This property was as advertised - Very clean, close to beaches, the dunes, and big enough to host our family gathering for vacation. They have lots of games, kayaks, bicycles, fenced-in yard, and the hot tub was a relaxing bonus. They keep things well stocked, and inviting!Very nice owners with good communication!

Pros: Comfortable beds, enough space for teens, small kids, and adults to not feel cramped, plenty of amenities, well stocked kitchen with lots of gadgets, indoor/outdoor games, close to good coffee and food, fire pit, canoes, big covered porch, central to tourist sites without being in them, great area for biking/hiking/beach, close drive to stunning beaches like Eche, Betsie, Platte, etc. The home still appears to be going through renovations but it did not affect our stay. Owners were very responsive and helpful. Cons: a lot of bugs near lakes, not an issue of the property itself. Not a ton of sights within walking distance and local grocery is expensive,

This host was unbelievably accommodating and Professional! When we asked for the Pickleball area to be cleaned up so we could play, they were there within an hour, and it was spotless when we got home. Then we played Pickleball! The home was impeccably clean and easy to use. The kitchen cabinets were labeled so we could find everything and there was a wonderful coffee bar set up. We had eight women in our group and there was plenty of room for all of us to have someplace comfortable to sleep and for us to play games and visit. The hot tub is beautiful! This home is very family friendly and I went ahead and reserved it for next summer for my family, and another week for our women’s group. Location is great, very close to area attractions.

We all enjoyed our stay and had a great time. The house was plenty big for the 9 of us, and we all felt comfortable throughout the stay. The hot tub was working and very clean, and there was plenty of games and activities to do at the house. Beds were comfortable and the sheets were clean.

About the host

Hosted by Bryce Ropp

Host profile image

Hello and thanks so much for the interest in our home!
I'm an elementary school teacher in Honor. We have the privilege of living in one of the most beautiful areas in America, but it does come with super high property prices, more than a teacher can afford.
Your stay at our home helps up pay our mortgage. We are so very grateful!!! We have another place to stay when guests are over.

My wife and I have three young kids. We like to kayak, canoe, bike, hike, backpack, ski, and camp. I have hiked the Appalachian Trail and have ridden the TransAmerica Trail on my bicycle.

We take great pride in having the cleanest and nicest house you will ever stay at. Unlike rich people who have someone else manage their property, we do everything with great pride to make sure your vacation is wonderful. We go the extra mile to be accommodating to your family.

Why they chose this property

Every day my kids and I walk a few minutes down to the Platt river and play around or in it. We carry the kayaks right from the garage to the river and paddle away till my wife picks us up when we are done. It's a pleasant half an hour bike ride from our house to Lake Michigan. In the fall the salmon come right up to the bridge by our house. In the winter Crystal Mountain is only about 15 minutes away. We are a short drive from everything.

What makes this property unique

Being able to rent out our home has allowed me to buy all the cool things I have ever wanted for my family! We really have pretty much everything!
We have two huge decks. One is partially enclosed with a hot tub and outdoor kitchen. We turned our huge garage into a pickleball court and cornhole tournament area. We have three arcade machines. We also have a lot of kayaks, canoes, bikes, and kid trailers. We also have tons of kid stuff.
