Lots of amenities & well stocked
A very clean and well stocked house on a nice lake! We had a wonderful stay- there's lots of room in the house, a spacious yard front & back, sandy beach, paddle boards, kayaks & a rowboat. The house had everything we needed to cook a few meals and the house is in a great location- Gaylord is close by with grocery stores and restaurants and there's lots of golf courses close by. We really enjoyed our stay!

A great getaway on Heart Lake!
My family, and I loved the week we spent at Gail's place on Heart Lake. The house itself is great, very comfortable for all of us. Every amenity you might need was taken care of, and everything was exceptionally clean and tidy. Outside we enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake, and the beach. When the weather cooperated we swam, and paddle boarded (or attempted to... More falling then actual paddling haha). Overall we totally recommend staying here. The house is great, the lake is great, and Gail was awesome to work with. Hopefully we'll be back!

Great vacation
This was the finest vrbo property we have ever rented. It is spacious, well appointed, and has a beautiful view of Heart Lake. The waterfront is perfect for all activities. The hosts could not have been nicer and answered our every question and need. In fact, my family is already pressuring me to rent this property for next summer.

Great little lake that have the fish literally jumping at night. Great sandy beach. Great little bike ride around the lake or upt the street to the snowmobiling trails for some icecream. Great location for day trips. Clean and comfortable for our family of 7.

Lake house
Perfect house to spend time with the family. Clean, comfortable and happy. We enjoyed the lake, the kayaks and the paddle boards that were there to use. The kitchen table fit all 10 of us comfortably. The lake was clean and beautiful. Birds, fish, loons and ducks kept us company. The kitchen was clean and the stove and appliances were top notch. I just am in love with this house and property. This is the first house I would definitely rent again. We do a family vacation every year and out of all of them this was the best. Anyone who rents this house will not regret it. Thank you for sharing your house!!

Aunts and Nieces Weekend
We had a wonderful time at Pat and Gail's place. It was a quiet, beautiful setting with ample gathering space outside on the deck and inside. We cooked together and had all the appliances and utensils we needed, we played games in the spacious living room and sat around the deck drinking coffee and catching up. It was perfect and a central location for those of us who traveled from Grand Rapids, Detroit and the UP. We will be back:)

A truly loved vacation home
Firstly, this place was immaculately clean. The antique furniture, embroidered wall hangings, old family photos and stained glass window on the door are just a few of the great details that make this place feel like you are spending the weekend at granny and grandpa's lake house. There are quality, well done updates that do not take away from lived in charm of this home. Almost every window had a great view and blinds which isn't something you think about until you don't have them. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, cooking items and dishes. There is plenty of space to spread out in and lots of sleeping areas. The host, Gail, was awesome and more than accomodating. Heart Lake is beautiful. It is surrounded by houses, but there are a lot of trees so it feels private and natural. We came here for an ice fishing weekend but even though we didn't have any luck, it was still a great time. We would love to come here again.

Wonderful Lake Views!
Thank you for a wonderful home away from home! All the extra small things made it a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Everything was in good working order and the reclining furniture and fireplace were the best! Even though it was cold and rainy, the lake view (especially with the fall trees!) was amazing! We also saw a pair of bald eagles and other birds close by. The location was good and we enjoyed a couple of excellent meals and shopping in the area as well. We’ll be back for sure!

Lovely Cottage, Lovely Lake!
Our family had so much fun swimming and paddle boarding. There is very little traffic (most of the time no traffic) on the lake. We brought our boat and enjoyed skiing and tubing. The cottage is very clean and has so much room to spread out. At night we enjoyed bonfires or getting cozy on the big couch and lazy boy style chairs to watch Netflix and enjoy the lake view. We will definitely keep this place on the list of places to revisit!

Had a great time
The property was large with more than enough room for our family of four. Couldn't be happier with how everything went. It was great to go out and experience Up North and then come back to the tranquil Heart Lake. Honestly could have spent the entire day at the house, playing in the water and relax. This property exceeded expectations and will come back.

Stayed at few rentals over the years. And this place ranks at the top of my list. Great beach access for kids. Even though it was a golf get away with friends. I Leila be coming back with the kids for a summer stay. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.
