Our family had a great week at this property. When we arrived the property was very clean and appeared just as described in the listing. The check in website was having technical difficulties however Megan was easily reachable and answered all questions. The lake was beautiful and had so much to offer. Would definitely book this property again!
We stayed at the property in June 2024 and it was just as described online. We were impressed with the ease of check in/getting in the home as well as the cleanliness of the place. It is in a beautiful setting on the lake with lots of room/privacy from neighbors with a large yard. They had kayaks to use which was super fun for the kids, the foosball table was a hit and there were lots of toys/things to do stored in the shed and lots of games to play too on the back porch. We had such an enjoyable stay and love the Pickerel Lake area we would love to come back again next year! Wonderful family vacation home! Thanks for making our yearly family vacation wonderful!
We had a great time, the house was as pictured, clean and well equipped. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 3 grandchildren. We enjoyed the hot tub, large grassy play area, bonfires and room to dock our rented pontoon boat. I recommend wearing water shoes as you can walk quite far before it gets deep. The Keurig coffee maker was slow for 6 adults. We had a wonderful week and would love to return.

This is a beautiful and private property. The property manager was very responsive to questions. The kitchen was stocked with nice pans and a lot of silverware and dining ware. It has a keurig instead of a full coffee pot, so plan accordingly. There was some K cups provided. Lots of towels provided. It got a little warm upstairs, you may want to take a fan. 4 bathrooms was amazing with 4 families. The hot tub was clean and worked perfectly. There were board games, kayaks, cornhole, foosball, and horse shoes. There are chairs for around the fire but they sit very low so we were glad we brought our own. We caught fish right off the dock. The ground just off the deck is uneven and slopes down and dock is long and kind of narrow if you’re traveling with anyone with mobility issues. Close to Petosky. The party store down the road has SO much. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean, nicely decorated, with plenty of room for our family of 9. The kitchen was well stocked. Large yard for playing games. We enjoyed the hot tub. We were able to dock our pontoon boat there and we liked swimming and fishing off the boat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long family vacation (8 adults and 3 children) at the Pickerel Lake Home. It was just as described - spacious, comfortable, clean and fully equipped with everything we could possible need. We rented a pontoon boat for the week, which we used everyday for fishing, swimming and taking leisurely rides in the evening. The fire pit was stocked with plenty of wood, the hot tub was clean and cooking utensils were plenty. Highly recommended!!
