Location was perfect and the property was well kept. We had everything we needed. Owner was easy to contact and responded quickly. Price was less and the apartment was much bigger. Would definately recommend. Only suggestion would be that the mattress was a little soft for our liking.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Bentley

Host profile image
Getting to know people & reading are my favorite hobbies. My husband and I really enjoy Northern Michigan and it’s wonderful walking trails in the summer( a.k.a. snowshoeing trails in the winter). We have five children that love to swim, ski and keep us hopping. Our favorite restaurant is The Barrel Back found in Walloon Lake Village (just three minutes from the rental). It sits above the lake so you can watch the boats or snowmobilers come in depending on the season. I enjoy hosting the rental and hope that guests will find everything they need at the apartment and have a pleasant stay.-Heather
