Great for families. Offered lots of amenities, paddle boat, kayaks, canoes, yard games, bonfire pit. My daughter gathered apples from apple tree and we made a pie. Fished off dock and lakeshore all week. My kids loved it. Quiet lake, felt private, not very busy, which was nice.
Loved our stay.
We do a girls trip every year, a different place each year. We found this property and it seemed perfect for a relaxing weekend. We went tubing down the Manistee River and enjoyed the restaurants downtown Clare. Some of the other ladies didn't read all the way through the listing, so they weren't happy with no A/C, but being by the water, it was fine. It was nice eating breakfast outside on the patio, fire in the evening. We used the paddle boat and a kayak. Didn't have to contact the property manager at all while staying. The only issue we had was ants in the kitchen and bathroom, there was spray. We kept cleaning the floor to help keep the ants down. There was a rip in the screen on the front door, we blocked it to block bugs coming in but still got air. We looked for tape, but didn't find any and forgot to buy some at the store. Overall, great stay! Would stay again if in the area again and would recommend to others! Thank you!
Overall, we had a nice, quiet relaxing time. Pictures were accurate. House was cozy. A bit outdated and beds were not comfortable, but all the basic necessities were included. Our family enjoyed the kayaks, canoe and pedal boat. Nice big area for corn hole, lawn games. We also enjoyed having bonfires at night. Good communication with the host.
