Great Get Away Property
The house was as described on line. It was neat, tidy and was great to have everyone together. The view of the lake was nice and don't forget the retractable awning. Checking in and out was easy and the owners were great to work with. They provided local info and worked with us when we called. There is a rowboat but no other water craft. Overall a very nice experience.

Exactly as advertised
Exactly as advertised. Comfortable. Lake had decent fishing. Deck is wonderful. Just a great place to chill for a week. Remote enough so you feel away from it all, but close enough to Gaylord or Petoskey if you need supplies or want to hit the Big Lake. We had a lot of fun!
