Check-in was smooth and easy. The hosts were very quick to respond and easy to communicate with regarding any questions. The kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed and had 2 ovens for cooking plus a blackstone outside. Having our 3 families together we had plenty of space for sleeping, cooking and we loved the basketball court out back for the kids to play on.
Perfect weekend with the family! Great location to explore so much nearby and still feel out in the woods. Views from the deck are gorgeous, kids loved having basketball and the stars were unbelievable! Lots of room for bigger groups to spread out and have their own space too. The upstairs loft area is separate enough for some piece or for the kids to enjoy without being isolated. Both Sarah and Bruce are extremely kind and responsive. A all around!
It's a great place to stay especially for a group. We took turns cooking our evening meal and the kitchen amenities and size made it very convenient. I could even say amazing. Having two indoor gathering areas - upstairs and downstairs as well as the dining room table really worked out nicely. Great outdoors also. And, again multiple gathering areas. Most of our group was in our 70's but I could see there would be plenty of things to entertain young children as well as young adults.
This was our second time staying here and it was again a great choice. There was enough beds for everyone in our group and the kitchen was stocked with all the pots/pans/appliances we needed. Communication was great with the host.
We enjoyed this VRBO so much. There was lots of sleeping room, playing room, and relaxing room. So much care in the details (from the towels to the tea!).
The house was close enough to Houghton (8 minutes to downtown) for all the great restaurants and shops, but far enough away where you are surrounded by woods and secluded. Perfect location to get away and enjoy nature.
Our family converged at the house for a long weekend in the UP. We loved the house! It was very comfortable, clean, well stocked, and in a beautiful, quiet area. It was a great base for our various day trips. Would highly recommend for family get togethers!
This was a great place to stay with a medium/large group. All kitchen appliances and pots/pans that we needed were all provided. Hosts were excellent and great at communicating.
