Great Fall Escape
We absolutely love this place. The view was exactly what we needed to enjoy an incredible fall break. We thought that it was an excellent kick off point too many of the things that we wanted to visit just about 40 minutes from anything really. The hosts were incredible and the communication was excellent. They were so kind and we really truly appreciate The place that they have made for those who are traveling to this area.

Family birthday
The Lake House is a perfect location. Ryan was very responsive right from the start. The home is exactly as pictured. It was super clean and impeccably decorated with high quality linens and utensils. The ability to rent the pontoon was a highlight of the stay! Thank you to both of you for allowing to stay at your home to celebrate my husbands 70th birthday with our family.

Amazing vacation stay
I grew up on Shorewood Ct. so I love the location and I love Lake Orion. This house was so clean. I loved sitting on the couch drinking coffee and seeing the view of the lake. My 12 year old son stayed the week- we took advantage of the ace throwing in the front, the paddle boards and kayaks. I wish I could have stayed longer Easy check in and messages with the owners

Wonderful property
My husband, elderly parents, and I had a wonderful stay here while visiting relatives in the area. The house had great features and amenities, and the spacious living room and kitchen area worked perfectly for us. The walk-in shower was especially helpful. Location right on the lake with a dock and use of the kayaks was terrific. Communication with the owner was fantastic!

Comfortable lakefront property
We rented the house for a group of 5 adults, and we had a wonderful trip. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with everything we needed! We cooked inside, on the gas grill, and over the fire pit. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend for a quiet get-away on the water.

We had a great stay on the property, plenty of room for our group. We enjoyed the water, kayaks and paddleboards and loved renting the pontoon. Daytime boating and golf at topgolf with evening card games and bonfire was the perfect combo! John was very responsive to any questions!

Brocks Lake Orion Getaway is a great place to stay. The option of renting the pontoon boat at the property is very cool. Private & beautiful, house was very clean. You get the entire house, not one level of a duplex like with some rentals. Was able to park 3 cars. We would stay there again.

Fun and Relaxing Stay
This was a great rental for my family. The location was convenient to other family in the area and the property was clean and well equipped. The two kayaks and paddle boards were a plus, but we enjoyed the pontoon boat the most. It was definitely worth paying extra for the pontoon and exploring the beauty of Lake Orion. John did a great a great job communicating and responding quickly to our questions.

Beautiful location.
The landscaping and grass was overgrown. We didn't use the firepit because it was rusted out. The bench by the firepit looked like it would collapse if we sat on it. The pontoon was difficult to start and died on us a few times. The bedding needs to be replaced. We loved the area but overall we were disappointed with the house.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 3, 2021
Sorry for your negative experiences Teresa. I replaced the fire ring with a new unit earlier this week. Our lawncare team has ghosted us this summer, but this has also been addressed. I'll be sure to check the bedding as well as we upgrade regularly when items are worn or damaged. The pontoon has a carbureted motor, and i just took it out for a test run last night, and it runs fine if you start it with the choke as I tried to explain. I will add written instructions for future boaters.

Lake House on Lake Orion
Nice house nessled on quiet cove of Lake Orion. House was very comforable and kitchen was equipped with most things you might need. Could have been a few more games for kids to play, but we brought some with us. Got good use of the paddle boards and kayaks. We rented the pontoon for our stay and cruised around the lake. While looking at the map of the lake (down the hallway of the house) I noticed the lake has a sandbar. We checked it out and spent a good part of the day swimming off the boat on the shallow sandbar. Our stay was short but very relaxing. Thanks John for the opportunity to stay at your lake house.

Wonderful getaway with grandkids!
This property was exactly as described. John the property owner was one of the best I have dealt with. He was very prompt in responding and wonderful to deal with. The house was very clean and very well stocked. We took three of of our grandchildren for a long weekend for a getaway before school starts. As with most children - all they cared about was swimming and fishing. The lake was very clear - my one comment will be is that you do have to step on large rocks to get into the water or to jump off the dock. The house sits at the end and is very quiet but as others wrote - grocery stores etc is a very short distance away. We hope to rent from John again.

We loved this lake house. It was clean, had everything we needed and the owner was very good at communicating and answering questions.

My wife and I wanted to get away from our busy lives to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we’re happy we chose this property! The house was very clean and put together and had a wonderful patio overlooking the water. We also enjoyed the fire pit by the water and the propane grill. We took the pontoon boat out on one day of our stay and had a lot of fun exploring the lake and fishing!
