The house was adorable and very clean loved the pellet stove and hot tub. One thing that was a bummer was there was no toilet paper and paper towel as well. We literally were not there except to sleep and ran out as the role of each was at its endWe had to take down one of the alarms as it was beeping all night until my husband figured out which one to take down.

We loved the cabin! Kitchen is well stocked! The property is nicely shaded and we took advantage of that with our hammocks! Super hot while we were there so only used the hot tub once but can see that it’s a nice bonus perk!

The Chateau was very clean and nicely decorated. A warm comfortable home invited us all in to relax. The fishing was difficult but the time spent at the cottage was relaxing and stress free. The hosts had a nice book out with all the instructions and attractions, as well as a nice bottle of wine.

We come yearly, my best friend and I. We started staying exclusively at this property last year because it checks EVERY box for us. Close to town yet semi secluded. Hot tub, beautiful view of big bucks and herring, close trout fishing. Love it!

So nice to have a clean, quiet, and cool place to rest after busy days outside. The owners were very responsive and accommodating. The location is pretty and very close to Big Star Lake.

This home is situated on a nice wooded lot where nature adds to the beauty. The rental was inviting, very clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable including an outdoor hot tub with a wonderful view. Definitely would stay here again!

Cottage was super cute. Very clean and cozy. We were a little disappointed that the wet land in the back was dried up but it was still a very peaceful view. Enjoyed the hot tub however do wish it had a little bit more privacy from neighbors, fortunately they were not home during our stay. Over all we had a nice relaxing time.

We used this home as a base to take day trips from. It was the perfect little cottage tucked in the woods. We also stayed there one day and just relaxed because it rained all day. It's nice and quiet.

We have no complaints. Spotlessly clean, comfy beds, plenty of space indoors. We made use of the fire pit every night. Loved the hot tub! The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking our meals. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and the 20 or so turkeys running through the yard from the swing. The lake is a 5 minute walk. There is access to launch your kayaks, but not a lot of space to sit in the sand. It was a joy to stay here!

The Chardonnay chalet was perfect for our first family getaway in Michigan! The adults loved the spacious cabin and hot tub, and the babies loved the rocking chair, high chair and pack and play provided. We can’t wait to come back in the future!

This is my third time staying at this rental property, and it was just as great as the first. Check in/out process, cleanliness, amenities, etc. are all top notch. Quiet neighborhood and close to town. The hot tub is the best part. Hope to be back again next year!
