The beach, access to the pontoon boat, paddle board, and kayaks was wonderful. The boys learned to fish. They swam. The raft was out from the dock in stand up shallow water which made watching the boys even easier even though they are swimmers.

Wonderful owner. A few things could be done to improve the stay; the boat really needs some updating. A working ladder,new anchor;( I went out and purchased one) also all the bath towels should be replaced (threadbare old) other than that it really is a relatively nice lake (clean and not too busy)

We used this property for our wedding venue:) The host made everything so easy for us and was easy to communicate with and so friendly! The house had so much character and was a stunning backdrop for our wedding. The yard is huge and our guests enjoyed being on the water! We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our wedding! We look forward to staying here again!

We visited this rental 5 years ago and returned because of the amenities. This property has everything you need for a lake visit. Beach area, boat, paddle board, kayak. Plenty of rooms and beds for everyone to have their own space. My only recommendation is a king bed downstairs, it would give the feel of a master for the parents/ adults visiting.

We really enjoyed our stay. We cruised the lake on the pontoon boat and caught a lot of pan fish. The water was nice and we did some swimming, wading and boating. Large beautiful backyard. The house was very cozy and met all our needs. Thanks again Ellie and John.

We had a wonderful long weekend stay at this quaint, beautifully restored landmark, not far from Grand Rapids. The owner, Ellie, took good care of us, answered all our needs and even took us on a boat ride before leaving us alone for the weekend. The place was very clean and the kitchen well stocked for cooking. The pontoon boat was a nice bonus for us too!

I visited with eight adults and six children and we had a great time at the lake house! The place was very, very clean and we loved how shallow the water was and were amazed how clean it was. The kids had a great time playing in the big back yard and us adults got good use of the deck.
