Little Gem in Levering

Stayed a couple of days last week and even tho it's off-season and quite a few places were closed plus there was still some storm damage in the area, we had a nice, relaxing time. We visited nearby Harbour Springs and St.Ignace and discovered some great places to eat and will definitely be coming back. The property is centrally located when I contacted the host about a couple of issues I had, they resolved them promptly and chked with me afterwards to see if everything was ok. Fantastic hosts and great property.

Perfect location for exploring the Upper Peninisula

Within a two hour radius of this property, you can visit many interesting and beautiful sites. The property description and pictures are spot on. It was cold while we were there and we feared that the school house would be drafty. No worries --- we were very comfortable inside and didn't notice the need for jackets until walking out the front door. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.

Feels like home

This place was fantastic! The pictures do not do it justice. Quiet, charming, safe neighborhood tons to do close by but away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This place was stocked with everything we needed. The fresh, clean bedding smelled amazing and the towels were soft, plush and smelled great as well! We had the best time and will definitely stay here again in the future! Loved reading the notes in the guestbook!

Peace and quiet

We loved our stay and the school house was beautiful.. I was looking for a peaceful vacation and I got exactly that! Our room was perfect and super clean! They definitely take pride in making sure you’re comfortable. It had everything thing you needed.. The owners were on site during our stay & they were both super kind! We are planning on coming back in the fall! I loved it here!

Such a vibe

It’s in an old school house from the early 1900s. They did such a good job. There is 3 other apartments there. They had everything ready and clean. Great communication. Will go back again. Love what they did with the place. Book it now!

Nice place

The place was certainly unique! A couple things to note - the room has high ceilings and thin walls - everything echoes and you can year everything that's going on in the next room. Also, the room wasn't quite clean, there was dog hair on the comforters, and human hair on the pillow and sheets. I don't think the sheets were changed.

Late summer get away

This is a very unique property. You can feel the history. Well put together, and furnished. We had one little glitch. While we were away for the day, the temperature of the apartment raised uncomfortably warm, 76 degrees. But when we contacted our host, they quickly reset the heat pump and lowered the temperature.

Very Comfortable and cozy apt.

We loved the old classroom surroundings! It was very nicely appointed with what surly was Estate sale furniture and bricabrac. Nicely stocked with the basic essentials to keep and heat up food (no stovetop). Plates, cups, silverware, utensils, wineglasses, etc. very roomy. TV might take little figuring out. We got help from the on-site concierge! plenty of parking and laundry too! The best price we could find in that expensive resort area. The neighborhood is older, but I felt safe. (Northern MI, after all) 100% recommend!

Charming studio

We enjoyed our stay, for the most part, at this cute, renovated schoolhouse. The building is located in a quiet area. There is an outdoor table that could seat approx. 6 people, I believe--very peaceful. Location is short drive to Mackinaw City to catch the ferry. We liked being away from the hustle & bustle. Drawbacks were coffee grounds left from previous occupants, lack of coffee cups (and difficulty reaching on-site property manager about this), lack of room-darkening shades/blinds, no wine glasses (for an area surrounded by wineries, we thought that was odd), bare minimum utensils & place settings & the beds were not very comfortable for two people sharing. On a positive note, the owner was pretty quick to respond to messages. She addressed many of the above-mentioned concerns, stating that orders had been placed for these items but hadn't arrived yet. Cleaning issues were thought to be due to previous cleaning company they no longer use. Overall, we were happy with the stay, but thought perhaps they shouldn't have begun renting the suite until it was really fully prepared. I would stay here again if issues were addressed. njoyed some wine one evening. Very peaceful.

About the host

Hosted by Sissi Humphrey

Having been an international Flight Attendant for AA for over two decades it shows how much I enjoy traveling. We love outdoor activities, our dogs and cats, kids and grand children, which all makes for a very busy life.

Why they chose this property

I love how peaceful and quiet this area is and nature all around. Several lakes are just a short drive away, the Mighty Mac still takes my breath away when I cross over to the UP. Ferries to Mackinaw Island are only a 15 minute drive.

What makes this property unique

I pride myself in keeping it extremely clean and took a lot of care & time to find displayed art pieces as well as furniture. An additional bonus is the setting of the building - an almost 100 year old school house - will transfer you back in time. It has a really good feel about it as you enter the big hallway with the chandeliers. The school bell still works and is as loud and shrill as you remember, if you are of my generation!!! ;-)) You can see the hole in the wall to the right of the main entry door as you come in, where the rope to ring the bell outside came through the thick walls. A truly unique and authentic experience for sure. We kept the blackboard on the walls in each unit as well to enhance your experience!
