The house was so nicely decorated. There were lots of little thoughtful touches available if you forgot something. Enjoyed the evenings on the deck watching the sunset & lake. Plenty of towels for use. It was very clean. Easy check-in and out.

Magical Experience My husband and I stayed for two night with my four older teenagers. Each and every room of the house was beautifully decorated with endless personal touches. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything you could need. We loved the kayaks, paddle boat, books, board games, beach towels and linens. We will be back again!The property is spotless and lake was clean and crisp.

Our second visit This is the second time we have stayed here...and because our first stay was so lovely! This second visit also did not disappoint. The house is beautifully appointed and relaxing with everything we need. The deck and view of the lake are the perfect respite at the end of a long day at the MI Internaltional Speedway! We'll be back again next year!

Beautiful property My sister(47), mom(77), dad(75), and I (55)visited the Jackson, MI area for a wedding. We enjoyed the property. The house is immaculate and decorated in an elegant/comfortable way. Great outdoor space. We also used the grill. It’s nice and worked well. Would recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

Quick and Easy Trip Our family was coming to the area for a Formula SAE racing event at MIS. We knew we would have some downtime so we wanted to stay somewhere that could entertain our teenagers. This home on the lake was beyond our expectations. Kayaks, swimming, fishing, campfire, speakers everywhere for music and a great yard for soccer, spikeball and tossing the football. A well stocked kitchen and the grill made dinner simple. Beautiful linens and the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on. Thank you for the attention to detail, it didn’t go unnoticed!We hope to come back soon!

Comfortable and fun family stay We had a wonderful and comfortable stay! All bedrooms had comfortable queen beds and all the bathrooms had everything we needed including plenty of fluffy towels, soaps and thoughtful extras. The coffee corner in the kitchen was well stocked and much appreciated! We especially enjoyed using the kayaks on the lovely lake and taking in the beautiful lake view from the deck. Our whole family loved it!

U of M Graduation We had a fabulous stay at Melinda’s lake house. We came in for our niece’s graduation from University of Michigan and opted to stay an hour away on the lake. Such a perfect choice! The accommodations were wonderful and Melinda is the perfect host. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience
