Family Trip

My kids and I enjoyed the three night at the classic on the lake. It was very quiet environment. The house was very clean, check in was very smooth. The only downside is we couldn’t rent a pontoon, all boat rentals were booked or they don’t deliver to the lake. We used what’s available in the house which was a Patel boat and kayak which was fun too, but we prefer a pontoon. Overall it was a great trip.

Great stay!

My wife and I spent 4 nights here and enjoyed them all. We fished each of the five lakes, enjoyed coffee on the deck while the loons swam by and grilled out a couple of nights too! We also took our boat to a couple of other lakes in the area and had a day in Harrison thrift shopping and trying a couple of the restaurants. The stay was very comfortable and having everything we needed already there meant our packing list was short. Great cozy spot with things to do and quiet enough for a lot of R&R as well.

Cute and clean!

Lovely place on the water! We stayed for our anniversary weekend and enjoyed this home very much. Steaks on the charcoal grill and kayaks in the water, perfect! My only suggestion is to put a small dresser in each bedroom as there is nothing to set your luggage on or put into. The large deck is great for enjoying the water and fresh air.

Lake front fishing trip

A friend and I spent a week at the waterfront rental and were very comfortable. From check in to check out everything went super smooth. The house was clean comfortable and well stocked with everything needed for a perfect week. We fished several lakes in the area and never more than a few minutes drive from great fishing. We both said we would love to stay here again. Hats off to Ruth!!

Great Cabin

A very nice cabin on the water. While the weather was not the best on the first half of our stay there was plenty of things to keep us busy in the cabin, games and reading. The outside deck was a pleasant place to sit and watch the world go by once the weather straightened out.

It's not the Ritz

Nice enough, but think "Fifties Fishing Rental." Very pretty venue on a canal off Lake Huron. House was just so-so. New beds, new bath. Kitchen sorrowful, appliances really bad, minimal furniture. Mostly paneled walls. TV is on Roku only. Deck had been treated with something, making it slippery as ice for our entire stay. All summer toys were stored away (patio pads, chairs, kayaks).

Great weekend!!

Rented the property for a fun but relaxing birthday weekend with a couple of friends. The host Ruth was VERY nice and accommodating, she even left a basket of snacks and a Happy Birthday balloon. The property was clean and just as advertised. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family and plan to stay again next summer.

About the host

Hosted by Ruth

Host profile image
Travel has always been a part of my life. I've stayed in all sorts of accommodations, in dozens of countries, on multiple continents. For the past 20 years I have worked in the hospitality industry. I love travel and I love hospitality. I appreciate the timelessness of classics - like Atticus (To Kill a Mockingbird), "She Love You" (Beatles), that 1967 Ford Mustang GT500 that shares a name with Eleanor Roosevelt who was classic in her own right, French baguettes, British scones, African safaris, and cowboy hats. Classics make memories that aren't forgotten. They bring people together. They give you something to reminisce over when life moves on. That is what I hope you will experience at Classic on The Lake. Come enjoy, relax, laugh, live, and remember! Thank you for stopping by, and welcome back anytime!

Why they chose this property

Harrison is located "within 20 miles of 20 Lakes" and offers many activities in the area. My kids grew up coming to the family cottage just a short walk away, and when we found this house, I was sold at first sight. I love the classic style lake house, the quality of the era, and the great location on the chain of lakes. The full kitchen really sold me, as I've been a professional baker for over two decades, and love a kitchen I can really use! With a bit of dreaming and elbow grease, we brought this classic back to life.

What makes this property unique

This property is quiet enough to work at, comfortable and welcoming enough for a retreat, and fun enough for a family vacation. There are plenty of restaurants around, but the full kitchen might make you want to stay in. The large deck, grassy lawn leading to the waterfront, and firepit are just right for many memories and good times. During the cold season, a warm easy-to-use fireplace that turns on with the flip of a switch keeps the house cozy and inviting. During the warm season, the large windows bring in the breeze off the water.
