The Space:

What makes the "Mandon Retreat" so unique is the attention to detail. We have a wide range of amenities for year round enjoyment. Inside you have a fully stocked coffee & espresso bar, complimentary snacks, fully stocked open concept kitchen, not one but TWO living rooms for groups of many sizes to sprawl out, board games, 50inch Roku TV, TV's in each bedroom (coming soon), a cozy barstool nook which is the perfect work station or quick dining spot, plenty of room for a group of 6-7 with 1 King, 1 Queen, a pull down sofa roughy the size of a full bed, & 1 large twin day bed in the front living room for privacy at night.

The location:

Top-notch location situated right in the middle of everything North Oakland County has to offer! What we love about our location is you get the up north Michigan feels, but your SO close to the neighboring suburbs. "Mandon Retreat" is on a short dirt road (approx. 200 yards) with minimal traffic in a quiet neighborhood. Our home is directly on All-Sports Mandon Lake with the canal right in our backyard! 30 minutes (15 miles) to Pine Knob Ski Resort / Amphitheater, 10 minutes (5 miles) to Alphine Valley Ski Resort, 30 minutes (17 miles) to Mount Brighton, 30 minutes (17 miles) to Oakland University, 25 minutes (12 miles) to Pontiac's northern loop of the Woodward Dream Cruise, within 12 miles of 10 Oakland County golf courses, and less than 10 minutes to 15+ water front restaurants and bars!

About Mandon Lake:

The lake is affectionately known as the "Mighty Mandon", because despite its smaller size all sports are permitted.
With a maximum depth of 18 feet, Mandon Lake is fully capable of having skiing or watertubing. Being a smaller lake, it is private, making it a great place to reap all the benefits of waterfront living in Michigan.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free vacation home features games, kayaking nearby, and water skiing nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great Spot for Relaxing
We had a wonderful time staying here! It was about 15 minutes in either direction for a lot of locations we were going to in the area. The amenities were great and at our time of year there was a lot of sticks and such to add to the wood we brought for the fire pit. The water is pretty hard, when we did laundry the clothes we hung dry never stopped smelling metallic and we had to wash again after getting home, but we greatly appreciated there being a washer/dryer and dishwasher with the supplies needed to run them! There were a few spiders visiting inside, which my sister didn't like but didn't bother me. Very pet friendly for the lil doggo we had with us. A wonderful place to stay if you are in the area!

Mandon Retreat Hidden Treasure
From the first interactions with the owner to the simple check out process, we were delighted to spend the month of August at this nicely-appointed property. The cottage was clean, close to restaurants/shopping and access to Mandon Lake was a short paddle down the canal. The owner/property manager were very responsive and took the time to make sure our stay exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this property and we are looking forward to returning soon!

Cozy and Comfortable
We had a weekend of racing going on in a nearby town and it was so nice to come back and cook a meal and relax out on the deck or down by the water. My husband is in a wheelchair and it is always hard to find a space that he can get around. He was able to navigate the rooms just fine. He needed a little help in the front door, but minimal. Comfortable beds allowed us to get a great nights sleep. We would definitely stay here again!

We had so much here! Didnt realize how close to the water we were. We even used the kayaks all around the lake. Very roomy, clean, and perfect for us. Thanks for a great stay and fun memories! ❤️

Great getaway
The host went above and beyond on a cpl different items. Cleaned out the garage so I could park my trailed motorcycle inside, let us check in early and was very responsive on both occasions. House was clean and stocked with coffee and welcoming snacks. Plus a bottle of wine on the table. It just so happened to be a bottle that I liked. I did leave a bottle In return of a different wine. Highly suggest visiting The Filling Station for the best burger you’ll ever find. It’s just outside the community. Cons/Suggestions- small roof or awning for back porch area, Thank you for the stay and would definitely stay again.
