub, jetted bathroom tub, outdoor and indoor fireplaces for example. The open concept allowed us to have space but stay connected while we played games, baked cookies and watched football. The home and grounds were well maintained. Hope to visit area again😊

Great place for many people.
Great place for large dinners and hanging out. With the water so close with kayaks it’s great! The coffee maker seems broken so perhaps bring your own. And the lake is so nice, just know if you want to just swim off the dock there is a lot of seaweed that comes up to the surface, so best if tubes are brought. Would stay again!

Perfect Family getaway…
The house was beautiful and rustic but with every amenity that you could ask for. It had all the necessary tools to make family dinners and restaurants close by if you didn’t want to cook. The fishing was wonderful and our grandkids became bonafide fisherman on this trip. The swans and ducks were fun and the game room was an extra that all enjoyed! We loved our entire stay!!
