Absolutely perfect!Our hosts were the most personable and pleasant people we have encountered in all of our travels.The rental was exquisite and ideal for our family.The views were magical, and we would highly recommend our hosts and this home to anyone wishing to experience northern Michigan!!
I enjoyed myself a great deal. The accommodations, while rustic, were clean and comfortable. Somewhat like Waldon Pond. The setting was quiet and serene. I particularly enjoyed the front porch with a lake view in the morning, with a cup of coffee, and the evening with an adult beverage. The owners could not have been nicer or more accommodating.I would recommend this to my best friends.
We stayed 6 nights and had a great time. It’s an old, beautiful home that is being renovated. The creaking floors and screen doors and the amazing view from the back porch all came together for a genuine “up north” experience.
