3 Bed, 1 Bath home with shared pontoon, 2 seat kayak and lake access nearby.

Lake view three bedroom one bath home with up north décor. The Jose Lake access boat ramp only a few hundred yards away. Home sits on two large lots, has an outdoor firepit and large deck. Rental includes nearby 16' pontoon boat on Jose Lake, it's far from a new pontoon but she does float and can be a lot of fun swimming, fishing or just touring around the lake. (Pontoon access is on odd numbered days of the month, our other home rental ("Grin And Bear It" on VRBO) has even numbered days. The boat is a EXTRA addition BONUS PERK to the house. Nice pontoon boats are available to rent at a local place for $250 a day at Rollways resort.

Master bedroom with queen size memory foam mattress, a smart TV and beautiful view of Huron National Forest.
Bedroom #2 is air conditioned and has queen size memory foam mattress and an antique theme.
Bedroom #3 has twin bunk beds and a Monster Truck theme that kids will love.

Game Cabin
Game themed cabin off Jose Lake. Clean and welcoming with seven beds to choose from. We loved exploring the area, but decided Jose Lake was more for fishing than swimming. Maybe we just never found the right beach? Games were fun and it’s close enough to Iargo Springs and Lumberman’s Monument to make visiting easy. Also, not a very far run to Tawas! Host was great, house was great, will stay here again if we’re able! Thanks again! Don and Heather Hart

The house was fantastic! The whole family had an amazing time there in Michigan! The whole area is in the middle of the woods and it was quiet and peaceful.

Pleasant Escape
We had a wonderful time in this clean and comfortable home. We were looking for somewhere where we could have some down time, and this was a great option. There were several games and an air hockey table, so that was really fun for our family, and we made a couple quick day trips to Lumberman's Monument (we loved the "Sand Hill") and Iargo Springs. Since we were just looking for a small swim spot where our kids could take a quick dip and play in the sand, nearby Chain Lake was a nice choice (it was a 7 minute drive). Obviously, the charm for this area is that it is not a giant tourist trap with a lot of flashy stuff - Tawas is close by and there are options for things like antique shops and small restaurants nearby and there are large grocery stores etc within 20 minutes if you need something. It was a nice place to stay and get away from everything for a little while.

Slight disappointed, not all the owners fault.
Beautiful area, listing was vague considering what was actually there.. The pontoon isn’t much to look at and the kayaks were full of nasty bugs my girls wouldn’t even touch them. The lake wasn’t in the best shape and we had to go to the complete other side to swim, so we chose to drive to Tawas for their beaches. I get being up north, there’s bugs, however, the mosquitos were so bad it was difficult to even be outside during the day WITH bug spray, let alone at night for a fire. Then speaking of night time, we always go on vacation with our dog and I appreciate homes that allow us to bring him, but he is little and very often timid dog, especially at night, and on 3 separate occasions during the 7days, 6 nights we were there, 3 different, clearly nearby neighbors dogs came wandering into our yard i’m the pitch darkness which totally freaked my already very anxious dog out completely. All in All, If your have a family with kids and are looking for fun activities to do with them during your stay, outside of driving 25 mins to Tawas everyday for the beach.. this probably isn’t what you’re looking for. I wish someone would of wrote a review like this for me before our vacation..

The house is a perfect size for the 8 of us that stayed there. We had a great time! They have games onsite and an air hockey game, which the kids loved. Nice place for a family vacation!

Always a hard time to rent a place that takes dogs in the winter time, no problem here :) . Very roomy and warm and cozy place. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Will be renting again next year.
