Summary: Wonderful house in fantastic condition. Super clean and everything went smooth from start to finish. Lake is gorgeous and super clear. Great communication and use the exact directions given since some GPS will take you down another road. Roads are dirt in many spots but this is northern Michigan. We brought our boat and dock was great to use. There is about 72 steps down to the ramp on the water so that means the house sits up and overlooks lake. The lake is a two story lake with depths to about 60 to 64 feet. It requires a variety of skills to fish. We saw lots of very big bass and caught about 50 fish but all were under 13 inches. Fish included Rainbow, Small Mouth Bass, Rock Bass and Bluegill. Caught these fish with a large array of lures and many during tolling deeper sections. The big fish we saw really didnt have any interest even though live bait was hanging in front of them. We did some sight casting which worked. After a week of fishing what we noticed was that we had the most action on the side where the public boat ramp is located. I did find it odd that we caught no largemouth bass. The Rainbows were about 10 to 12 inches and caught trolling 20 foot plus deep water sections. It is suprising that the lake is not stocked with lots of Walleye and Perch. With the nice depths it would seem like a winning combo. Overall, it is a beautiful lake that is fun and not overly busy.Without a doubt, a great property and host. Once you arrive you will want to hang out there.
