The perfect get away
Me and my family had a great time! The fishing was good/fun (caught a northern pike). The beach was perfect for my kid to play in the sand/water. The house itself was extremely nice and open. Very quite and peaceful. It's the perfect get away if you're looking to get out of the house and just relax at one spot. Enjoyed our stay while we we're up there and hit lake Michigan on the way home.

FVR RESPONSE:

We're delighted to hear that you and your family had a great time at our Austin Lake Lodge property, Caleb! It sounds like the fishing was enjoyable, especially catching a northern pike, and that the beach provided the perfect place for your kid to play in the sand and water. We're pleased that you found the house extremely nice and open, offering a quiet and peaceful getaway.

It was our pleasure to host you, and we're glad you enjoyed your stay while relaxing at our property. Visiting Lake Michigan on your trip home sounds like a perfect addition! We hope to welcome you back for more memorable experiences in the future.
