Simple Serenity
The property, the lake and the house are simply perfect if you are looking for a quiet and beautiful place to unwind. We had a great weekend. Breanna has the house fully stocked for cooking. Every utensil we needed was available including an Insta pot for rice. Good morning by the lake and the evenings at the fire pit could not have been better. This place is a hidden jam. We definitely will be back.

Our favorite!
This is our 2nd time here, we plan on making this a yearly trip. We love this place! The Tioga Mine Pit water is SO clear and perfect for swimming. We spent most of our time hanging out on the beach and dock. The house is big and spread out and updated and decorated so nicely and it’s CLEAN! Great fire pit area too, we had a lot of quality family time to end our summer. Thanks Bree for great communication and keeping the house so nice, we will be back!

Great experience
The house had everything we needed. My teens loved having the downstairs sleeping and game area where they could stay up and sleep in late without old people interfering. The lake was beautiful and we loved how quiet it was. We were glad to have come in August, I think it might be chilly earlier in the year but it was absolutely perfect for swimming. The host was super responsive to questions.

The house was comfortable and very clean. Kitchen had everything we needed and then some. Beautiful lake view, but disappointed that there was no easy access to the lakeshore. Property management was very prompt to respond to a minor issue. Overall one of our favorite rentals in 15 plus years.

Time on the lake
The property was clean inside and out. We had to extend our stay several nights and having a fully stocked kitchen with multiple types of coffee makers made it extra comfortable. Our host was always available to answer any questions and even provided firewood for the custom fire pit outside.

Our stay was wonderful! Would love to stay here in the summer. When we stay at a VRBO as a family, we love to do our own cooking. One suggestion would be to invest in some good cookware. The frying pans are well used and no matter what we made we had trouble with sticking.

Super spacious, super clean
We had a great stay at this property. We were in the area for Nordic races at Mt Itasca, and it was wonderful to have this cozy house to come back to after spending the day outside in frigid temps. There is a lot of space to spread out (adults upstairs, teens downstairs), big soft blankets to warm up with, and all of the furniture is really comfortable. The location feels remote without being very far from Grand Rapids. It looks like a great place to be in the summer, we would love to go back. Breanna responded immediately when we had questions, and everything was super clean. Thank you!!

Nice Spot
My family and I met up here for a pre-holiday get together. Three couples and kids. It is a nice house with each couple being able to have their own space and bathroom. The kids shared the bunk bed room. The lake was beautiful, an old mine pit with crystal clear, almost blue water. We stayed early December so it was too chilly to enjoy much but in the summer I imagine kayaking around it would be spectacular. The drop off to the lake, which is mentioned in the property description is steep. It's nice there was a heads up about that. All around was a nice place to stay.

This was the perfect place to spend a weekend away from the cities. The owner was amazing to work with & very responsive. The reviews about the dropoff/the cliff just past the fire pit were accurate so we watched our 4&2yr old like hawks when outside. Overall it was a great space for a large family gathering, or moms weekend away!

What a great time we had at this wonderful house on the lake. We had our own little private beach and deck that was such a peaceful place. The home was clean and comfortable. We felt right at home.

Absolutely amazing!
My family of four stayed here for our yearly summer vacation and this was the best place we’ve ever rented, by far. The house: is beautiful and clean and has obviously been completely renovated (by someone who should be an interior designer if they aren’t)! It was much bigger than we needed, but it was nice to spread out and have our teenagers get some alone time ;). The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen is perfect with newer appliances, there are great TVs in every room, the Wi-Fi is fast, washer dryer air conditioning, this place has everything you need. Basement has Game room! The Lake: I had heard about the Tioga pit but didn’t believe it could be true about the blue clear water, but WOW it is amazing. I’m not a big fan of swimming in lakes, even though my kids are, but we swam in that lake multiple times each day and it was so refreshing and clear… you could see your toes no matter how deep you go! while fishing, I literally watched the fish take the bait! The lake is the perfect size, not a bunch of motor boats zipping around, but big enough to kayak around and so beautiful. At times it seems like our own private lake. No weeds! The eagles and loons think it’s great too! The property: Private!! Quiet!! Beautiful! Surrounded by trees except for the space that has the perfect view! We didn’t have a problem with bugs are mosquitoes (wear bugspray at twilight). Even the fire pit ring is custom made with the Tioga logo. We will be booking again.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Home had very nice interior decor and had everything we needed. House was clean and had all the amenities we needed. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The lake was incredible and we enjoyed using the beach area and paddle boards. We were looking for a place that allowed for outdoor activities and we found it. Close to great hiking and biking trails. Property owner was friendly and very responsive. We were very pleased with our visit and would like to return in the future.
