Lots to do....Michigan beauty

MelanieE Arizona
Review Submitted: June 27, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My family and rented this beautiful home along with some family friends. We found the home itself to be delightful with so many activities for adults and children. We went tubing on the river, which is very conveniently close by, and made so many memories with the kids! I loved the accessability to our own private lake as well as the great sunset viewing spots that were very close. A great restaurant is down the road about a 1/4 of a mile...within walking distance, and serves the most delicious seafood entrees.

This was a pleasant experience and I would recommend this home to others. I will look ahead to next year and would love to rent this home again.

Love the buffalo theme!
