Further details for this vacation house rental in Baldwin / Walhalla, Michigan

Fishing and Hunting: Lake county has 156 lakes. and a few great rivers to trout fish from. Our lake has a large variety of fish and they taste wonderful. The lake is clean and wonderful for swimming and kids. The Pier Marquette river is only 10 min. away and offers some of the best fishing in all of Michigan. We have catch and release areas, fly fishing areas and open areas as well on the same river. The Pine river is a favorite body of water to many trout fisherman as well. If you like Perch, we had 2 guest this past year that caught some that were 14 inches. Now that's a perch. I'm still trying to get one and I own the place? What's up with that? I guess they know more about fishing than I do unless they used a fish finder. They did bring their own boats and they did have a fish finder. This lake is connected to 2 others known as the chain of lakes and fishing is excellent for bass, blue gill, perch, walleye, Lake trout, and Pike, sun fish, red eye and muskie and crappie. Great deer hunting 1000's

Ski Resorts: Ski resorts can be located North and Northwest of us from 45 min. to 2 hours depending on where you want to ski. see below. Note: for 10 people at $300 for the week.

Ski: There are many ski lodges in all direction fro m Baldwin and not too far away. When you return to the lake front home you always have ice fishing to give you a fresh fish dinner or just sit by the fire place with a nice glass of wine for a nice quiet evening. You can also cross country ski right out the door and across the lake if you wish or at the golf course. Snow shoeing is also a great winter sport and we have the snow shoes there.

Golf: The Marquette Trails Golf Course is just 10 min. away and is one of the best golf courses around and the Big Star Lake Inn Restaurant is right on 76th just across the street from the golf course. However the golf course have a nice restaurant for breakfast and lunch. There are also many other good restaurants in Baldwin and north of Baldwin all the way to Luddington and Grand Traverse Bay.

Other Activities: Pier fishing with one hour, live theater 1 1/2 hours in Traverse City

Beautiful cottage and restful retreat

Indiana Nana Plymouth, Indiana
Review Submitted: August 22, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Loon's Ridge is a beautiful cottage on a small lake. The cottage was comfortable and beautifully furnished. The lake is small but wonderful for pontooning and kayaking. It was great for just sitting on the large deck and watching the birds. The owners even filled the bird feeders on the day we arrived so there was plenty of bird acitivity. There was a nice swimming beach for little children and they could swim without worrying about the wake from big boats. We enjoyed kayak races and a luau party on the deck. We spent a week at Loon's Ridge with our family and had a wonderful time. The owners are very attentive to the upkeep of the property and the needs of their guests. We found everything clean and in working order so we just "moved in" and started enjoying our vacation. We definitely hope to return next summer and would recommend the property to others looking for a quiet, relaxing get away.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much. We really appreciated having you and we do hope to see you again soon. We must admit it a labor of love and we love to stay ourselves but it's hard for us to sneek the time away.

We love to go out of our way to do what ever it takes to make some one feel at home and we certainly enjoy pleasing others. Many of our guest are line family and return each year. We are so glad you had a good time and we look forward to seeing you soon.

We hope you enjoy the rest of the summer.

Even better than it looked!

blue gill new knoxville OH
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The description of this property and all that it comes with looked too good to be true, but it wasn't! As good as it looked in the pictures, it was even better in person. The home is new, clean and supplied with everything and more we would ever need to be at home in our vacation home. The owners were very detail minded in how they prepared the house for us, even inlcuding a gift basket with a bottle of wine! Our whole family of four with Grandma too, enjoyed it. The boats were wonderful and the area is quiet and peaceful. It is a pretty steep climb from the house to the beach, but the extra exercise helped us be able to eat even more S-mores around the camp fire! Great spot, we would easily go again. We have already recommended this property to friends.
