Quiet Roomy Ranch

Although this property is right off the highway in Clare it is quiet and secluded. The house itself was spacious, clean, and nice. Met all of our needs. Would be happy to come and stay again if we visit mid Michigan in the near future. Thank you for being our host!

We booked this Vrbo for a family wedding and stayed for several days and it was perfect! The house was spotless, incredibly spacious, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The beds were extra comfy, and the location couldn’t have been better because it is minutes from downtown.One of our favorite parts was relaxing on the back porch, which offered peaceful, scenic views. We even spotted deer and foxes right from the porch, such a magical touch! The host was kind, responsive, and super accommodating.This home was a gem, and we’ll absolutely be back. Highly recommend!
