Beautiful home, but clearly a rental. Upstairs guest bathroom tub was not clean, very tired. Toilet ran incessantly and leaked due to sweating. Needs attention
Owner not attentive to messages or questions regarding the property
Note no Air Conditioning in the home and box fan on the main bedroom
Not the anticipated quality given the price
5.0 / 5.0
The house was perfect for our family (six adults and four children). The shallow water close to shore was great for young children, and we enjoyed having the dock and small sandy beach area for the kids. Great for paddleboarding, kayaks, watching loons, and simply enjoying the view. The deck was newer and a wonderful place to hang out. The house was spacious and the kids loved the bunk room.
The house does not have AC, but even with a couple warmer days, it cooled off at night, and the ceiling fans kept it comfortable.
Highly recommend this property!

After searching for a house with a beach and space for my kids and grandkids, we decided to book this property. The house, and location did not disappoint. The previous reviews were spot on! We had a wonderful week. The lake views, beach, yard, deck, and spacious interior were fabulous. It was a perfect way to spend time with family. We will definitely book again.

Family vacation
This house is beautiful and sits on a very shallow part of the lake, perfect for small kids. The pictures don’t even fully capture its beauty and peaceful locale. The gorgeous private beach was enjoyed by all, from morning coffee at sunrise and building sand castles to swimming and fishing in the evening. The house is in a perfect location. It is a short drive to harbor springs and Petoskey and very close to the beautiful Lake Michigan beaches. We were able to drive to two local wineries and did a day trip (35 min drive to the ferry) to mackinac island. We can’t wait to come back!

Our FAVORITE rental ever!
This house was absolute perfection... It was beautifully decorated, clean, and spacious. We loved the quiet area, and the lake (because it is smaller) was calm and warm. We loved being able to bike into Petoskey using the nearby trail, and we were able to enjoy daily kayak and paddle board outings. Our kids loved playing in the sand, and the bunk bed room was absolutely awesome. This was, by far, our favorite rental house! We hope to come back again!

Fantastic Stay
Fantastic home centrally located in the heart of everything. The home sits on Round Lake and is very close to downtown Petoskey, State Parks, Vineyards and Boyne Mountain Resort. Great golfing within a close vicinity.
We will most likely be returning to this property in the future!

Excellent Vacation
The home was very nice and in close proximity to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. The view was excellent and plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable in. The home had all the amenities you could ask for. I will definitely consider returning to this home in the summer and even the winter!

Excellent home on quiet lake
Our family of 9 from ages 6 to 72 yrs all thoroughly enjoyed our vacation! This home was beautiful and very comfortable. Everything you could possible need. Plenty of seating, inside and out. Great beach, dock, fire pit, bbq and so much more. Owner was great with communication, and check in/out was a breeze. Wish we could stay another week!

Tranquil oasis close to all the action!
House and property are awesome! Kitchen is better equipped than most homes. Bedrooms are large and spacious. Common areas will easily accommodate large groups. The grounds are lovely and this place has its own private little sandy beach. House comes with tons of outside accessories like bikes, paddleboards and winter gear. We rented a pontoon for the week and kept it at the dock. The area is so peaceful and serene yet you are 10 minutes to Petroskey or Harbor Springs with wide choices for restaurants and shops. We had lots on our agenda to see and do...but we ended up loving the house and lake so much we rarely left! Great communication with owner. Lake life here was a joy! To be fair...if you happen upon a hot day the house can be stuffy. But fans abound in each room and the fresh lake breezes were indeed cooling. We are long time VRBO folks...this is a gem!!

Great summer vacation
My family and I had an amazing time! The house was immaculate and plenty big enough for our family and extended family. We put our boat on the dock and basically had the lake to ourselves the entire week. My older parents stayed in the master and they were comfortable with the separate living quarters. Kids loved the bunk beds and we all had more than enough space to separate in different leisure rooms at times. The deck was newer and we had several great home cooked meals watching the loons on the lake. The paddle boards provided an amazing early morning activity to paddle out and watch the loons. What an exciting and fun added adventure.
There is no A/C but even with the hot summer days, the nights were cool and the breeze off the lake made it very pleasant. They also had ceiling fans in addition to plug in fans that made it very pleasant.
We highly recommend this Loren's home. We go away every year and this was our best stay and will definitely be back!

Perfect Week
This house was the perfect place for our family this summer! We rented it to celebrate my mother in law’s 60th birthday. It comfortably slept 8 adults and 2 kids. The house itself is very pretty and very new. We cooked dinner/grilled there most nights, and it was well stocked and efficient. We loved sitting outside to eat and really enjoyed the fire pit. The two toddlers loved the sandy beach area and the shallow water. Great location too! 5 mins to Harbor Springs and Petoskey.... we even rented a boat on charlevoix one day, and that was an easy ride too. I would definitely recommend this spot!!!

Great house, great location
This was the perfect house for our annual golf trip to the Boyne area. It is a beautiful home and had everything we needed. The location is perfect, situated half way between Habir Sorings and Petoskey.

Outstanding Round Lake Property
This is the 3rd year we have stayed at this property and absolutely love it. The house is newly built and furnished nicely. The views of round lake are very beautiful. There is so much to do ...paddle boarding, kayaking or just enjoying the view. The owners are wonderful to work with. Our whole family looks forward to our week at the lake each summer.

Great Family Vacation
This home on Round Lake was a perfect place for my two daughters and their families to meet with my wife and me. The warm lake and sandy beach area gave my grandchildren many hours of enjoyment. The accommodations were quite comfortable for the children (5 under the age of 11) and 6 adults. Plenty of space both indoors and out and close proximity to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Petoskey State Park enhanced our week. We would come back without hesitation.

Perfect up north vacation spot! Great Location!
This place is beautiful. Completely rebuilt, top to bottom. Comfortable and cozy. Location is perfectly situated between harbor springs and Petoskey, close to skiing, restaurants, and shopping. Perfect spot for summertime visits too as it's close to the state park and bike paths. Love this house!

Can't wait to rent again!
This was actually my second time renting this home in beautiful Harbor Springs. The first time was in Jan. 2017 with my family. We rented it for a long weekend for skiing and snow boarding, the second time being with a bunch of girlfriends for a wine tour/girls get away. This home is beautiful. The décor is very upscale and very warm and cozy. It was nice in the winter to sit by the fireplace after being on the snow hill all day (which was only minutes from the property) and it was even better in spring to sit on their beautiful deck with all my girlfriends and enjoyed the view of the quiet lake. We were just minutes away from downtown Harbor springs or Petoskey. Angel and Loren were amazing to deal with. They were very tentative and welcoming and made sure both our stays were flawless. My friends and I are actually planning to make this our annual girls trip. Can't wait to go back!

Absolutely gorgeous!!
Beautiful home in a great location. We were there for a ski weekend over New Years Eve with four families. The house was conveniently located just 10 minutes from Nubs Nub and Boyne Highlands. It was a perfect home for families as there was a nice separate space upstairs where the kids could play games or watch TV while the adults hung out in the main floor kitchen/living room. The property was equally close to Petoskey and all of its quaint shops and restaurants. We had an amazing time here during the winter and I cannot wait to get back up there in the summer to enjoy Petoskey state park and do some hiking/biking. All in all a great place to stay!!
