Great house in a great location. While some of the furniture could use an update, the overall stay was very comfortable. Weâd definitely stay here again when we're back in the area.
The house was cozy and welcoming. It met all of our needs for a weekend stay as a family. We appreciated the efforts made to meet the needs of all types of guests, since we had two small children (3 and under) with us. We all enjoyed waking up with a beautiful view of Coldwater Lake.
This rental was perfect for our needs in every way. We had family members coming to this area for a Memorial service. The beautiful setting and the design of this house made it the so nice for family to gather and reminisce. The front deck and living room offers stunning views of Coldwater lake. We greatly enjoyed the back patio area too and were able to recall pleasant memories in front of a camp fire due to the large fire pit. We toured the island and were rewarded with a gorgeous sunset. This house and property could not be more accommodating for anyone from families to couples. We are already planning to rebook!
We had 6 adults and the property worked out very well for us. We enjoyed golfing on the island, boating jn the lake, miniature golf nearby and some good restaurants in the area.
We had a wonderful time! House was well-appointed and very clean. Beds were SO comfortable!
Only potential issue is the living space was up a full flight of stairs. Our group was ages 68-80 and even though we are all mobile and in good health, we couldnât help notice there didnât seem to be any mention of this in the property description. Could be a problem for less mobile folks.
We had a great time during our stay. It was a great location for us and the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The owners were easy to communicate with ahead of time when we had questions. A few more hangers and places to unpack clothing would be helpful, but overall things were great. Beds were comfortable and all of us slept well!
This home was the perfect spot to spend some quality family time together which was much overdue! Lots of space with the layout of the beds and bedrooms and lots of room to share family meals as well as play cards and games and have a constant puzzle going on that we worked on all weekend as well! Excellent communication which was so appreciated - couple of issues leading up to the vacation and on check in were handled immediately and couldn't have asked for more gracious hosts - just tremendous communication all around. Enjoyed the outdoor area as well as the proximity to a fun golf course and the golf cart and paddle boards were a hit with the whole family! Would definitely recommend to others!
Very nice property in a great location. We enjoyed biking around the island and taking golf cart rides. The listing says beach access for swimming but there is no beach access. That is the only reason I am not giving 5 stars for the property. It was nice to have all the things needed for a toddler in the house - baby gate, high chair, outdoor toys, etc.
The house was very comfortable. I enjoyed the evenings on the front deck watching the lake.
The neighborhood is fantastic and the neighbors were all friendly as I would walk around the island each evening.
This property is great, it has great space, things for the little ones to do, yard games, and a great location to the lake and golf course. The stay would be even better once the details are worked out to have better access to the lake. The use of the pier would be amazing and the ability to use the little beach area would be nice. However, our family rented a pontoon to access the sand bar, which was amazing! This house has a foam "lily pad" that we took with us on the pontoon and the kids loved it at the sandbar. Overall, this was a great experience and the property owners are great to communicate with and are quick to respond to any questions!
Place was as described. Clean, inviting house. Host was easy to deal with and got back with us quickly about a slight issue that occurred!! I would highly recommend staying here. Only downside is across the road from the lake but beautiful view!!
We absolutely loved everything about our stay on Iyopawa Island. Lived in Michigan all my life, never been to Coldwater or heard of Iyopawa. EVERY home on this island was pristine, beautiful and well cared for. Family friendly and very quiet as noted. Can't tell you how many times we walked, ran and golf carted around the island. Saw something different every time. Golf course was perfect course, plenty of tee times, fast greens and well kept. We rented pontoon from Coldwater Lake Marina. Great day on the quite shallow lake, perfect for the little ones to play in the water. The home was perfect for our family both inside and out. Besides my hubby and I we had our three daughters with their spouses and 2 little grandchildren. Plenty of bed spaces and a whole other living area under the main floor that made a great play area for the kids...so cozy. Perfect accommodations and quick responses to my questions. We made many, many family memories and made full use of the wood deck and fire pit.
We had a great weekend. We enjoyed this beautiful home. Relaxed in the backyard, hung out at the beach and enjoyed all the comforts of home without being home. Took walks around the island and rides on the golf cart. So enjoyable!!!!
We loved the house. We had two families of 4 and it worked great. Location was perfect. Response and communication was wonderful from our hosts. We would absolutely go again. Great selection of toys and stuff for small children if needed too!
We had a great stay. The house was as pictured and comfortably held two families for the weekend. We really enjoyed the location, and will definitely come back again.
We were very pleased with our 4 night weekend. Only improvements we suggest involve lack of soap/shampoo, old frying pan and the front balcony only holding 4 people. Perhaps we should have known about the soap and shampoo situation but ? The balcony could easily be strengthened with joist straps, joist blocking and pilar arms. We are into building construction. We hope to return next year as kids loved the beach! Regards, Ed
We loved this vay-cay home for many reasons: the kitchen was usefully stocked; plenty of beach toys included to enjoy days at the association private beach area; usage of the golf cart was an added plus; tastefully decorated home, and comfortable sleeping too. I rate them 5+
We really enjoyed our stay. We werenât able to utilize the lake due to graduation activities. The place was cozy and beds were comfortable. Questions we had, were answered in a timely manner. Hope to stay again.
