Fine place

Bright, tidy space. We had 6 (3 adults and 3 teens), and while it was a tad tight, we were fine for a couple of nights. Kitchen is well stocked. Good location for doing things in the area, including some great restaurants and the Elberta beach right near by. Super responsive property manager who helped us right away when things came up.

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at this property and would highly recommend it. It was well stocked, clean, and a great location for us to set out on our daily excursions. Having bikes and kayaks on site was big for us because it was less we had to pack. The owners were always super responsive and helpful the entire time we were there.Plenty of good places to eat in the area: we would recommend Lighthouse cafe, Stormcloud Brewing, and The Scoop for ice cream. Perks is good for coffee.40 minutes to sleeping Bear dunes. 60 minutes to Traverse. 20 minutes to Crystal Mountain for alpine slides!It’s a wonderful little lake town with all the charm and amenities you’ll need for a successful escape from your busy life!

Rooms were clean except a hair in the shower, socks left in a drawer, and a pair of underwear behind the dresser when I pulled it out to plug in the tv. Air conditioning in both bedrooms and living room was a huge bonus. Ice machine and water in fridge was not hooked up. Personal deck and table outside was nice. I left my phone charger on the nightstand and was unable to get it returned to me unfortunately though. Overall we would stay here again.

We sincerely apologize for the cleaning oversights you mentioned, as this is not the standard we hold our property or cleaning team to. Your comments have already been shared with our housekeeping staff to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We also wish we could have reunited you with your phone charger, and we apologize that it didn’t make its way back to you. We appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear you’d consider staying again. We’d love the chance to host you in the future.
