We had a great time at the house. It was very clean and plenty of space for a girls weekend in Michigan.Bit bummed by how warm it was upstairs, even with the fans running. And the temp on the swim spa wasn't working correctly and was stuck at 100 all weekend. (it was quite hot all weekend, but wished we could have had a more refreshing dip than solely hot tub temperature.

Thank you Sarah, we're happy your group enjoyed their stay. Thank you for the feedback about the temperature, we will be looking further into your comments about this and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Such a magnificent get away for me and my five adult kiddos! Thanks for providing such a lovely well-stocked beautiful home for our most enjoyable time together! The pools are magnificent ! We spent so much time playing in the spa pool and soaking in the hot tub. The outdoor shower and fire pit was super fun. The porches are excellent with swings and comfy sitting spots! The garage was stocked with lake toys and chairs! Towels galore! The ping pong table, fooseball table and dart board provided way too much fun for six humans can have in friendly competition! The kitchen was abundantly stocked with great dishes and pots and pans, spices, bag of ice on fridge for beach cooler! They literally think of everything! Apparently they have a great label maker! We didn’t see it but we saw its work! This made it super easy to clean and return all things to the correct space. Check-in and check out was so simple! Minimal requirements for cleaning ! Literally so easy. Don’t even have to make a bed or even strip it down! Very responsive hosts! Convenient location with state parks, shores, and shopping and food nearby! I highly recommend this sweet home! Thanks Junioer! We will be booking for next year in a week or two! It is really that good! Thanks for the memories!
