Great stay!

We chose the area to be near our daughter's wedding venue. The house was a perfect space to rest and recharge before and after the wedding. Wish we could have stayed longer! Hope to be back another time!

Amazing house!

What a beautiful, fun, and comfortable place! The house is beyond well equipped, the beds and furniture were all extremely comfortable. Loved the lake, beautiful view and we enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. Val was very communicative, even sharing with us local events in the area. We will definitely be back!

Summer Paradise

We thoroughly enjoyed renting this well appointed 3BR home with all the amenities you could want. Loved kayaking, paddle-boarding, and tooling around North lake in the pontoon boat. Located less than a 1/2 hour drive from Ann Arbor yet it seemed as if we were way up north. The property is near multiple recreation areas and we enjoyed exploring the superb hiking trails and the nearby towns of Dexter and Chelsea. We even attended a world class premiere at The Purple Rose Theater! Great place to stay!!

Amazing time

We had an amazing time staying here. Valerie was attentive from booking, checking in, during our stay, and checking out. She is a wonderful host and person. The house was everything we could have wanted. A great home and location on the lake. We will be coming back to this special place and host.

Beautiful home!

We loved our stay at this gorgeous home! Thank you to Val for being such a top notch host with great communication. Having a bedroom and bathroom in the main floor was perfect for my parents who have trouble with stairs. Our two young girls loved all the toys, the chalkboard and really cute kids room. The views were stunning!

Wonderful North Lake Stay

My family of 4 had a fabulous stay at this lakeside property. From the time of booking (a year ago) to actually staying in the rental, Valerie was the perfect host making sure my questions were answered in a very timely manner. The house is beautiful and on a beautiful quiet lake. We rented the pontoon boat which made our trip that much more wonderful. Nothing could beat a sunset ride on the lake. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent this property again.

Perfect University if Michigan Graduation weekend

Graduation weekend is a crazy time. I am so glad we found this perfect lake house an easy 30-40 minutes from Ann Arbor. The house is perfect for family of 6, plus space for friends/family to gather for special occasion. Parking a little limited, but ok if you plan ahead. Best of all - well equipped kitchen for those who like to do a little cooking and baking. Also, the home was nice immaculate and plenty of towels and bedding, cozy blankets for rainy days. Absolutely love it!!

Awesome

We were just looking for a quiet getaway for some quality family time. This house was perfect. The decor was beautiful and so comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to make any meal. And the view on a snowy day was amazing. We loved our time there and will book again. Would love to stay in the summer and be able to use the decks and lake. Thank you!

New Years stay

We love staying at this home when we come into town to see family. Location is great for trips into Ann Arbor but also love that we can come back and relax with a fire in the frieplace on a chilly evening, while the lower level is perfect for games and watching TV. We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect Getaway!

We had such a spectacular stay at Valerie’s property! If you’re looking for a cozy, comfy, CLEAN home … in a charming neighborhood … with stunning views … this is the place! Some of our favorites: the relaxing lake views from the spacious (well-stocked!) kitchen, 2 cozy gas fireplaces, an amazing deck w/ nice furniture, SUPER comfy king in the master; all the comforts of home. Our son is at U-Mich, so we were in the area for a football game. Was so nice to escape all the craziness afterwards / come back to this cottage by the lake! We’ll be back for basketball season 😉

This is an exquisite property. Beautifully decorated and with everything you and your family would need. Valerie is an excellent host. The home is situated on the lake so that you can enjoy a spectacular morning view with coffee and then admire the stars at night. Highly recommend.

Best kept secret!

This property was meticulously clean. My 14 y/o granddaughter had a kidney transplant and is immune compromised- this property was spotless, she felt safe and that was most important to us! The owner was very kind, gets back to you right away. We were only there for 4 nights- spent much of our time volunteering for NorthStar camp that is 14 min away. This is a camp for immune compromised children and support for parents and caregivers of these kids. Plan to go back next summer and spend a lot more time enjoying the lake. We didn’t get to meet the owner due to our busy schedule, but look forward to meeting her next summer! The owner was so kind and accommodating. Definitely a best kept secret- ssshhhh!

Great family memories!

We had a wonderful time here! Valerie was a great host. She has a beautiful property, and we spent our time catching hawgs off the dock and swimming off her pontoon. We only had to contact the owner once, and she was very receptive to our request. The property was very clean, and it had everything we needed for a great stay. We hope to return next year! Thanks for a great vacation, Valerie!

Had a great time with family. Could not have asked for better accommodations.. Once we got there Valerie came right over to greet us. She walked us throughout the house and made sure we knew where everything was and answered all our questions. Valerie's home is beautiful!!! Definitely would go back.

Interior design, bargin shopping, travel, and fine wine are my passions. My business is staging homes and preparing them to sell. I offer a wide range of services including furnishing models and rental properties.

Why they chose this property

I grew up next door (and in the lake) and love this area, my neighbors, and community. Can't imagine being anywhere else. I live close by and enjoy meeting my guests, some have become friends.
