Great property
This beautiful lakefront home had everything we needed for our group of four couples. The home is well stocked with kitchen supplies, paper goods and linens. Even the outdoor grill is first-rate and the host has provided firewood for a campfire and kayaks to enjoy the beautiful lake. We loved the location and would come back again and again!
Thank you, Mercedes, for a wonderful stay!

Family Lake Vacation
Overall the stay was great. The home is set up nicely for large groups with 2 full baths and a kitchen on each level. We were disappointed in the yard space on the lakeside of the house. It really slopes down to the lake so it wasn’t great for small children. I hope that at some point an investment would be made to add a deck/balcony off the lakeside of the home.

Great family vacation
We stayed at this property with extended family, including young children. The host was extremely responsive to requests. For example, we asked if children's life jackets were available at the house. They were not, so the host purchased the life jackets and had them waiting for us to use during our stay. The host also arranged for a high chair and pack n play, and came to the house on short notice to put delivered groceries away after our flight was delayed. The house itself was great for our large group. Everything was very clean and kitchen well-stocked. Ample firewood was provided for the large fire pit. The private dock was very convenient, and we rented a pontoon boat (through a separate company) to use during our stay. It was only about 15 minutes to both the airport and downtown area. We would return and definitely recommend!

The best spot in TC
We had an incredible stay on the lake and I can't say enough great things about our experience! Comfortably fit a group of 10 adults. The amenities (grill, fire pit, dock and lake access, outdoor tables, double kitchens/laundry rooms) were excellent, and all communications with the hostess were speedy and smooth. Great view of the Silver Lake July 4th fireworks from the dock!

Beautiful house on the lake with gorgeous Lake view. Lots of room for the 7 of us. Clean and lots of space for us to either sit together for games or have our own time. Close enough to the shopping centers or convenience stores when in need. Property owner was very helpful and quick to respond. We had a great time!

We spent 6 nights here, and had a great time! We had 6 adults and 4 teenagers, and had more than enough room and activities for everyone. The space is perfect, the location can’t be beat, and the hosts have thought of everything. Wonderful communication before and during our stay as well. Zero complaints and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

Wonderful home!
The house was exactly as pictured. Very comfortable for 2 families; would have fit the original 3 families we had planned for with plenty of rooms and bathrooms. The lakeside location is perfect and it was super easy to take the kayaks out and enjoy the lake. The hosts were really responsive and helpful - and I bugged them several times before we even showed up. Would definitely stay here in the future.

Family vacation
What a relaxing trip. The home provided plenty of space and privacy for four families (11 people). Upon arrival we were welcomed with a basket full of goodies and two bottles of local wine. The owners made sure we had plenty of firewood for our 5 night stay; this provided a great way to unwind at the end of the day once the kids were down for the night. Additionally, all the little things that you don't think about needing were there (spices, foil, plenty of cooking supplies, and an awesome grill with an extra propane tank-they thought of everything). The location is perfect for day excursions. We were able to visit many attractions in the a.m. and enjoy the water all afternoon. Would highly recommend to large groups. Thank you for everything. Kindly, J.Z.

Memorial weekend for our cousin
Beautiful, spacious house with lovely lake view for our large group. Four full bathrooms, 2 full kitchens and 7 sleeping areas including pullout sofa bed on lower level gave us ample space to spread out. Convenient to Traverse City and many scenic sites and quaint towns. Hospitable hosts arranged welcoming, fun things in the home for our enjoyment (games, fire wood for fireplaces and fire pit, kayaks. coffee, special snack) and responded quickly to a few questions and help we needed. We very much enjoyed our stay and would return.

This property is amazing if you are a family that loves to fish, swim, kayak, and relax by the water. We rented a pontoon and jet ski for a day and that was fun as well. This property is not far from Sleeping Bear Dunes and other attractions. We enjoyed our stay.

Multi family trip
The property works very well for multiple families with 2 separate living areas and 2 kitchens. I would say that this property is not for handicap folks wanting to access the lake / dock . The property has quite a slope with several steps which we found very hard for our handicap family member.
Our young child had to be watched around the steps at all times .
The house had everything in the kitchen that we needed and lots of extra towels and linens .

Wonderful Lakeside Property for Families
This lakeside home was perfect for our large family. We especially appreciated having 4 full bathrooms to share among 6 bedrooms, not to mention laundry both upstairs and down. The views of the lake are spectacular from both levels. Our grandchildren loved the grassy front yard to play in, and there was plenty of outdoor seating where we could kick back and enjoy the view.
Mercedes was very attentive to any questions and needs we had. It was an all-around positive experience for our entire family.
