We had a wonderful time at the property! We had unseasonably beautiful fall weather and were able to enjoy the huge lake on the provided kayaks. The beds were very comfortable. The hot tub was clean. The egg chairs on the deck are perfection. The gas fire table is fantastic. The location is out of the way, so if you enjoy that, this place is for you. Also, loved the bottle of wine that greeted us on arrival!
Minor things: kitchen chair upholstery was very dirty. This didn’t match the rest of the house at all. The interior of the house was very clean.
Leaves outside were horrible. It is fall, so leaves are/were expected. However, the leaves were up to 12” deep in areas of the yard. So, they hadn’t been done recently, if at all this season. Leaves covered the walkways, entire yard area, deck, and the steep steps down to the house (also good to know if you have mobility issues). The amount of leaves made getting down the sloped yard to the water and dock (also covered) a bit slippery and messy.
A book with instructions on how to use features of the house and expectations. would be great. I’ve never been to a rental without a book of basics.
The wifi and internet in general is quite spotty. If you have work to do while vacationing, this might be handy info.
However, despite these VERY minor things, I would absolutely come back to this property. During the summer, a pontoon on Pine Lake would be phenomenal. The location, while out of the way, still felt within reasonable distance to Lake Michigan, Grand Rapids, etc.
Lastly, Pine Lake Grocery has freakishly great pizza and is in very easy walking distance.
Definitely recommend this property.
