Loved it!

We loved our stay at the A Frame! Was just the right amount of space for the six of us to settle in and relax for a week. The location on Round Lake was perfect for fishing, kayaking, and exploring Lake Michigan. The cabin was fully stocked and very clean.

Perfect for our Trip

This property fit our needs perfectly. We were only up for a few days to explore around the area. Traveling with 7 isn’t always easy to accommodate, but we slept very comfortably. The location was relaxing and serene, while centrally located to the places we wanted to visit. The hosts were easy to contact and the property was fairly priced.

Lovely stay!

We so enjoyed this beautiful property! We especially loved the kayaks and the tranquil small lake and the state park for hiking nearby! We had a very hard time leaving because it was so wonderful! Thank you for a great stay. Highly recommend this property for families because of the gradual entry to the lake with a small sand beach.

Great place to stay while skiing in the area

We had a great time staying at this place while skiing at Nub's Nob. Very nice house, space is well organized and clean. Plenty of space for everyone. House was warm and cozy despite the cold weather outside. I would definitively consider coming back in winter for skiing, or in summer to enjoy the lake and the surrounding area.

Great cabin in an awesome location

We had an excellent stay at this cabin! My kids loved fishing off the deck. We couldn't find a couple items and the owner was very prompt in answering all of our questions. We loved the close proximity to Petoskey State Park for beach days with some great waves. We took a day trip to Mackinaw Island also. Overall I would highly recommend! Thanks for everything.

Beautiful, just Beautiful

This was a wonderful weekend. We fished on the dock, hung out by the fire pit. We couldn't do too much because it rained almost the entire weekend so that put a damper on things. But the beds were comfortable, everything was clean. The home is beautiful, pictures dont do it justice. We were talking of doing this again before I start treatments and wont be able to travel. Thank you for sharing your home with us we completely enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Location

Though the lake was frozen, we appreciated the view and lights across the lake. The neighborhood was quiet, and friendly. One of the neighbors even invited our children to ice skate with their grandchildren. The house was conveniently located near Harbor Springs, and Boyne Highlands where we spent most of our time.

Amazing location on perfect lake

The house was exactly as pictured and described, with very nice beds and updated baths. There are window units, which are needed in the upstairs space, so are much appreciated though they didn’t appear very clean. This is part of the reason for my deduction to the rating on cleanliness. The back yard/ waterfront space was lovely, except for one aspect I’ll get to in a minute. The dock is new and very sturdy and we really enjoyed the chairs on the dock, sand area and fire pit. The downside was the geese which continued to return and the amount of goose droppings in the yard, as well as in the sand. My boys loved the sand beach area but we couldn’t let them play the last few days because the geese continued to come in making it unsanitary for a kids to dig and sit in. It seemed like neighboring houses had some deterrents to this problem and we didn’t see the geese in their yards much, so hopefully this is a simple fix. Even with that, we would stay again given the lake, dock, space, and proximity to Petoskey and Harbor Springs, and the island.
