Perfect blend of access to both lake and shopping. This was the most well appointed and equipped VRBO I've ever stayed at. It was like coming home to Mom's house where everything you needed was right where you expected it, and it was all planned for your comfortable stay. Super clean, and just a lovely place inside and out.

The house was just right for our family Christmas! Thankful that our host had decorated for the holidays, making it feel more like being at home. Very well appointed kitchen. Fun to sit by one of the many windows and watch kids skating on the frozen lake, and wonder if the people ice fishing were having any luck.Loved all the special vintage touches throught the house.

We were looking for a place to spend some time near our family in Michigan during the holidays. The cottage was a great fit and in a great location. It had everything we needed and more. Much more pleasant than staying in multiple rooms at a hotel

Cozy lake house close to Ann Arbor

We stayed here for my niece’s graduation. We had fun exploring Howell, Ann Arbor and Northville. The deck has a lovely view of the lake and it is a great place to kick back. The kitchen is well appointed but there are plenty of good restaurants nearby.

Pretty Lake Front Stay

Pretty property overlooking a smallish lake. Nice backyard. We very much appreciated the back yard and neighborhood for walking our dog. And although he is not a water dog, he enjoyed being out back and watching the "goings on" at the lake: the fishing, the ducks, etc. The property was very comfortable for our 4 day stay.
