Cutest lake house ever!
5/5 Needed a get away from caregiving and this spot was perfect. Home was cozy and comfortable. Loved all the decorating details and wood accents. Highly recommend!

Lakefront in Jackson
4/5 The property was lovely, with a beautiful view of a lake. It has comfortable beds and furniture, enough cookware and utensils, the appliances were all easy to work. Parking is across the street, which was a bit confusing initially, but the property manager was quick to confirm that this was the case. There were nice touches such as board games, cards in a drawer, and blankets/throws. And there are plenty of nearby major stores to get groceries and other things that you may need.
My only complaint is that it wasn't prepped to welcome guests. There were some spiders/spider webs (nothing major, but definitely had to get rid of them for my family), no coffee or tea, no towels laid out (we had to search for them and figure out which were decorative), backporch was not swept of spiders/spiderwebs, bird droppings, and leaves. It was amazing on the backporch and we spent a lot of time out there, but we had to brush off debris before we could sit the first day, and purchase candles to keep away the bugs/mosquitos at night. There are logs for the firepit, but no kindling or matches.
Nevertheless, I still recommend the property, it met our needs and I would stay again.

Perfection!
5/5 We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful, cozy place to stay for our trip up north for the Michigan game! We had everything we needed: coffee pot, super soft sheets, comfy beds, cozy living room, spa-like showers, every kitchen gadget, snuggly blankets, a deck that was AH-MAZING to sit on and watch the swans and ducks, loving and welcoming neighbors, and the view.....so peaceful. We will be back for a longer stay to get some fishing in. Easy check-in, hosts that gave great food recommendations, and were very accommodating. Book this place now, but not for when I want to come back! :)
