Weekend Trip

My friends and I had a great stay here! Everything was exactly as described in the listing. We really enjoyed the pool table, air hockey, and hot tub. The best part was the close proximity to Crystal Mountain - it was just a short 5 minute drive. Would definitely return if we ever ski there again!

Fall break getaway

The flooring and cabinets appeared new. There were some water stains in places. The air hockey table in the pictures was not there. But our family enjoyed the pool table and video game. The dumpster had a horrible odor (apparently the last guests were fishermen and left items in the dumpster).

Trip to the dunes and traverse.

The place was clean and functional. We spent little time at the rental place, but overall it was functional. The main bathroom door lock wasn't working properly, but we didn't mind too much, just had to let the other's know if you were using it. It was located near to the area we were exploring. (About 30- 40 mins south of traverse/sleeping bear dunes) My only complaint would be how sandy the kitchen was. But it must be how the soil is around that part of the state. So you just have to sweep a few times from the door way to the kitchen.

Smelled like something died in there. Only a couple windows had screens. The rest didn't have screens or didn't open. Couldn't contact the property manager. I was not getting the security code from Vrbo and I had no other contact info.

There are a lot of really good ideas in play here. It's a great location with minimal traffic noise. The house looked clean on check-in and we had no problem getting lock codes or addresses from the host. The kids loved the hot tub, Mortal Kombat, and playing pool. The adults loved the proximity to emergency groceries from Dollar General and how quick it was to get up on skis at Crystal Mountain.As we started settling into the house, though, we started to notice minor problems. There was nothing glaringly out-of-joint like dirty beds or a lack of hot water so none of it felt like it was enough of an obstacle to warrant contacting the owner for relief, but this is an honest review. The most frustrating issue we faced was a waterlogged hot tub cover that didn't have a roll bar to help remove it, so 2 adults had to muscle the cover off (filled with water and ice) and then back up onto the tub without damaging the nearby fence. Not an easy job! We also found holes in doors and walls, broken blinds in nearly every room, dangerously wobbly ceiling fans, and a cache of scorched and scratched pots and pans that were too sketchy to use.If you're just looking for somewhere to crash and you're not overly concerned with cosmetic stuff, this place really is great. It truly has a lot going for it. If you're looking for thoughtful amenities in a well-maintained property that's reflective of its price-per-night, this is not the place for you.

Worst VRBO experience!! Complete bait and switch!!

Property was terrible, holes in walls, all blinds broken, hot tub not usable (nasty stuff floating in it), all games listed for game room were broken or missing. Address was different than listed on VRBO and owner sent correct address 30 minutes before check in. Grass had not been mowed in weeks and weeds as tall as my kids. When messaged owner about missing and broken things and listing not up to standards he did not respond for 24 hours and it was almost like an automated response. I e we’re forced to sleep here one night due to being late and 8.5 hours away from home. We got up next morning and drove home! DO NOT STAY HERE!! Owner will not answer and neither will VRBO, now we have to try and get money back from bank.

Great weekend Getaway!

Our rental was clean and ready a little early. Jacob was quick to respond with any questions we had and was very friendly. The house itself was great. The pool table and the air hockey table were a great source of entertainment, as well as the hot tub. Our only concern is that we had planned to make a big breakfast for the 8 of us staying there, but there was only one frying pan. We made do, though and made the best of it. The beds were very comfortable and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. Thanks again, Jacob. The 8 of us have been friends for 20+ years and we get together one weekend a year for some adult time and your place certainly was worth it!!

great place for a quiet getaway

The first thing that struck us when we first arrived was how clean everything was. The next thing was how spacious it was. There was plenty of room for everybody to gather together. Or, if there was need for some private time,. there were plenty of opportunities to do that. My teenage daughter loved the air hockey game. The pool table was entertaining too. The neighborhood was super quiet. The place was very convenient for us to visit Dunes National Lakeshore. The hot tub was very welcomed, especially after a day full of hiking and dune climbing.Also, the beds were very comfortable, letting us all have a nice relaxing sleep. Overall, a great place for a quiet getaway.
