Misleading listing as home is 3 bedrooms, not 4, as 4th bedroom is actually a pull out love seat in the only living area of the home and not a bedroom. Host said home had been professionally cleaned and monitored within 24hrs of check-in, but one bedroom had both dead and live spiders and webs throughout, kitchen island still had food stains and debris from a previous guest, bath linens were stained and dingy, grass around the fire pit and yard was high and filled with mosquitoes. Family checked out after the first of 3 nights booked with no recourse from host or Vrbo other than offering someone to come out and clean the home during our stay. Overall bad experience.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2026
Response from VrboOwner on May 28, 2026
We’re sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. We always want our guests to have a great experience and take concerns seriously. For clarity, we did not receive any communication about these concerns during your stay, nor were we given the opportunity to address them before your departure. Once the concerns were brought to our attention, we promptly offered to have our cleaning team return to take care of anything needing attention. The cottage is accurately listed with sleeping arrangements that include a sleeper sofa/loveseat option, which is disclosed in the listing details and photos. Many families have comfortably stayed in the home using this setup. The home had been professionally cleaned and inspected prior to check-in, and this is the first complaint we have received of this nature. As a cottage in a wooded/lake area, occasional insects can unfortunately appear despite regular pest monitoring and cleaning efforts. We also maintain the property and outdoor spaces regularly, though summer weather in Michigan can naturally bring mosquitoes outdoors near grassy and lake areas. We genuinely care about providing a clean and comfortable stay for our guests, and we’re grateful that the overwhelming majority of our reviews reflect positive experiences and accurate expectations of the property.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Kemp

Host profile image
Hello and welcome to our cottage! My wife and I have two daughters that are full of lots of joy and energy. We love to go for walks as a family and travel around the world. We are Michigan natives so we love to enjoy all that our beautiful area has to offer. It is our hope that your time at our cottage will be enjoyable and a peaceful place to stay.

What makes this property unique

We love our cottage for it's quaint setting, surrounded by beautiful, tall oak and maple trees. We also love the location as we are just minutes from downtown Caseville and a short walk to our 'sugar sand' beach. The skylights upstairs provide natural lighting into the home and a beautiful view of the stars above at night. The wood stove in the dining room (although unusable) creates a warm and cozy ambiance as well as the handcrafted wooden beams in the living room.
