This place was an absolute dream! The vibe was incredibly cozy, comfortable, and clean. You can tell the hosts put a lot of thought into the details to make it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect and the communication was seamless. 10/10 would highly recommend to anyone!

Hunting trip

From check in to check out we had an amazing experience during our stay. The house is super cozy and kitchen was fully equipped for cooking our breakfasts and dinners. The backyard had a fireplace that looked beautiful with lights surrounding the whole yard. 10 stars for sure on this location.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're really glad to hear you felt at home and enjoyed your stay. Sounds like you made great use of the kitchen and had some cozy nights by the fireplace—those backyard lights really do add something special. We appreciate the “10 stars” more than you know, and we'd love to have you back anytime!

Would Stay Again!

We really loved this VRBO, the pictures are just as it is, it is very clean, easy to get too, great location! The backyard was perfect for our small children, they loved he tub too! Communication with owner was quick and easy. All the furniture was very comfortable. The TVs were not locked out on apps (has happened at other VRBO's before and is not fun for the little ones). Our favorite VRBO so far!

Perfect Getaway Up North

We loved our time at this property! Very close to town, but removed enough to really give that up north feeling. The house is very spacious, clean, and well stocked. We especially appreciated the high chair, pack-and-play, and kid-friendly dishes for our little ones. Our young daughters loved the fire pit in the backyard, as well as the big soaking tub for getting clean afterwards. The location provided easy access to hiking trails, ORV trails, and tasty restaurants. We would certainly stay here again!

It is exactly as described. It was very clean, and have every thing we needed. Endless firewood for the outdoor fire pit, that was great. Sleeping areas, we’re great. Beds and furniture were very comfortable. Ease access to to the local area’s. I would definitely stay again. Host was very responsive and friendly.

Close to Paddle Brave

House has everything you need! Manager always responsive and accommodating. Would love to stay here again as our trip will most likely be an annual thing. Great location at 0.5 miles. We didn't camp but it was nice to hangout with those at site having a bonfire. It also made it easy to meet the larger group to go tubing for the day due to proximity. We also had a nice surprise of 2 small deer eating in the front lawn one night.

Great property for multi-generation family trip

I booked this trip for myself, my parents (seniors) and my two teens. The property was spacious, clean, well-appointed, with an open layout. The shared spaces are open and inviting. The guest rooms provided plenty of privacy and comfort. We enjoyed yard games and a bonfire out back in the private yard. Everyone had plenty of space to relax and enjoy the weekend. The surrounding area is wooded and rustic, beautiful scenery for a morning run. I felt safe exploring the roads and jogging into town. Location is perfect for a trip down the AuSable or a day at the beach. Roni was responsive whenever I had a question. We did not have any issues with our stay. Looking forward to many returns!

I'm happy you felt safe exploring the area—it's such a peaceful and scenic spot, especially for a morning run. Thanks again for being such great guests, and I’d love to host you again anytime!
