Great time on Paradise Lake!

We had a fantastic time on Paradise Lake in this property. The owners were wonderful to work with, the home beautiful and the setting peaceful. There is a ton of room on the grounds. Although the lake has a nice sandy bottom, there isn't a sand beach. However, the swimming was very nice for the kids. The fire pit and hammock were both huge hits - nothing is as good relaxing in the hammock and fresh s'mores for a multigenerational family vacation. We hope to come back.

We shared this house with another family consisting of a total of 11 people ranging from 10-42. The house was a little confusing to find but easy once you knew your way. It was very relaxing and peaceful. The listing description was accurate however the pictures led us to believe it was bigger than what it was. On the other hand, it was not cramped and suited our needs very well. It was very well maintained and clean. It was very well stocked with everyday amenities and the water heater capacity was surprisingly sufficient even for our crew. The swim area was very nice for the kids although you had to watch for some underwater hazards (hidden "toe jammers"). The scenery was great but a little hidden by alot of shade that could be trimmed back a little. This house served us very well as our base of operations as we visited the many sites in the area. You could not ask for a better location to visit Mackinaw City. It was extremely close to everything and you were never in the car very long. The owners worked with us and made suggestions which were helpful. We have no complaints whatsoever with the support we received. We have already recommended this property to friends and coworkers. Of course the island is the main attraction worth visiting and the scenery including the bridge made you wish you were there year round. We visited everything including the movie theater (only takes cash), mini golf (nice), Historic Mill Creek Discovery park (great hiking) and town (alot of nice little shops). We would go back to any of these places again. With alot of teenagers, we had a group that can be critical but all were happy with the choice.

"Dear Matt & Lesley
We loved staying in your beautiful home & grounds. Your colors, patterns,& room decorations are so lovely. We have stayed in other rental properties & really appreciated the cleanliness of your home.
A special thank you for allowing our son to stay in your attic room. He enjoyed his "own space" & thought it was a great room. Thank you for opening up the bright room. It was a special privilege! The place is gorgeous- just like the whole house. God's blessings to your family"

Our family stays in a different location for our summer vacation every year. This charming house is at the top of our list. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings...except for us when we were playing in the water. The front porch was my favorite place to be ... especially in the mornings. A couple of loons flew right over our heads when we were in the lake. The house is furnished with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and pleasant. Day trips to Mackinaw and St. Ignace completed our vacation.

Matt and Lesley, Here are a few highlights --My 10 yr old son was thrilled to catch two smallmouth just north down your lakeshore; one was 20".
The waterskiing was unexpectedly good so skiing was on flat water.
We did have a great family vacation and thanks for the opportunity to use your place. Thanks,Dan
