Sunflower Cove 3 Bed/2 Bath Lakehouse of Gladwin

SherriRating, 5 stars9 months ago

There were 4 adults staying for Labor Day weekend. We had more than enough room for all. We have vacationed together for years. We all agreed this was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. So well put together and everything you could ever need. The yard was beautiful, the deck had beautiful views of the lake. The furniture was very comfy and there was nothing more we could have wanted.

A dining area features a large wooden table surrounded by six black chairs. Natural light floods the space through two windows and a sliding glass door that leads to a deck, which offers views of the riverfront outside. Wooden beams accentuate the ceiling.

Northern Retreat-hot tub-pool table-arcade- darts

SamanthaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My husband and I spent two nights here on our honeymoon. This place was extremely clean and we noticed how good it smelled when we walked in! The hosts left clear instructions on what to do with everything they offered. The pool table/game room is separate from the house, which I thought was pretty cool! Very peaceful, surrounding neighbors were quiet even during memorial weekend. Perfect place to relax, there is enough to do where you don’t have to leave if you don’t want to! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Very friendly hosts who offered a lot for a great price. Would definitely take a trip here again!! (There’s also a scavenger hunt they include if you’re looking for something fun to do outside- so cute!!)
