Spectacular views!

We rented this home and the neighboring property for a golf centric trip. Both homes are fantastic. The amenities are wonderful and the lake views from each home are spectacular. For what it’s worth, there are multiple golf options. We would definitely rent these properties again.

August Stay

We enjoyed our stay at this house. The property listing and pictures were accurate. The house was very clean upon arrival. The layout was perfect for our group of 9, with plenty of separate spaces for the kids to hang out. We used the boat; dock and paddle boards daily. David was a great host, showing up on the first day to talk through boating procedures. We also had a scenario where the power went out one night, and the generator turned on without issue, so we never missed a beat. Thank you for a great stay!

This is an outstanding property. We had a wonderful week. There was plenty of room to spare with a group of 8. Incredible deck and dock. This was our first time on Walloon and it was extremely peaceful and quiet with little traffic on the water. Thanks for being so hospitable, David.

Heaven, With Stairways

Property certainly lived up to its photos and description! Absolutely wonderful house on Walloon for family and/or friends. And dog. Two living rooms each with plenty of seating and a TV. Deck, waterfront and dock also have ample seating. Well appointed kitchen and grill to cater to the entire posse. Table area is a bit tight when you add the folding chairs, though there are dining tables on the deck and at the beach, so weather permitting, folks can spread out. Note stairs down to house from parking and down to waterfront and dock, for anyone with mobility challenges. Great, responsive and attentive owner. Everyone loved the property and boat!

This home is in a beautiful and quiet setting on Walloon Lake. Well furnished, new baths, lots of space for relaxation, great views from the deck and dock, many amenities, and although it seems remote, the home is quite close to Boyne City and a short, very scenic drive to Petoskey. The owner is exceptionally helpful and communicative.

What a great property! The house sits on a bluff overlooking Walloon Lake and the views you have to see to believe! The house had plenty of space and was well stocked for our Thanksgiving stay. The bathrooms have been updated and the hot tub was a big hit for the kids. The house also was very clean on arrival and well maintained. If you are looking for an authentic Northern Michigan getaway you cannot go wrong staying here!

Nice weekend retreat

There were five couples that enjoyed a weekend up north. The home had plenty of space for everyone. The bunk room was a bit inconvenient, but we made do. The kitchen is large and spacious with room for all to enjoy activities together. The views are amazing, and the steps down to the lake are a nice bonus. The walk back up will help you get your cardio in for the day! We would definitely look this place up on a future visit to the area!

Perfect Escape!

A picturesque lane carved out of a scenic wood that leads to the most well thought out vacation home ever. We were 6 adults taking a 2 night trip to check out the fall colors. The home was spacious and comfortable. More than enough bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to work in; and everything was easy to locate! There were 2 refrigerators (and that's not counting the mini fridge at the waters edge). I would love to come back in the summer and take advantage of the paddle boards and kayaks! This home is beautiful, and the owners have thought of everything.... the furniture is comfortable, the beds are comfortable and it is one of the best vrbo homes i've ever stayed in!! You will want to bring your groceries with you, because you will not want to leave for any reason until checkout time!!! thanks Dave and Laurie for the great weekend!

Beautiful Setting and well appointed

Secluded beautiful seting and deck. Main floor has two nice size sitting area with comfortable furniture. Nice, well stocked kitchen. Two nice size bedrooms on the first floor and one small funk room. Nicely remodeled bathrooms. Upstairs bedrooms not as adequate. You have to go through one to get to the other. The upstairs bathroom had terible water pressure. This area was also difficult to heat and cool . We used the nice gas grill and the fireplace. The advertised hot tub didn't have any water. Our biggest compliant was the property was no well cleaned. We found food under furniture in the two sitting rooms, one bathroom trash can was full. Addiionally, the master bathroom was dirty, shower doors scumy, mirrors spotted with what looked like toothpaste. Our upstairs guests found a half empty bottle under the bed. Also, there were only three washcloths in the whole house and a very limited number of hand towells. This property has great potential, but the cleanliness was not up to our standards.
