New Years get away

We had a great weekend with our family and friends. The game room was great for those that stayed up later after the kids went to bed and the kitchen had plenty of room for us to cook and feed our 3 families during our stay. There were lots of bed options to accommodate the adults and kids as well. The location is great for snowmobiling, however the weather did not cooperate this time. Would definitely look at booking this location again.

A vacation that we look forward to every year with our family! Perfect place to relax and enjoy the lake up north! Very peaceful setting and great location overlooking the beautiful, clean lake.

Great place to stay!

We have stayed at this home before and love the convenience of getting to the snowmobile trails! While the Michigan weather was not in our favor this year we stilled had a great time with friends. The house is well maintained and has all of the amenities you need. Plenty of room and the bonus game room is great for the kids to hang out.

Great place in a great location. We rode trails on side by sides. Plenty of rooms. Right by Hideaway bar. Too cold for the water but the beach was sandy.

Great place on the lake!

The location is spot on! Right off the lake with a great sandy beach for the kids to play. Renting the pontoon for a day was always great to get out on the lake. The house was kept up nice and the extra play room with the pool table was fun. The beds are old and weren't the best to sleep on but overall we had a great time!

Annual Summer Vacation to Starvation Lake

We all had a great time. 12 Adults on this vacation and plenty of room for us to gather and have an awesome time. Nice location convenient for day trips. Rita was easy to get ahold of if needed. Plenty of parking spaces, easily walk out from house to sandy beach to clear water. Nice dock for your boat. Good trout fishing lake if you’re up for night fishing. We’ll be back for sure.

Weather/view perfect

Fishing was outstanding. Lake clean and we do like the rules! The stairs are a challenge only because all of us are 47-80 years old . But the view is worth the climb. We would rent again.
