This was a great place to stay! Owner was very sweet. When a previous renter left some issues Stacy contacted me right away letting me know what was happening, what she was doing about and offered some different solutions. She was accommodating with our large group and various combinations of people each night. Highly recommend this place for a peaceful, relaxing getaway or a more fast paced adventure!
The communication with the property manager was impeccable. She was able to help check out late. The home is perfect for a large family. Hot tub definitely nice to sit and relax in. With the fall color it was so pretty. Plenty of deck space to smoke a cigar and relax. Dont hesitiate!
This house is a true gem that cannot be missed. The property is far more spacious than it appears and can comfortably house at least twenty people (we had thirteen in our party but could easily have fit more). There are plenty of games available and outdoor activities around the site, making our stay in an otherwise remote location pleasant and fun every day and night. The property managers are exceptionally kind and very responsive, making our holistic experience of the property truly worthwhile. Stay (our host) was gracious enough to suggest day trip options that our group enjoyed, and we appreciated her willingness to answer any questions we had via text or on the phone. This cabin is a steal given all the amenities afforded, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. We expect this property to be booked consistently given its appeal, but if you see it available, take it.
My husband and I recently got married at this property. We had a small ceremony in the morning and BBQ in the evening with our closest family and friends from Grand Rapids and Detroit.
My husband and I, as well as our guests thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The house was large but still had a very cozy/cabin feel. It's a beautiful home with more than enough activities to do for adults and children. If you want to relax, this is the place for you too! It was nice to sit on the deck with a hot cup of coffee and enjoy listening to the birds and water.
We had a rental company from Reed City deliver additional tables and chairs which we set up on the deck. Guests mingled on the deck and then all transferred to the living room or bonfire to warm up at night.
We purchased food and everything we needed prior to arriving. However, we ended up having to purchase some additional items. We were happy to find out that their was a convenience store 8 minutes away!
Would we stay here again and do it all over? Absolutely! The team that manages this property were fantastic - extremely helpful and communicated well. The whole atmosphere was quiet and serene and we couldn't have chosen a better place to tie the knot!
Thank you, Lillipad Lodge!
We were looking for a great location to stay overnight with a group of 18 high school kids the night before a big tournament. We were looking to do some team building activities and have some fun together after a long two weeks of tryouts. This place was absolutely perfect to create a memorable experience that helped us come together as a team. The pool table, the gaming console, the kayaks/canoe, the huge kitchen table, the huge couches in the living room, the giant back deck overlooking the lake - it was an amazing place for fun and relaxation. I highly recommend this house if you have a large group looking to spend quality time together.
Beautiful lake house. Unfortunately the weather was a bit too cold for fishing. Hope to try again during warmer weather. The property manager was very helpful and responsive.
My friends and I came here for my birthday. The vision was cabin getaway up north and that it was! This place was a dream for us, so big and yet so cozy! Stacy was an amazing host and replied quickly and with kindness. We hope to stay here again bc it was simply magical! Also loved that it was 4/20 friendly!
First and foremost the place is awesome and the owner is a really cool and caring guy. He was readily available to assist with some technical issues and did what he could without hesitation to make the stay a great one.
Property was great. The description is thorough but really doesn’t do the place justice. It over delivers on that side. Great option if wanting a getaway out in the sticks. Not much for nightlife and the locals will remind you of that lol. Neighbors were odd. Not all that outgoing(lot of stares and not so many reciprocated hellos). Property manager will warn you of a sheriff nearby and quiet hours starting at 9. Not sure what that was about but we were respectful. If you want to party till the break of dawn with the windows open or have some rowdy friends, you might want to save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.
The house was vey clean and well maintained and many necessities were available, like soap, paper towels, linens , etc. There was plenty of room for 14 of us ranging from grandparents to teenagers to an infant, with plenty of beds and bathrooms.
Communication with Stachia, the property manager was good; she was very responsive and tried to resolve a few issues that came up. The lake is small but very quiet during the week and the fishing was wonderful off the dock and from a boat. We would choose this home again!
Very clean, nice appliances and a beautiful view of lake. Enjoyed the fishing from the dock. Plenty of room for 7 adults, 6 kids, and 2 dogs.
Very quiet on the lake the week we were there. Not really a swimming lake for kids, but compensated with other activities and fishing.
Oh how I wish we could relive our stay here! Our group was large (Grandma treated all the kids and grandkids to an awesome long weekend) and there was plenty of room for the whole gang! There were more than enough places to lounge and relax both indoors and out, and plenty of sleeping accommodations at night when we needed to rest up for the
next day's adventures.
There was something for everyone, young and old, whether we were buzzing around on the jet ski, or relaxing on a pontoon cruise or a paddle around on the kayaks. Todd Lake may be small, but traffic was minimal, so it worked out great. We enjoyed big family meals around the table, various fun and games, and soothing soaks in the hot tub. Most importantly, both the property manager and caretaker were available at a moment's notice to answer any questions.
We only had a couple tiny criticism/suggestions: though the kitchen was large and well stocked, a dishwasher would be great! And there wasn't a drop of gas in either the boat or wave runner. Usually, when you rent a pontoon., it's filled up when you arrive. But other than a couple burned out light bulbs, we have no complaints! Loved it!! And would highly recommend it to a big family looking for a great #puremichigan getaway!
Thanks so much!
My favorite part about this property is how peaceful it feels as it over looks Todd Lake. A small lake yet beautiful and calm. A great location to kayak and canoe- which we did a lot of! Or simply soak up the view from the deck as you enjoy your morning cup of coffee.
If you like to fish or you have kids who love to fish it doesn’t get any better than this! Our kids fished their hearts out from sun up to sun down. (Fishing tip: we discovered the fish in Todd Lake prefer worms).
Aside from the lake the house itself was very clean! It was plenty big enough to comfortably accommodate our three families and it had all the amenities one can think of.
The host, Stacy, is not only a fabulous host, but she has thought of everything and it shows. My favorite part about my entire experience was working with Stacy. During our stay we hosted my dads memorial and Stacy was so helpful and gracious from the beginning booking stages to the very end of our stay. I really can’t recommend this property enough. Rather you are looking to spend time with family or host a small event this is the spot to do it!!
