Very nice house to stay in. Was just the right size for our needs. Need to clean windows and replace the broken one out back. House was nice to stay inside while we had to ride out weather. Kitchen was well stocked.

We stayed at the Honey Pot house for the weekend as 4 friends reconnecting after many years apart. The property was perfect for us! Well appointed and plenty of space. We played games and sat around the fire in the private backyard. Conveniently located for venturing out or staying in. Many businesses close by for delivery options. Poppy was super responsive and helpful with providing recommendations for recreation and restaurants. Check-in and out was smooth.

We enjoyed our cozy stay at the honey pot very much! It was perfect size space for our family of 4. And after our adventurous days it was a great landing pad!! The location is great, we enjoyed morning walks and sunset views on the lake close by! We saw some fawn friends & loved the area a lot. Overall the space was mostly clean, there were some noticeable cobwebs throughout the house indoor and outdoor that made my 8 year old desert boy very weary & mindful of his surroundings. But that is to be expected in a forestry area. Poppy was an extremely hospitable host, and very responsive right away. I would definitely stay here again, and recommend to others!

Poppy’s house is cozy and comfortable. We were there for over 2 weeks and felt at home, relaxed, and comfortable in the home, which Poppy encouraged. Our dog loved running around playing in the snow in the fenced backyard. I would love to come back in the summertime and take advantage of the backyard and the lake!

Communication with poppy was so easy and quick whenever any questions came up. It was only a little inconvenient that the bedroom doors all lock when you close them with different codes to unlock them, but I can see how that would be nice with a large group that you only have to remember the code to your own room. For us with kids in all the other rooms it just became kind of tiresome. Would very likely still stay again though!

Die Wohnung hat einen sonderbaren Geruch - als würden Feuchtigkeitsprobleme oder Gerüche eines Raucherhaushalt mit Duftstoffen überdeckt.Noch unangenehmer ist aber, dass sich das Wasser seifig anfühlt und es im Waschbecken des Badezimmers sogar kloakig gerochen hat. Weiterhin hat uns sehr gestört, dass es in der Küche keineTür zum Kellerabgang gibt, so dass ein dunkles Loch bleibt und der große leere Keller wie ein großer Resonanzkörper wirkt und Geräusche in der Wohnung verstärkt.In der Küche und einem der Schlafzimmer sind die Fenster durch den letzten Farbanstrich fest verschlossen und können nicht geöffnet werden.

Thank you for the feedback. While you were there I constantly asked for feedback. I understand well water is different when you come to this country. I have made adjustments and now include bottled water! I also got a door installed to basement. I wish you the best!

About the host

Hosted by Poppy H

Host profile image

I’ve called Michigan home my entire life, and it’s shaped who I am in so many ways. With a passion for science and teaching, I’ve always been drawn to learning and sharing knowledge with others. For over 20 years, I’ve lived in the beautiful lakes area, where I raised my family and built a life rooted in nature, community, and connection. Now, with my kids grown, I find joy in nurturing meaningful friendships and contributing to the community that has given me so much.
