Great Family Vacation Property

We really enjoyed our stay. We cruised the lake on the pontoon boat and caught a lot of pan fish. The water was nice and we did some swimming, wading and boating. Large beautiful backyard. The house was very cozy and met all our needs. Thanks again Ellie and John.

Relaxing stay at this unique lake house

We had a wonderful long weekend stay at this quaint, beautifully restored landmark, not far from Grand Rapids. The owner, Ellie, took good care of us, answered all our needs and even took us on a boat ride before leaving us alone for the weekend. The place was very clean and the kitchen well stocked for cooking. The pontoon boat was a nice bonus for us too!

Very clean, beautiful lake, big yard

I visited with eight adults and six children and we had a great time at the lake house! The place was very, very clean and we loved how shallow the water was and were amazed how clean it was. The kids had a great time playing in the big back yard and us adults got good use of the deck.

Great Family Lake House

This was the perfect place for us to bring young children. The yard is big, the beach is fun and the water toys were perfect for our little ones. They loved riding the pontoon boat, kayaks and paddleboat. We appreciated the entire family for their hospitality and it was so fun staying in the historic home.
