Second visit!
Love staying here. The lake is clean and not too deep where they are located. The kids loved playing on the beach and kayaking. Communication with the owner has always been quick and accommodating. Super clean and homey.

Family visit
The open area kitchen livingroom made it spacious. There was plenty of sitting in the living room and family room. Because we were visiting family at the lake we never ate a meal there other than breakfast, so we never all sat down in the kitchen together. The view is amazing, lake front property is perfect for everyone especially kids to play in the sand, sand toys provided. The kayaks and canoe were great. Be sure to go left around the little island to see the turtles and fish. Lots of sleeping spaces and extra blankets and towels.

Nice Getaway
We stayed a few days at this lake house and had a really nice time. The house was clean and well maintained. I was there with my wife, 2 girls (9 & 11) and my in-laws. We were supplied with everything we needed for the house and the lake. There was only a charcoal grill (no gas grill), so be sure to pack accordingly. There was a very small party store nearby that had some essentials if needed. We do not recommend the pizza. The only downside, which is not a reflection of the rental house, was that there were no restaurants that were close. You’ll have to take a short drive to find anything. The place had beautiful views and a good size lake to swim, boat, kayak etc. we would visit again!

Anniversary Trip
Everything was great, no complaints. My only suggestion would be to place curtains on doors since both upstairs and downstairs main areas are also sleeping areas. 6am, it was very bright in the rooms. The rest of the windows are covered, just not the doors. As stated by another review, cooking supplies are limited. If you plan on doing lots of in home meals, keep that in mind. Beds were comfortable, more than enough room for a large family to spread out. If you are there for a week, bring extra TP/paper towels/garbage bags. You don't need bath towls, but I would suggest to bring beach towels.The beach towels supplied are bath towels size. My favorite part was the wall of past renters. Super cute idea and loved seeing where everyone was from. I would reccommended this rental and have no hesitations about going back! Kitchen

We had such a great time at Loonrising! The property has tons of space, beds, and recreational activities like Kayaking and fishing. The lake is perfect for a family vacation. Robert went out of his way to make our stay just as we’d hoped. Even the neighbors were welcoming. Would love to come back! Thank you SO much!

Loved this Home!!
We stayed here for a week. The goal was to unplug and disconnect. This property delivered. Gorgeous home, great yard for dog, friendly neighbors, fun kayaks, and peaceful property. Not much around to do but that’s what we wanted. Can’t say enough how lovely it was. As an FYI, if you love to cook, bring some pots/pans as the selection was limited. Everything else was perfection. Will be back!

Beautiful location on the lake
Nice place right on the lake with a yard, nice fire pit area, and a sandy beach. We used the kayaks all day everyday exploring the lake. The house had everything we needed and plenty of room for our large group to spread out. Our only complaint was the fridge was on the fritz and we lost a lot of meat and cheese but the owner was responsive and tried to get it fixed right away.

Loon Rising Visit May 2024
My family and I had a great time and enjoyed all the amenities the property had to offer. This was only my 2nd time using a rental property and if they all go as well as this one I will certainly be more inclined in the future. Loon Rising is a great place if you need somewhere to stay in the area that has many extras like home that a hotel cannot offer. We had fun exploring the area as well taking in West Branch, and a day trip over to the pier on Lake Huron.

Perfect lake vacation
This was an incredible week to connect with our growing family. Clean, comfortable & spacious home. Plenty of activities to do both at the lake and in the surrounding area. We didn’t need to contact the owners during our stay because there was no reason to. Communication both before our arrival and at check out was met with a prompt reply. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful Family Getaway!
This was our first time renting a cottage for a family getaway and we didn't know what to expect. I can say that it was better than I expected. The description and photos on the website are very accurate and the owners provide pretty much everything you could need. The beach is sandy out into the crystal clear lake, so you can see the bottom and the fish. We spent much of our stay at the beach or kayaking on the lake. The area near the cottage is quiet and peaceful because boaters mostly just putter around on pontoon boats. The cottage feels like you are walking into a model home. The main floor has a bedroom, laundry, bathroom, large kitchen and eating space, plus a comfortably living area. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all our meals including clean and fairly new appliances. We had seven adults and were all able to sleep comfortably on beds with nice clean linens. They even have a wall where you can immortalize your family's stay. Our overall assessment? We booked this cottage again for next summer as soon as we got home.

Wonderful lakefront rental
This property was incredibly clean and well stocked. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into what could make the stay most enjoyable. We had a group of 10 and felt like we had ample space, especially for sleeping. The lake and neighborhood are pretty quiet, which was great. The owner was very easy to communicate with.

Toes in the sand!
Our family had an amazing little vacation. The house was very clean and plenty of seating for everyone. Loved that we could bring the dogs too (for an extra charge). The teens loved fishing from the dock and kayaking. They had the basement to themselves which gave my husband and I some privacy for napping. The sandy beach was a great touch. The dogs loved splashing in the water and chilling on the sand. We used the fire pit often to make s’mores and the grill for burgers. There was a snafu with the keypad to get in but the owner was very quick to respond and the problem was solved. Overall we loved our stay and would recommend staying on Jose Lake (pronounced Joe’s Lake).
