Family Getaway
Our family had a wonderful time celebrating my in-laws’ 50th wedding anniversary in this house. The location is absolutely perfect and the semi-private beach can’t be beat! Jim and Beth were awesome to work with and very attentive to our needs. The house is very well stocked in addition to being beautiful. We hope to be back!
Great family getaway
All three generations of our family thoroughly enjoyed this property. Proximity to the beach and lake are unmatched. We often had the beach to ourselves. Cleanliness and amenities were top notch!
Great Family Getaway
We rented this property to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. There were 12 of us all together (kids and adults). Everyone had enough space, and having a bathroom on each floor was helpful.
Our parents stayed in the upstairs bedroom which provided great views of the water and sunrise. The living room also has a great view. We were only rained out for one day and it was actually relaxing to watch the wind and waves crash along the shore.
The star of the show here is having your own private beach. Not having to load up the car and fight the crowds is a huge plus to this property. We enjoyed lots of family time looking for Petoskey stones (found several), swimming, sitting by the fire, and soaking in the sun.
The hosts were very friendly and made sure that we had everything we needed. There are also lots of things to do around town, even on a rainy day. All the popular retail stores and restaurants are just 5 minutes away. I highly recommend this property.
One word of caution. Watch your step heading out to the deck from the living room. The step is raised and I wasn't really paying attention. Cut my toe wide open on the very first day. Didn't take away from a great trip though. Lol
Family Vacation 2024
We had a great time! Loved the easy access to the beach & lake and watching the freighters. Thanks for sharing your vacation home with us!
Fort Gratiot Lakehouse
Our family of 9 enjoyed our stay here. Right on the lake with everything needed close by without feeling like you were in the middle of the strip. The host was quite gracious and made sure we had everything needed, including a solo stove for a fire on the beach. The view from the family room and master were out of this world and the hot tub was on par. Stay here, you won't regret it!
Great getaway
I was very impressed with our home away from home! It was clean, cozy, and very well stocked. Communication with the owner was excellent. The beach was literally in our backyard. I would definitely recommend this for both children and adults.
Great time on the lake!
Our family had a wonderful vacation on Lake Huron. The house was beautiful, clean and stocked with all the necessities. They even hadsnacks and drinks in the fridge.
Great location with the most hospitable hosts
We absolutely loved this house. For our young kids, the largest lake sandbox and very safe waterfront was all they needed. For the adults, the relaxing view, the ship watching and the very close access to great restaurants and several fun towns was such a treat. We came in the fall and even without swimming, it was a place with plenty to do. The house is so very clean and bright, and the hosts stocked the home in the most loving and hospitable way. They were always a text away if we needed anything and we even got to meet Jim who is such a fun dude to talk to and learn about the area. You can’t go wrong with a getaway in this property!
Beautiful Lake Home
Beth and Jim were gracious hosts. My family and I truly enjoyed our time together at their beautiful and clean lake front home. The lake view was breathtaking and the beach was amazing. The home was well stocked with any and everything you might need for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. Beth and Jim are very personable, friendly and accomodating hosts. We would highly recommend this VRBO.
Perfect place for 3 generations to stay for a week
This house is wonderfully situated steps from the water's edge and has everything from inflatable rafts to hot tub. I highly recommend it. And the hosts couldn't be more accomodating.
Great Family Reunion Location!
Amazing location on the beach with a beautifully renovated and appointed lake house.
They were very accommodating to our needs especially since we had some snow storm issues when we were traveling. Very communicative
Host was very responsive and the house was beautiful. 10/10 would stay again. Thank you Jim!
Absolutely beautiful! Jim and Bethany were wonderful hosts! Everything you need is right here! Beautiful home, beautiful lake and wonderful people and place all around. Thank you!
Beautiful Lake Huron home
Modern, well taken care of. Lots of room.
Very nice, gracious hosts.
summer vacation
This home was wonderful. It let us all be together, but had spaces to be alone. There were amazing views from the deck, and protected spaces behind the house. Already booked a second stay.
Winter Vacation
Stayed at this beach house for a little winter vacation getaway. We had a great time. The beach house was amazing, we really enjoyed our stay here. Owners were excellent to work with.
Magical Lakehouse Weekend
House is beautifully decorated, spacious, charming, and spotlessly clean. A well stocked kitchen. Being right on the beach was amazing. Beautiful sunrises, sunsets, and rainbows. Small rocks at the waterline. Fun if you like Petoskey stones. Bring water shoes if you have sensitive feet. Multiple comfy indoor and outdoor spaces. Hosts were lovely to work with and very responsive. The power was out in our area one day. Jim reached out immediately to make sure the generator had automatically started. It had. Would highly recommend the house and hosts.
Great property!
The house and host were wonderful. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated and had all the amenities you need for a relaxing vacation on the lake. The host even stocked the fridge with condiments and eggs!
