The property was beautiful and perfect for our family Christmas. We put a tree up and decorated the whole main floor, so that made it just like home. To top it off, it was 70 degrees in December, which is way better than the temps in Michigan. It was fully stocked with everything we needed to bake cookies and make meals. The stairs down to the lake are no joke, but once you get down there, its an amazing site. 2 of my kids did a cold plunge and loved it. Crazy kids! LOL! The driveway was a little steep for us Michiganders, but we had enough parking for all of us, so that was great. The only thing I wish wouldve been different, is the contact with the host. I had to send messages on here which took a while to get a response. I wouldve liked to have a cell number from the beginning, to be able to contact them and get a quick response. We had a couple things that came up, that needed a quick response (like the keypad on the door not working) and werent able to get an answer when needed. The host was very apologetic about the keypad when she seen the messages and had a remedy for us quickly. In saying all that, we would definitely stay at this property again and would recommend everyone to stay here.

Response from VrboOwner on Jan 2, 2026

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re so happy to hear the home was a perfect fit for your family Christmas and that you made it your own with decorations and a tree — that truly makes our day to hear. And 70 degrees in December is definitely a bonus, especially compared to Michigan! 😊 We sincerely apologize for the delay in communication during your stay, especially when you needed quick help with the keypad. Thank you for your understanding, and we truly appreciate your patience. Your feedback is very important to us, and we’re actively working on improving our responsiveness and communication moving forward. We’re so grateful for your recommendation and would absolutely love to host you and your family again in the future. Wishing you all the best, and thank you again for choosing to stay with us!
