Everything was accurately stated. Property was very clean and comfortable. GPS didn’t always work glad we downloaded maps. Flying insects were plentiful but we had some fly traps and tiki torches so that we could enjoy the deck. Neighbors dogs came to visit. We tried to discourage them because of the little ones. Neighbors could be heard but not really seen. Alll in all we had an enjoyable time.

We booked this rental for our annual family vacation. The homes are exactly as listed. The main house was perfect when we all wanted to congregate together-dinners and evenings to watch TV or play games. The beautiful game room, playground and outdoor games were a hit too. Having three refrigerators was a definite plus; no need to worry about how to keep all of our food and drinks cold. All homes are well stocked and cabinets and drawers are labeled making it easy to find dishes, silverware, pots, pans etc.
We rented a pontoon from Sunny Bunns for one of
our days, everyone enjoyed being out on the lake. We also went in the lake off the property. It’s easy access off the seawall. The adults floated on rafts and the grandkids enjoyed playing in the water. A couple family members used the paddleboard as well.
Two days we drove to Oscoda Beach, which was a quick 10 minute drive. Everyone enjoyed swimming in Lake Huron plus playing in the sand. The guys all enjoy golfing and the courses were no more than 10 minutes away.
This property checked off all of the boxes for us and should we pick the Oscoda area for another trip we will definitely choose it again.

This home worked out amazingly for our group of 18, composed of 4 families, plus our mom. This rental has three fully stocked houses, plus a game room with a pool table, foosball table, tvs. Absolutely everything needed was thoughtfully provided, from outdoor games, indoor activities, water toys, crockpots, kitchenware, extension cords…. We’re planning on returning next year, and other than clothes and bathroom items, there’s very little other things we needed. Holly provided laundry tabs, garbage bags, soap…. All those little things really showed the care put into this place. We had a great time, and couldn’t have had a better week.

We had a small family reunion and this was the perfect place to have it. Lots of stuff to keep the kids busy. Hope to come back next year.

We received very clear instructions on how to check in. It was a breeze! Plenty of space for our family of 7 to stay. We had two friends join us for the last two days.
Everything was very clean and organized! They have everything you need to just walk right in. We found a few quaint restaurants with really good food. The beach was a short drive away, just beautiful! My husband and the boys fished several times a day. They caught perch, several bass, pike and a patch worthy blue gill! They had a blast!
The fire pit area was a hit, and a great place to hang out together in the evening. We will definitely book again! I've stayed at many VRBO places over the years and I can't find one negative thing to say about this one!
Thank you!

We really enjoyed this resort. All the cottages were beautiful. Plenty of yard room for everyone to do things. We loved the outdoor furniture on the main house deck and around the fire pit. The 2 bedrooms in the main house are a little small but the rest of the house was very large. There isn’t a beach area for the kids to play in the water but they finally got in about the 3rd day and had lots of fun. Overall a fun place to stay!

We have stayed at a lot of VRBO properties and overall this was the best one yet. The property is very comfortable and well equipped with everything needed to make your stay enjoyable. Communication with the owners was outstanding and the layout of the property with the outdoor gathering and play areas, lake front, and 3 cottages was great.
The larger main home allowed for family meals and get togethers while the other cottages provided areas to retreat when needed, especially helpful for kids nap time. The lake is beautiful and nearby beaches and hiking over a great vacation spot. Friends stayed here with their family in 2022 and highly recommended it...we are so glad they did.

Wonderful accommodation that worked great for my kids and grandkids. The kids had plenty to do from little girl toys to big boy canoes…making fond family memories.

Our family of 15 loved this lake stay! The weather was perfect other than an evening of summer storms. We spent many hours on the lake using the SUPs, kayaks, and canoe that came with the rental, along with our personal SUPs. We visited the Lumbermen's Monument, Tawas Point and Lake Huron. It was a "Pure Michigan" kind of week!
The listing was exactly as promised. The homes were just right for our family of 15 - ages ranging from 8-55. All of the cupboards were clearly marked, fully stocked kitchen, and plenty of soap, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, etc... the owners really thought of everything! We hope to have another family vacation here in the future.

We could not have enjoyed our stay more.
The pictures do not do the property justice.
We had kids from 8 months to 14 years old and everyone enjoyed their time, kayaking, paddle boarding, playing corn hole and badminton etc.
Home was clean with everything you needed for an enjoyable stay.
Can't wait to come back again.

We had a fabulous week. The property was ideal for the three families that stayed the week. Each family had there own house. The houses are vary clean and comfortable. The outside common area is great. We sat at the fire pit every morning and evening. Plenty of room in the doc for two boats.
We are thinking of booking this place for next year.

Perfect family vacation spot!
We feel very lucky to have found this amazing property. After having rented the same three cabins several hours east for the last 57 years, our annual vacation spot property sold and was no longer being rented. We lucked out stumbling upon this gem. We now hope that this will be our new annual family vacation spot. We all agree that it turned out to be an upgrade from the place we loved and vacationed at for so many years. We look forward to returning.
Everything was perfect and every amenity we could’ve asked for was here! We stayed a week with ten adults and two six month old twins and never once felt cramped.
To say we highly recommend is an understatement.

Great group vacation
We had a great time with our group of friends and family at this property. The yard is spacious with plenty of room to spread out. We loved having our privacy at night for sleeping in our own house, while sharing the experiences during the day with friends and family. There was no drama and no issues, it was a great escape. We loved the ambiance of the night lights around the fire pit, and the lit up volleyball court at night. The kids played games in the yard, whiffle ball, corn hole, badminton, and volleyball to name a few. Several of us really enjoyed the morning paddle board rides and the boys enjoyed fishing. There was a lot of success with perch this year. Houses were fully stocked and well decorated. We will be returning in the future for sure! I definitely recommend!

Loved it
The set up was tremendous for my large family. Some stayed early in the week and left, and others came later. The separate houses were perfect for my kids and their spouses, and grandkids. We rented a pontoon and some jet skis from Sunnybunns and just had a blast.
Thanks Tim and Holly, we loved it!

Wonderful Stay!
We spent a week at this beautiful property with extended family. The three separate houses were ideal for us! We could congregate at the main house but also retreat for needed down time as needed. Each house was extremely clean with its own full kitchen (including dishwasher), washer/dryer, TV etc. Houses were fully stocked with everything you could think of and looked brand new (and cutely decorated!) We also spent a lot of time around the central fire pit and wood was provided! Huge bonus! The kids enjoyed the included paddle boards and kayaks. We rented a pontoon boat from “Sunnybuns” boat shop and fished daily. Lots of perch and rock bass in the lake. Communication with the owners was very timely. We loved this property and are definitely thinking of coming back in 2023. There is simply nothing I could find with a set up like this private, quiet, somewhat secluded property. Highly recommend!
