Fantastic stay and planning to return

Our group had a great time at the property. The house itself was beautiful and spacious. It comfortably slept 16 of us and 3 small children. The lake was amazing. We would love to return to this property for our next trip.

Wonderful Getaway With Friends

We rented this home over Columbus Day weekend with a group of our friends that we try to do once a year. We could not have asked for a better weekend staying in this home. The check in was flawless and the hosts were readily available if we had any questions. The home comes stocked with anything you could possibly need. We had a fabulous time and cannot wait to come back! Thanks again!

A fun vacation rental on Round Lake, Michigan

Terrific place. Lots of space. Beautiful decor. Right on Round Lake. Loads of things to do at the home and in the vacinity. Short drive to Lake Michigan. Owner communicated well. Kitchen was well appointed. Fun sandbar in lake just off of rental shore. Property manager was very approachable, too. Great place for a large family!

Fantastic lake house

We had a group of 14 family members stay for a long weekend to attend my daughter's PhD graduation from MSU. It was the perfect house, described perfectly and in a beautiful location. I would highly recommend this house to anyone. The communication with the owners was fantastic. We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate this special occasion.

Summer Send Off

5 stars. Our group visited over Labor Day Weekend with extended family ranging from grandparents down to infants. Everyone was impressed with this property. The home was spacious, clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a great weekend. The lake/beachfront were shallow, clean and sandy - perfect for the younger children in our group. The boat and tubes provided hours of fun for the older kids and adults. We also loved using the putting green and fire pit. Round Lake is great - the sand bar is directly in front of the home, and we went to Driftwood for ice cream and coffee. The hosts were friendly, generous and great communicators. The neighbors on both sides were also very friendly and helpful. Hope to visit again in the future. Highly recommend!

A Fantastic New Tradition!

Our multigenerational family stayed at this lake house and everything was perfect! The house is gorgeous with great indoor and outdoor spaces- kitchen was perfect to host our big family communal dinners; the beach and swimming area is perfect- nice sandy bottom and gradual depth for the kids! Having 5 bathrooms was fantastic. 3+ fridges and a bar area allowed room for food and beverages for all. Gerry and Liz also provided kayaks, a swim raft, floats, a great speaker to use outside, etc! And we walked to dinner and ice cream multiple nights! Can’t wait to come back next year!

Super Nice!

From communicating to the owners, to the check in, to our awesome time there . . . this was a 5 star stay! The owner went out of their way to accommodate us. They installed a handheld shower head to help us out, gave us some great suggestions on places to eat and met our every need! The location on the lake is amazing. The kids had a great time playing in the lake and running around on the beach. The adults had plenty of space for our sleeping/bath needs and great kitchen and living area for our large group. The home was very clean and we had plenty of parking space. If we head up that way again, we will definitely stay at this lovely home.

Anniversary celebration

Beautiful home and amenities- we enjoyed our visit there and with each other- and the grandkids loved playing in the sand and at the water’s edge. We spent one day in St Joe which was just beautiful! A few family members have allergies so some of the dog hair was a little bothersome for them, but other than that it was very nice! We spent each night around the fire table which was a great way to end each day!

Idyllic Beach House! We had a great family reunion here. Can't wait to come again.

We were 5 families who gathered at this beautiful beach house for Spring Break. The owners are very responsive and go the extra mile to make sure that the guests have a comfortable stay. The house had a couple of kayaks for us to use, which was a lot of fun for the family. The house was clean and as per the description. We look forward to coming again sometime in the summer or fall, to make the most of the outdoor amenities that come with the house.

Great Family Vacation

We had an amazing family vacation. The beach and lake were great and the shallow water made it perfect for our granddaughter. She spent hours in the lake.

Fantastic Place For A Family Vacation

Amazing house, amazing location, and an amazing time. We recently spent a week at the house for a family vacation. The house was perfect and very roomy to accommodate a large family. The three tiered patio provided plenty of room and options for outdoor entertainment, and the beach and lake took care of the rest. The owners were very easy to communicate with, and were very accommodating in making sure we had an excellent time. We are looking forward to coming back in the future.

Can’t beat the view

Group of 16 stayed at this huge house. Tons of room, 3 levels, not counting the 3 levels outside beachside. Beautiful clear lake with a nice sandy beach. House is immaculate, with plenty of amenities at your disposal. Bar downstairs is super cool, with a big ice maker and a wine cooler. Main floor kitchen level has a huge island with another ice maker and a food warmer! If you’re looking to take a large group somewhere for a trip, this is the spot. Breweries, great eats and atmosphere at The Strand across the lake, and plenty of golf courses. I recommend Lake Michigan Hills Golf Club, but don’t try and sneak a 5 some in they’ll get ya 😬 Also the owners were very friendly and only a text away with any kind of issues we might have had, but had zero issues and zero complaints. Will definitely be going back!
