We have stayed here the last 5 years and still love it. Location right on the river is very tranquil. Would be an added benefit if small dogs were allowed. Maybe consider under 15 lbs. more than likely will see you again next year.

Our family of 6 enjoyed this house and property on our first trip to Michigan. Everything was as expected or better. Plenty of extra bedding, pots and pans, and coffee makers, and outdoor space for the kids to run around. We enjoyed the sectional couch-everyone had a seat-for our movie nights. There were a lot of bugs so take your bug spray. Our group traveled up to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, and even up to Mackinack Island. The Frosty Treat isn't too far away-a cute ice cream/mini golf combo. We didn't try the golf but the ice cream was wonderful. We had a fantastic stay and would go back.

Thank you for the wonderful review. We're so glad your family of 6 found the house spacious and comfortable for your Michigan adventure, and that the sectional made movie nights cozy for everyone. It sounds like you made the most of the area with Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, and Mackinack Island all within reach, and we're thrilled the ice cream stop at Frosty Treat was a hit. We'd love to host you again whenever your travels bring you back to Michigan. The VueStay Team

Great Getaway

This was a great getaway with friends. It was quiet and just what we were looking for but still close to some of the tourist attractions as well. I will definitely recommend this home to others.
