Chris T. Jun 22, 2024 01:02:02 AM
Summary: We had the best week. The home was perfect for our family of 12. Plenty of room for all of us. There was always something to do, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and when it rained one day lots to do inside, games, ping pong, air hockey, and more. We were even close enough to go into Manistee so the grandkids could swim in Lake Michigan. The home is easy to get to with great parking. All of the kids and grandkids give The Lake House 5-star excellent review. Nobody wanted to leave
John H. Jun 12, 2024 10:03:48 PM
Summary: House was perfect for a large group (6 adults and 5 kids under 10yo). House facilities and available lake/swimming equipment was amazing. Wonderful quiet lake and great fishing! Meijer 10m away. Just a wonderful way to spend a week getting away from the world with family.
Rose Ann A. Jun 5, 2024 03:24:09 AM
Summary: We had a wonderful stay at this lake house! The property had everything we needed for our large family of 14, including kids. The house was spacious, well-equipped, and the lake views were stunning. Our host was incredibly attentive and responsive. We encountered a minor issue with a bathroom shower leak, and they addressed it promptly, ensuring our stay was comfortable and stress-free. The house had all the amenities to keep everyone entertained, from the well-stocked kitchen to the ample outdoor water recreation gear. We truly felt at home. Highly recommended!

Summary: This property was perfect. Probably our best vrbo ever. Clean, nice, easy-to-understand information for televisions and fireplace. We skied Crystal two days and hung out at the house one day. We also hiked Acadia one day. Perfection!

Summary: Nicest house on the lake by a mile. Best beach, water was great. Well stocked pantry.
mary l. Aug 21, 2023 11:01:24 AM
Summary: Each year our family of thirteen including six grandchildren gathers for a week somewhere to make shared memories. This has been our favorite rental so far. There was ample room to be together for meals and activities and also room to independently savor the quiet beauty of Chief Lake. The available kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, paddle boat, life jackets and fishing poles combined with the quiet lake provided opportunities for everyone to safely have lots of fun during the day with evenings around the comfortable fire pit enjoyed too. We also appreciated its proximity to Sleeping Bear Dunes for hiking and Portage Lake for tubing. We hope to make many more happy memories there again in the future.
Heather B. Aug 3, 2023 08:53:26 AM
Summary: Fabulous time with family- adults and kids! The house was beautiful, spacious, large bedrooms, and had all of the amenities you could need. Including for the lake - paddle boards, kayaks, canoe, etc. Fishing was great, everyone caught something. The downstairs has all the fun games from ping pong to air hockey, and arcade games, a teen heaven! Lake is big enough to tube and jet ski, but not a big lake. Close enough drive for short trips to Mainistee, or Arcadia, slightly longer to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Glen Arbor. Lots to do!!
Elaine C. Aug 1, 2023 11:00:12 AM
Summary: We had a better time than we imagined. 9 adults and 4 children (8,7,5,3) had a great time at the lake since this house had kayaks, canoes, paddle boards plus 23 life jackets of all sizes. On a rainy day, we found board games, puzzles, lady pacman, foosball, ping pong, air hockey and video games! and of course TV and wifi for the quiet moments. We found everything we needed in the kitchen plus a closet of different spices, they even have a blender. The housekeeping group is fabulous and it was very clean and well stocked with towels for inside and out. Can't say enough about how great this house is and the host responds almost immediately if needed.
Jul 11, 2023 11:02:11 AM
Summary: Perfect in every way. The indoor and outdoor spaces were everything we needed. Both were equipped with the bestβ€”great sleeping areas, wonderful kitchen with all amenities, great outdoor seating and beach. The beach, the adult and kid kayaks and paddle boards, life jackets, and fishing poles kept all of us happy. We had a great time. (Thanks for the eagles that sat across the lake! You even had binoculars for us to watch them.)

Summary: House is clean and pretty big which was perfect.
