Greg M.

Beautiful home and very spacious
We had a wonderful time with our kids and grandkids. The house was plenty big enough for all thirteen of us. The kids loved the bunk beds, toy area, and the beach and sand area. We enjoyed playing cards at the pavilion. We are looking forward to coming back again next summer. This house is highly recommended!

LOVED THIS PLACE!!
We just spent a fantastic week at John's Lake Home, with four generations - our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It was WONDERFUL! Upon arrival, everything was clean and ready to go. The beach area was really good for the little ones and the beautiful pavilion was one of the most used areas of the property. Early morning sunrises were beautifully & peaceful, we ate lunches there, read, visited and totally enjoyed time together. We enjoyed the raft and swim area as well as the pontoon, kayaks, paddle boat and canoe. And of course the game room was not overlooked. We used the fire pit almost every evening. There is just so many things to do here, its hard to remember and mention all the fun things we did Our one rainy day provided ample time for a volleyball game in the pool - what a great time and so much fun for everyone. We used the pool most every day and it was no problem checking it each day to make sure the pump was running. It seems like some guests are concerned about all the rules and guidelines to follow, but when you read them, they are all just common sense and things we all would want done if the property was our own. John is very considerate and was always available, and answered our texts and question in a timely way. We are so pleased with the property and will be back. We have already paid our deposit for our week next year.Thank you John and Elizabeth for sharing your lovely lake house with us.

Great vacation with a few glitches!
First of all, our family had a wonderful vacation. The pontoon and beautiful weather is what really made the vacation. The house has so many wonderful things and improvements it is too bad that there were some things not quite in order. I spoke to and texted with John many times over the course of the week. Some things were taken care of, some things could not be fixed or cleaned, and some I did not mention to him until after we were gone. He was very apologetic, explained everything to me, and was going to fix the things I told him about. Unfortunately, we had to deal with them, especially with some things not being cleaned up to standards I would expect and the pool not working. There are many rules and instructions that come with the house. If you don't mind all this, then you will definitely have a great time. There are many "toys" for all age groups to enjoy at this house. The location on the lake and the property are really wonderful.

About the host

Host profile image
We have 4 wonderful children that enjoy water sports, including water skiing, jet-skiing, boating, fishing, beach volleyball, and of course, swimming.

Why they chose this property

For many years, our family has rented a lake house for a week in the summer every year; we have travelled and rented many homes all over the midwest including Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri and of course Michigan. In 2015, we were vacationing at the beautiful Lake Diane, and while cruising on our own boat we noticed that this gorgeous house was for sale; At the time, we were not looking to purchase a lake-house, we contacted the listing realtor "just to take a look" since we had a day to kill towards the end of our vacation.
From the minute we walked through the front door. OH MY GOD!!! we were all floored and in complete amazement of the entire property. We have stayed in many homes and in several states, but this property had everything we could ever dream of in a lake-house. Everyone in our family, and other families that were vacationing along with us that week, felt completely in love with the property and everything about it...just like EVERY ONE of our guests that have been completely amazed since the first day we started to rent (as noted in the reviews and in our guest journal). Lake Diane is beautiful as well. It's a large lake, but not just a boring big round bowl; it has many bays, and channels with many beautiful homes. There's also a very convenient lakeside store, restaurant (with great food) and fueling station for vehicles AND boats. This is very convenient and a great plus for us and all of our guests. Just Google: Lake Diane Restaurant and read all their great reviews.
