This was our second time staying here with our good family friends. The house is clean, spacious, and has an enormous yard and waterfront that’s ideal for kid and adult relaxation. We look forward to returning next summer.
We stayed here with extended family for a 4 day reunion. The house is really nice, clean, well laid out, and has an amazing deck, yard, and boat dock! The water is perfect as it stays shallow (2ft) for a ways out from the shore and was perfect for the kids to play and kayak.We rented the house next door also and loved the combined yard and extra space between the houses.
We stayed here for the first time with another family, after having rented several houses in Empire and Glen Arbor. We found the house incredibly clean and welcoming. With two families and a total of seven children, the house had more than enough room for us. We loved every minute and are already planning to return next summer. We're very grateful for the hospitality!
This house was a wonderful place to stay in. Plenty of space for 3 generations of our family. Large kitchen eating area and nice quiet spaces as well. Loved having the big yard to play in. Plenty of linens, towels, beach towels. They had paper products and dish and laundry soap for our use. Bedrooms were very large and could accommodate lots of people Will rent this again
Every single aspect of our stay was pleasant. The beds were comfortable and plentiful. The amount and quantity of linens was impressive. I was finding stashes of towels, washcloths, blankets, sheets, etc. in every nook and cranny. And the towels were thick and BEAUTIFUL! We celebrated my Mom’s 89th birthday. This place was perfect for us. Plenty of space to gather, nice grill to cook burgers, awesome fire pit near the lake, kayaks and oars for us to enjoy and aver a dozen beach towels! My cousin is a builder in the area and he was quite impressed by the quality of the extensive renovation that looked like it was done just prior to our stay. We hope to gather again at this wonderful home!
