This place was perfect for our family to stay. The stay was comfortable - everything we needed! Comfortable and nice bedding with plenty of pillows. Everything was clean, nice and updated. We loved having a kitchen and all of the appliances and dishes we needed. Host was amazing, so accommodating and fast with communications. Property was so calm and quiet. We didn’t use the outdoor space much with the schedule we had planned for the stay, but loved the fire pit option and plenty of parking for a trailer if we would have had one on this trip. Check in and out was smooth and super easy. Would totally stay here again the next time we are in town. Thank you!!

This place served as a good place to stay while we were in the area for a wedding and then exploring the UP. It is cozy but we didn’t need a lot of space since we were out exploring. Definitely recommend it.

Good stay - nothings perfect.

Host was responsive.Check in/entry etc. easy.Place is modern and clean.Great towels.Great bedding.Nothings perfect so it gets an 3.75/4.0 out of 5.Furnace is REALLY!! Loud. And we felt it was being controlled remotely.Main area needs a couple of rocker/recliners. The futon dosnt make sense as there are already 3 bedrooms, all of which have queen beds( very soft and very nice bedding) but the main area dosnt have much for comfortable sitting and is quite small. The window A/C leaks a ton of cold air so corner in kitchen was VERY. Cold ( our bananas pretty much froze. Pans were extremely dirty (put away w/o being washed by prior we assumed), and most need to be thrown out. We might stay again but cost is pretty steep for its size!
