The house was good, definitely needs more upkeep to the property, there were spiders and cob webs everywhere on the outside of the house. The area was great, loved being on the lake. The kayaks were good to have to go out on the lake. The view of the lake was nice to look at. The host was very responsive for questions and concerns.

Peaceful location. Could be cleaner.
Beautiful spot to watch the sunset! We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle board and pedal boat. Kids enjoyed the arcade. We explored and enjoyed nearby Luna Pier and Monroe. Pictures are outdated and the upkeep of the property leaves something to be desired. Once we cleaned out cobwebs and the spiders in every corner we managed to enjoy our stay.

Fish camp not Lake house
Let’s be clear, this is a fishing camp. If you have children who want to play on the floor or couch, this isn’t for you. The photos were, to us, misleading. The couch and carpet are dirty. The house smelled of various types of smoke. No towels in the downstairs bathroom. Rat poison on a shelf behind curtains. The windows and door had dirt and cobwebs in and on them. We left within an hour and paid for a hotel. We tent camp so we aren’t opposed to roughing it but we rented a house on a lake and we expected it to be as pictured.

Perfect for fishing trips
It was 5 adults (one female) and it was a perfect fit, comfortably. This property is described perfectly online and the photos give a true representation of the property. If you’re looking for a 5 star elite property, this is not for you. It’s clean, practical and since it doesn’t have fancy furniture/flooring. It did the job perfectly for our group. We spent time fishing at the dock at the house and also drove to other spots. It’s only 20 minutes from Bolle’s Harbor and about 25 from Luna Pier (great fishing). We drove an hour to Lake St Clair. For the affordable price, if you’re looking for a place to lay your head and enjoy the quiet peaceful ambiance of the water; it’s right up your alley! There were no bugs, no problems and everything inside the house is clean. Owner has lots of kayaks for you to use along with seats and paddles in the garage. We would come back! Very nice owner that was always quick to respond.

Quiet and cool location.
This property was unique, located on Swan Creek, we now know why its called such.... beautiful swans right out the back door! My kis enjoyed the Kayaks and fishing. It was a cool drive as you wind your way back to the house with the houses with well kept lawns. More of a place to stay on a fishing trip, but I dont have any complaints. We made good memories, grilled some good food,slept well and a warm shower. Amazing view of lake Erie! We gave 4 stars, a touch cleaner and id do 5. Enjoyed our stay, host was prompt and polite! Thanks Steven!

If the weather hadn't been mediocre, this would be a great place to stay. Plenty of space. Dock was sturdy. View was fantastic. It is a little old, with some updates. Great value for the price.

Dirty
Stayed here to fish Detroit River and Erie and the only positives were easy check in and a dock for our boat. The kitchen was disgusting it had dirty dishes and pans put back in the cabinets. Dirty dishes left in the dishwasher. Old food in cabinets. Ants all over the kitchen and roaches in the drawers and cabinet. Shower door was broken. I did send a message to host expressing my concerns but heard nothing. The parking with trailer was horrible the only way to turn around was to go on the neighbors yard. I have stayed at a lot of places fishing all over and this was one of the worst.

Dirty, unmaintained, rundown property
This is by far the dirtiest, unmaintained, VRBO property I've stayed at in the last 10 years. I thought VRBO had standards on the properties they list. If they do, this one slipped thru the cracks. I'm so glad the wives did not come on this trip.

Solid, Low-Key Stay
Solid choice for a cool, calm getaway. A few aspects of the house aren't as cosmetically pleasing as expected, but nothing that affected the quality of the trip. Far enough out to not feel crowded, but still had access for delivery. Would rent again

Perfect boys get away!
The host was very accommodating and even let us switch our dates last minute due to a death in the family. We appreciated that so much! The sunsets on the lake were absolutely beautiful! The area is nice and there’s not a lot of traffic since it is on a dead end road. My family said they’d definitely stay here again!!
