Enjoyable stay.
This house was reserved for a family of ten with three dogs. Our trip was to Mackinac Island, which is about a 45 min drive NW of this rental. This distance was really nice. When we arrived we counted that it could probably sleep 12 total, which was nice because we didn't want to be too cramped. Though there was only (dinner) seating for six: one four seat table and two bar stools. We had brought chairs along so we all huddled around the table. The house was much nicer than any of us originally expected. It was pleasantly larger and had a little bit of everything we needed. We did not notice any damage upon arrival (other than a glass window pane that had been taped) or anything that looked out of place. Almost everyone slept great the first night. The owner requests everyone to remove their shoes, which we did throughout our stay. This was fortuitous because it was rainy and muddy that weekend. We hung three dog leashes as well as a towel on the coat rack next to the front door, so we could bring them in and and immediately wipe their paws as well. We did not hang anything else on it, but it did fall down the morning we left. The large diameter plastic wall anchors used always create damage pulling out drywall during failure. There was evidence of a prior repair. I would suggest metal fold-out drywall anchors that sit behind the drywall, which are much stronger. Overall, we had a very nice stay and would consider this rental again, given another vacation opportunity.
