We chose this property specifically because of the hot tub, so that was a disappointment. During our stay, the hot tub never got very warm and the chlorine level seemed very strong to the point that it burned our eyes just sitting there. There were also some cleanliness and maintenance issues, including cobwebs on the ceiling, dust on trays, and multiple burned-out light bulbs. Also important to note the property isn’t very secluded, considerable traffic noise from the highway. For us, since it was only a two-day stay, we didn’t want to spend part of the trip arranging maintenance visits for issues we expected would already be taken care of before arrival. Communication was polite and they thanked us for the feedback, but overall the stay didn’t match our expectations for the price and amenities.

Thank you for your feedback, Jamie. We're sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. We were particularly surprised by your review because after check-in you reached out directly and shared that everything was great and that you found the cabin to be very cute. At no point during your stay were we made aware of concerns regarding the hot tub, cleanliness, maintenance items, or traffic noise. We always encourage guests to contact us immediately with any issues so we have the opportunity to address them while they are still enjoying their stay. Regarding the hot tub, it is designed to operate within manufacturer safety guidelines and will not heat above 104°F. We also provide detailed instructions prior to arrival and are always available to assist if questions arise. The hot tub is professionally maintained and sanitized between guests, with chlorine levels kept within recommended standards for guest safety. We were also surprised by the cleanliness comments, as our cabin consistently receives positive feedback from guests. While our property offers a rustic Northern Michigan cabin experience, cleanliness remains a top priority, and we have reviewed your comments with our team. Lastly, while the property offers a peaceful setting, our listing and photos are intended to accurately represent both the cabin and its location. We appreciate all guest feedback and are always committed to providing the best possible experience for future visitors.

Cabin was super clean and very well decorated. Landscaping was well maintained and looked beautiful by the lake. Host let us check in early since we were in the area which was very kind of them! Quiet area, a little noise from the main road but nothing crazy or too noticeable. Hot tub was great, perfect temperature and clean. Plenty of blankets and towels for guests. Would absolutely stay here again, short drive to traverse city which is what we came for. Host was also very quick with response time.
