When we first arrived, we were excited. The home was clean, spacious, & initially appeared to be as advertised. However, I was disappointed by the condition of the exterior. The front yard & outdoor furniture showed a noticeable lack of maintenance, & the online photos presented the property more favorably than it appeared in person.Later that evening, while reading in the living room, I realized there were no curtains, blinds, or shades on the living room, kitchen, or bathroom windows. Although the primary bathroom had tinted film on the window, it seemed it was still possible to see inside from outside. Curious, I walked around the exterior to check, & my concerns were confirmed outside. I also discovered that nearly every window in the home was unlocked. My grandsons & I went around the house &secured all of them ourselves. The front porch light also did not appear to be working that first evening. I’m sure nothing would have happened, but between the lack of window coverings, the unlocked windows, & the nonfunctioning porch light, Alexa on & active we did not feel comfortable staying overnight. We chose to book a hotel in Traverse City for the remainder of our trip. Since the home had already been paid for, we returned only during the daytime to use the kayaks. Other than one shower, we didn’t use the house. While the home itself was clean & spacious, we did not feel comfortable there. Check actual lake access across the street prior… it is not private access.
