we spent my 25th birthday up in michigan and had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful listing. upon arrival we were speechless by how perfect this property was! we could tell there was many little details placed on the property to make our stay even more enjoyable! the groups favorite part was the quack shack in which we spent all night watching movies and playing games in there! the property was a short 5 min walk from the lake which made it convenient for us. overall this has been the best listing we’ve stayed at ever!

The Mallard Duck Retreat was comfortable (beds and all) thoughtful, (had tons of supplies and the process to check in was easy and simple) and very enjoyable. Our kids loved the extra cabin with bunk beds and a climbing ladder. What a great surprise. We enjoyed the outdoor area. I was thrilled to be offered treats in the freezer for the families arrival. Great stay for family or just a couple. Thank you!

Great property and very well stocked with everything to make it a great stay.

I’ve been coming to the Prudenville and west branch for years. This was the best stay I’ve had in the area. The property had everything you could need for a get away. I recommend this stay to anyone to stay in the area. Will definitely be back!

What a delightful stay. The owners went above and beyond to ensure my stay was exceptional. We unfortunately only had a short stay. We would love to return and stay longer. The quack shack was so wonderful. It was like two places for the price of one!

This house was better than the pictures and the hosts were incredibly warm and thorough in every sense of the word. There were so many thoughtful little extras all through the home as well. They had device chargers, little snacks and treats were waiting for us, and the kids LOVED the bunk house. The water was beautiful of course and the location is a perfect hub for a myriad of things to do. The best part about our stay was how at home and welcoming it felt. Thank you Stephanie & Clinton for hosting us, we will definitely be back again!!!

This place was everything it promised and more! The host was very accommodating as well. The house had every thing we needed to feel right at home. Plenty of sleeping options to accommodate my group, everyone said their beds were comfy. Many nice touches that made our stay better than expected such as, chargers in the bedrooms, bikes and games. You really get the sense that the host has put a lot of thought into making this place great for guest.

This was the cleanest vacation rental I have ever stayed in. The kitchen was very well stocked. We enjoyed our stay so much, we skipped half of our event so that we could stay at the house longer. It was very cozy and welcoming. We will be back next year!!
