Great family getaway
Tia and Mike were easy to reach when we had questions. There are 4 bedrooms (1. queen, 2. queen with a futon, 3. single over double bunk, 4. queen bed with 2 couches in the basement) and 2 extra cots, and 4 full bathrooms, which was so nice for our extended family of 11. There were extra linens - sheets, blankets and towels. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed: dishes, glasses, pots, pans, utensils, even full ice cube trays. We really enjoyed the kayaks and the paddleboat. There's plenty of seating inside and out. It was a fun time for our whole family!

Family Trip
We were very happy with our stay. The house was clean and had plenty of space for our family. The kitchen was stocked with everything you may need and the deck outside overlooking the lake was the best part of the stay. We were out there with our morning coffee, evening dinners and visiting with family at night. It was very peaceful and quiet in the neighborhood. Although we didnt have time to use any of them, there were kayaks, pedal boat, and a fire pit available for us to use. We will have to visit again and spend more time on the lake! Thank you for the great family memories.

Check in was very easy, the communication with Tia was top notch, the kitchen was well stocked with gadgets and cookware. Beautifully tree lined road for morning walks and deck with plenty of seating for sunsets. Great layout, plenty of games and movies and a huge tv for watching Sunday football! We will revisit if in the area.

Relaxing stay!
It served our purpose well! We needed a place to stay close by the night before and the morning after my daughter’s wedding. It was a perfect retreat from the stress. Very relaxing. My only suggestion for renters is be aware and find out your TOTAL cost before you lock in because there is no refund once you pay the full cost at booking.

Great House
This house was perfect for my sister's and our daughters. There were just a few problems, but did not damper our time spent at the house. The worst problem was not having a lighter in the house for the firepit or grill. We just had one of our daughters bring one. The house was large enough and had sleeping space for all of us. Text messages to the property owner were answered in a timely manner when we were on property. Good option for larger gatherings.

Very Disappointing Property
The online listing looked great, but this was a very disappointing property. The beds and pillows were uncomfortable. The laundry machine had a warning about poor water quality and potential damage to clothes, so we couldn’t even use the laundry. The coffee pot was terrible and made a sludge. The patio was filthy and we had to clean all chairs before sitting on them. The kayaks had water in them, were dirty, and essentially useless for our trip. There was a sign on the neighbor’s property that they were watching the house. The house had almost none of the basics that we come to expect with VRBO properties, such as basic cooking materials, tin foil, paper towels, travel shampoos, etc. The owner needs to do some serious investment in this property in the little things.

The house was just what we needed for my sisters and my families to stay together while we were in town. We appreciated having lots of seating and also the small details that made it an easy stay—especially fans in the bedrooms. Owners were great! Communication was excellent. Would stay here again!!

Great Thanksgiving Getaway
The house was great for our group of 9 (4 adults and 5 kids under 12). There was plenty of room to spread out but still be together for the holidays. The property was clean and the hosts were very attentive. Also, it is tucked away in a nice quiet neighborhood but very close to everything! We were able to got to the mall, iFly in Novi, and the Henry Ford Museum.

Perfect Home For a Group Gathering
This is our second stay at this lovely home. Several family members and friends were gathering and having 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms was just fabulous!!! The kitchen , dining, living areas are all open with sliders to the large deck. It is a bright and comfortable space. The fire pit area is large and accommodates several people. The hosts are very responsive and helpful. We will definitely return on our next trip to the area if available. Thumbs up!!

Great family getaway!
We had a wonderful time staying at Mike and Tia’s property. The accommodations were exactly as described and we would highly recommend renting the pontoon boat as it makes the lake experience even better! We ended up having a storm and power outage and they were immediately available to provide various solutions so it did not impact our trip too much. We look forward to staying at one of Mike and Tia’s properties in the future!

Lovely Home!!
I needed a home for a very sad occasion, however, this was such a comforting place to stay and my family (even the furry ones) felt welcome and extremely comfortable. The open layout was great for a group of folks with lots of stools and large dining table. The kitchen had many amenities, the beds comfortable and the living area was open and inviting. We were able to enjoy the fire pit around raindrops. It was great to have 4 bedrooms and an unheard of 4 bathrooms!! Thank you Mike and Tia for having us and for being so easy to work with. Would definitely stay here again.

My first impression of this property was Lovely and Peaceful! the kitchen is very large and the table is big enough for all 12 of us. There were enough glasses, cups, dishes, and silverware and pots and pans. The living room also was large with comfy love seats, sofa and chairs. This room was big enough to play games, we brought board games and card games there is also a large supply at the property. We had great fun! We had coffee and breakfast outside on the deck. The view outside the deck in the back - BEAUTIFUL!! A lovely lake with geese, ducks, and a swan. We had a campfire out in the fire-pit and we had yummy s'mores! The bedrooms were all nicely decorated and the linens and towels were very clean. There were even extra sheets and towels if needed. This house was so well stocked. We had a wonderful time reconnecting with our family. The owners are very helpful answering questions. I highly recommend this house. it was wonderful!!!
