We had a very pleasant stay. The home has a nice layout, and plenty of space. They allow pets so we were able to bring our two small dogs, which is always a plus.
The house was very nicely updated with nice appliances and a coffee maker and dishwasher. It was a nice place for us with 4 adults and two small children. We enjoyed the swings on the deck and the fire place and hot tub too. The deck boards were a little rough but nothing too bad to stop us from using it daily. One comment I would like to make is that there wasnât any mention of steps to walk down to get to the house. It was a bit steep and I feel an older person or someone with a disability might have trouble walking down the stairs. We used the grass on the side of the garage to walk up and down. We loved watching the boats go by and it was a very peaceful and relaxing week! Thank you
My family of four stayed here for a week in August. This was our first time renting on Pine lake and we enjoyed our stay very much. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. I absolutely loved the back deck area with the swinging chairs, hot tub, and fire table. We used all three while we were there. I could see how this would be a cozy place to be in the winter as well. We also use the Blackstone grill, which was really convenient. We rented their pontoon and really enjoyed fishing with the boat. We used the kayaks a lot as well. Owners responded to communication quickly. we had one issue while we were staying here, but owners responded immediately and issue was addressed. Would definitely stay here again in the future!
Check in was a breeze. House needed a deep clean. bunk house has a smell that is obviously trying to be covered up. Cant lock the bunk house because there is no working lock on door. Had to leave doors unlocked in case kids needed to come in house. No working tv in bunkhouse. House had dirty linens in washing machine upon arival. Everything got wiped down because it was dirty. Dirt in kitchen drawers. Food still on the silverware. Food wedged in couch. Cheap 10 dollar trash can that was broke did not match layout. Pee stains on carpet in rooms. Bed needs replaced. Mattess had a rut/ indentation on the side i slept on. Outside fireplace worked but had to move the glass chunks in order to open flap to start. Hot tub lid was busted and scraped my daughters leg up. The swing fell with my other daughter in it one night. Sore back next day. Peir was busted up so had to be careful not to fall thru Beach was over grown with weeds. Picked the weeds myself to get a sendy area for kids. Kayack were dirty and needed cleaned up. Had straps broke on em. Rented boat wich was filthy. Had to be swapped out due to motor issues. Permanent neighbors on one side were ok but let barking dog out at 5 am a few times. Other side had actual owners there too for the week. They had 3 dogs and never put em on leashes. They would constantly bark and came over a few times. Overall had a good time under circumstances. Price of stay did not match what i was expecting. Very disappointed
My family and I just returned home from our 4th year staying at the Pine Lake Retreat! Just a few of the reasons I would like to highlight that keep us coming back.....We enjoy that the property is lakefront with all the amenities we need. Our kids love to play down at the waters edge where there is a sandy beach. It's also nice that the property is located within walking distance to the Pine Lake Grocery Store and the Pine Lake Marina. The property owners are incredibly responsive, accommodating and are dedicated to ensuring their guests have a fantastic stay. Any questions we've had or minor requests have always been addressed promptly. The property has always been thoroughly cleaned upon arrival and is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We cannot recommend this lake house highly enough. If you're looking for a clean, perfectly located, and wonderfully managed lakefront rental, look no further. We're already counting down the days until our next summer visit!
We loved Pine Lake, property owners have a boat available to rent which they conveniently deliver right to the dock. The property was cute but a tad inconvenient for groups over 3-4.4 stars because itâs pricey, we couldnât get the backyard fire pit to work even when using the printed instructions, the shower faucet and deck could use refreshing. Thereâs one bathroom, and there is a room separate from the house with bunk beds, this room wasnât great overall. The air fresheners made everything that was in that room smell (not bad, just strong). Overall, cute place, we loved the hammock chairs and they the best hot tub, very comfortable.
Loved staying here - not suitable for mobility impaired
We really enjoyed staying here. Great view of the lake with kayaks and pontoon available for rent, nice deck with Blackstone grill, large fire table, hot tub, and plenty of seating. Bed and sectional were very comfortable; recliner section was catching, which we reported. House is nicely decorated, and we enjoyed the fireplace. We had no mosquitoes. Owner was quick to assist with questions. Overall, we had a very nice stay! Two potential changes i would recommend are redoing the staircase to get down to the house or incorporating a ramp and considering a generator to cover power outages. We lost power for about 36 hours due to tornado in Martin - obviously not a predictable issue, and we went to a hotel for a night so my husband could use his cpap to sleep. A generator would have spared us having to find a hotel. Even so, if our minor mobility issues don't get worse, I will likely look to book some time here next summer.
We stayed here as a home base for our mom trip away. It was quiet and relaxing. We spent our two days traveling between saugatuck, south haven, and plainwell and then came back to the lake house to relax. The hot tub was in a perfect location that felt private, but we could still enjoy watching wild life. The kitchen was fully stocked with both cooking essentials and some spices. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We would stay here again without hesitation.
This was the perfect place for a weekend getaway during spring break. Everything is very clean, recently remodeled, well furnished, and the beds and sectional are super comfortable. Location is close to Plainwell and close to nature. Great place for our family with teens to relax.
Wasnât in the house much- just stayed here while skiing at bittersweet. But description of the property is right on and communication was fast. Only issue is the bunk room doesnât get very warm in the middle of winter.
Every time I come to Michigan I will stay here. It was late when I arrived so I had no idea the house was behind the garage. But it looks exactly how the listing but the view is EVERYTHING!!
My family loved our stay at Pine Lake during the Winter Break! The hot tub was especially perfect during the chilly weather. The location is great and easy to find. We canât wait to return in warmer weather.
Just had the best weekend at this place!! And definately will be back in the summer to rent the pontoon and stay again. Lake is fairly clear. The following were some of the complaints in the reviews. Read the details in the book before attempting to turn both fireplaces on. I didnât need to call the owners. The dog and cat next door were friendly. The dog would only bark a few times then stopped. The hot tub was amazing, again follow the simple directions. Yes, there is well water so bring a couple jugs of water. I canât wait to go back!! So quiet!
