Spacious
Great location, beautiful beach. Small issue with heating, which was promptly taken care of and heat was turned in the same evening. Great parking and lots of room inside the property as well.

Peaceful with a great view!
My husband and I wanted to take his 79 year old mother away for a peaceful weekend. This home was beautiful and the view was amazing! Everything was great with the exception of their being too many stairs for a senior citizen. Additionally, there was not a fully stocked coffee bar, which most rentals have. Because we arrived late, we were unable to enjoy a cup of coffee the first morning there. My husband and I would definitely stay again when we are back in Michigan.

Amazing house
The house was absolutely amazing and better than the pictures! The sunrise is amazing from the balcony. We enjoyed grilling, the lake and kayaking, and the big spaces to spread out. We’d love to come again!

Great place
We were only here 3 nights, but we thoroughly enjoyed it! Our only regret was that we were not able to take advantage of the watercraft due to the time of year. Should be we find ourselves down this way again, we will look this place up first. One important thing I want to highlight - I have had a terrible back basically since I was 12 years old. The bed upstairs was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on, other than my own!

70th Birthday and Family Weekend
We spent a very wonderful long weekend at this property with our family, celebrating a 70th birthday. Pros: home was ready early and clean! Property mgmt responded quickly when we had questions. Ample room for our group of 12 who stayed and the additional people who came for the party 2 fridges were a plus. Great views of the lake. Weather was chilly but the deck warmed up nicely for those who wanted to get outside. Kitchen appliances were nice and extra stove in basement was great for all the cooking. Cons: kitchen wasn’t supplied well with lots of gadgets but we always travel prepared. Basement was very cold, but we used a bedroom space heater we found. There looks like a wall space heater in the basement (kerosene?) but there were not instructions - although to be fair we did not ask about it. The cons would not keep us from coming back!! Rockford was a fun side trip and the Honey Creek Inn is a MUST! Good food and very nice staff. Be sure to visit the Rockford cheese shop!

Overall, it is a nice property. Main issues where that the doors do not lock downstairs, had multiple breakers trip throughout the house, propane grill has a leak when attached to a full tank, & the indoor fireplace wouldn’t light. Still enjoyed our stay.

A Perfect Family Place
We rented the house on Big Crooked Lake for an extended family weekend and everything about it was wonderful. The house is well equipped - from the kitchen to the indoor and outdoor equipment and games. The family spent a couple of days on the lake in the pontoon boat and even ate dinner and watched a sunset from the boat one evening. We also enjoyed campfires on several evenings by the lake. I would recommend this place without hesitation and am considering coming back again next year.
