New Years get away
We had a great weekend with our family and friends. The game room was great for those that stayed up later after the kids went to bed and the kitchen had plenty of room for us to cook and feed our 3 families during our stay. There were lots of bed options to accommodate the adults and kids as well. The location is great for snowmobiling, however the weather did not cooperate this time. Would definitely look at booking this location again.

We’ve stayed at this property a few different times, and have always had a great experience. Rita is quick to respond to any questions. It’s a great place if you have a large family or dogs staying with you. Plenty of room. Very cozy, comfortable, and clean.

Annual Summer Vacation to Starvation Lake
We all had a great time. 12 Adults on this vacation and plenty of room for us to gather and have an awesome time. Nice location convenient for day trips. Rita was easy to get ahold of if needed. Plenty of parking spaces, easily walk out from house to sandy beach to clear water. Nice dock for your boat. Good trout fishing lake if you’re up for night fishing. We’ll be back for sure.

It is so quiet and peaceful there. The home was very clean and everything you needed for your stay was available except for your food. The bathrooms were a little small if you're an XL or larger person but it worked out okay. The owner responded quickly to any questions we had and provided anything we needed. The country store just down the street is stocked with about all you need and the bar and grill next door has great food and wonderful staff.

Great place to stay!
We have stayed at this home before and love the convenience of getting to the snowmobile trails! While the Michigan weather was not in our favor this year we stilled had a great time with friends. The house is well maintained and has all of the amenities you need. Plenty of room and the bonus game room is great for the kids to hang out.

Great spot on Quiet Lake
I really enjoyed the stay here. Everything was great and Rita was a great communicator. Close to the beach and a nice peaceful lake! My only complaint was that the property was listed as air conditioned. This is a major factor for my elderly dad as he cannot go on the sand or in the water with his cane. As a result the air conditioning is a must. Luckily we had cooler summer days and some rain so the fans worked well. I would say to make the listing more true, it isn't fully air conditioned from one bedroom upstairs being the only room. One of two things would make sense to me: 1) update the listing to be no air conditioning and the bedroom upstairs will be a bonus discovery. 2) invest in 1 to 3 window units downstairs. Maybe just rhe bedrooms? Other than that, we loved our stay!

Great place on the lake!
The location is spot on! Right off the lake with a great sandy beach for the kids to play. Renting the pontoon for a day was always great to get out on the lake. The house was kept up nice and the extra play room with the pool table was fun. The beds are old and weren't the best to sleep on but overall we had a great time!

Great house, great lake, relaxing time!
We rented this home for our family and it was perfect. Easy to find, tons of parking, pretty nice beach, and a nice lake. Enough rooms and beds for a rotation of family coming and going throughout the week. The extra game room was great space for a game of pool, reading, chatting, or puzzles! Two BQQs, a gas and a charcoal grill was a nice surprise. Beach was nice and water was shallow enough for our littles to play with their life jackets on. The lake wasn't too busy and we liked the quiet/no wake hours. Gave one of our family members a chance to swim across the lake easily. We rented the pontoon also and it was perfect! Clean and big! Rita was wonderful to work with and easy to get a hold of. Very glad we rented this home! Can't wait for next year!
