Pros: - Beautiful lake - Beautiful house - Well-equipped with towels, water-safety equipment, canoes, paddleboards, sand box, toys, etc. - Awesome basement for kids to play - Huge kitchen with a second fridge in laundry room - Convenient laundry access from the deck - Responsive and accommodating hosts - Great fire pit and comfortable outdoor seating - Shallow lake with a social sandbar to swim and hang out on - Short drive to St. Joe's, a cute town with a great beach and playground Cons: - Very busy, double yellow lined highway right outside the house, causing noise during the day and especially at night. No fence for privacy or safety. - One room has 11 beds and no door, sharing the smallest bathroom in the house. Up to 16 people sharing a bathroom when combined with room next door that sleeps 5 more people - Steep drop-off from the backyard to the water with no railing, requiring extra caution for kids or those in the water. - Limited, single-ply toilet paper provided in each bathroom - Lack of basic amenities for the steep price, with limited nearby options for supplies - Absence of dish soap and limited cleaning supplies - Required to do fair amount of clean-up despite the cleaning fee, including stripping beds, emptying fridge and taking out the trash - Limited shade in the backyard, making it challenging to hang out comfortably during sunny days. A tent or umbrella would be beneficial.

We celebrated my parents 50th anniversary and had a spectacular time. The place had plenty of room and was set up really well for our needs, with nice big bedrooms for the adults and a sweet bunk room. We cooked most of our meals in the nice big kitchen. Molly was really responsive and helped us out with everything we needed (which wasn't much). It's an absolutely gorgeous property - the kids loved playing in the beach under the volleyball net and we rented the pontoon for a day on the lake. Everything is in great shape and well-maintained. We could get almost everything we needed at the small hispanic grocery store just down the road, and the breweries in town (Strand and Sister Lakes) are super cool spots. Only a couple of minor quibbles - we could have used a few more basic paper products (TP & paper towels) and there's no firewood onsite, so be sure to bring some or buy some. The house is right off a pretty busy highway, so there's a lot of road noise, and the houses next door are very close. Not the best spot if you want privacy or peace & quiet, but the tradeoff is being so close to town and everything you need. Would love to stay here again if we have the chance!

Our families had a great stay for our annual reunion lake house trip. The house was perfect for our group with 4 bedroom suites for the adult couples. The bunk room was a highlight for the kids since they can all fit in the same room and they had a great time watching late night movies all together. The house was amply stocked with everything you need to cook for a larger group. The outside amenities kept everyone busy. The house was stocked with paddle boards, kayaks and more. The sand volleyball area was put to good use each day by both the kids and the adults. The lake was calm and easy to navigate jet skis and take the pontoon out on the lake. It is a smaller lake allowing parents to see the kids on the lake the entire time. We rented the pontoon from the owners so that was a huge plus. Thank you! We did rent jet ski's but it was a challenge to find a company willing to rent and deliver them to the public dock which is conveniently close to the house. The owners were a delight and checked in to make sure everything was going OK at points throughout the trip. They were also very responsive when we had questions. This house is a definite rent again for our group in the future.

Our family really enjoyed our relaxing stay! This beautiful home was perfect for adults & children alike. The lake is beautiful and clean. A side trip to St. Joseph, MI filled a rainy day. Lots of things to do! The host is quick to respond to any questions and extends her hospitality with a smile! Definitely worth a return trip! Thank you!

Perfect house for our group of 11! Plenty of room indoors and outside for reading, relaxing, game playing, cooking, and eating. Having the lake right there, with a large floating raft, paddle boards, and kayaks made for lots of water fun. Great location in that the house is near farmers’ markets, La Perla market, Driftwood Summer Shop for delicious ice cream, and the adorable town of St. Joe, which is fun for shopping and dining. We had a wonderful time at this gorgeous, well-appointed lake house!

Nice home

We recently took our first entire family trip and stayed the weekend at this beautiful lake house. The house had plenty of room to generously accommodate all of us..my husband and I, three daughters and their spouses and all of our grandchildren (7) ranging in age from 6-17. The fact that it was cloudy and rained a good part of our stay didn’t seem to affect anyone, we had an absolute blast kayaking, paddle boarding, beach volleyball, playing in the water and building sand castles..lots of enjoyment with the game tables downstairs too. The house is so well equipped..we brought food and beverages and didn’t want for anything! Molly is very attentive and pleasant to communicate with. I only wish we could have stayed longer and hope we can return at some point in the future..maybe next year?

Great property Great owner Thank you Molly
