Beautiful house in a great location. The layout of the house was perfect for our group of 8 friends. We didn't have time to enjoy the activities available, but there was plenty to do at the house and the Floradale ComplexThere were a couple of issues that I gave feedback to the owner after our stay. He planned to make changes on those.I would absolutely rent this property again!

Nice quiet location

The overall property was very nice. It is a wooded lot which provided for great shade when the kids were outside playing. Nice layout of the house for three individual families. Large living room space for everyone to gather. If there was one thing that needs improvement, is the floors were not very clean. When the babies were crawling, they had black knees and feet..

Family vacation - Grandma with 2 daugters and their families.

5 adults; 4 children aged 12 - 6. Love the area with lots of activities. Happy to enjoy the in-ground pool at the community center. Home is spacious and great that the upstairs bedroom was fun for children to have their own space with tv access. Wish some amenities were in better condition, e.g., ping pong table; lamps in upstairs bedroom. The use of a garbage disposal and a faucet hose would make clean-up easier. Overall, we had an amazing time at this home. Thank you.

Great Trip

My girlfriends and I chose this location to get together with all of our children (12 total). The kids ranged in ages from 6-16. We had a great week and the house was perfect for our group. The kids loved sleeping in the bunk room and the hot tub was a nice treat. The big table was perfect for meals and our nightly bingo. We spent lots of time exploring the area and late afternoons at the pool.

August 5-12 family vacation

Our stay here was awesome! My husband and I reserved this house for ourselves, our grown children and their families. The house is huge and I loved that we could all gather in one room, and we could all fit at the dinning table together. Things we loved, the amenities in the house, hot tub, sauna and campfires, pool and tennis courts. Location couldn't be better. So many things to do within minutes. Loved the beach by the lighthouse and Silver Lake. Highly recommend Mac Dune Ride. We had several ping pong tournaments! Great time. Mark and Nick were prompt and very helpful with all our needs. We will be back!

Plenty of space for a big group!

We enjoyed our time in this spacious house. The pool, shuffleboard courts, pickle ball court, tetherball are all an easy 5-10 minute walk. The beach is not a great place to swim, but the public beach just down the road is nice. We also enjoyed the beach by the lighthouse. An afternoon pontoon rental on Silver Lake was great fun, as was Mac Woods Dune ride. Our only disappointment was the furnishings are a bit shabby on the front porch and the first floor.

Silver Lake

The property met our needs of 4 families with children from 1-6. We enjoyed the pool only a few times. It is a quarter mile walk there but not difficult. We really loved the Lake Michigan Little Sable Lighthouse beach about 5 miles away. The Silver Lake beach was a bit disappointing as the water access is off a dock and it looked rocky. We did not enter the lake there. We did use the Silver Lake State park which has a small beach and kayak entrance for a fee. Love the Cherry Market and Mac Woods Dune Rides. Overall a very successful stay. Mark was very helpful when we got locked out once! My fault by using the wrong code.

This home is awesome! It has lots of indoor hang space for a big group which we really enjoyed. The jacuzzi was a plus after a day out on the dunes!
