The house is exactly as described. Kitchen and linens /towels very well stocked. Beds are very comfortable. The host is close to immediately responsive. The hot tub and two separate fire pits worked like a charm. The outdoor shower was so comfortable over two weeks, I never used the indoor shower. A close drive to Traverse city, hiking, kayaking, we didn’t have time to use our bikes, so I can’t comment on that. There were many items for children. This NOT a disclaimer , just a comment… the Boardman River is colder, with a faster current than we anticipated. It did not get in our way, but might be a consideration for a family with small children. If that is a minor concern for you, I would contact the host who is sensitive to young children and I’m confident she would answer you honestly.
