We enjoyed our overnight stay. This property is in a nice neighborhood area where I could walk our dog. The kitchen has a good supply of utensils and a single pod coffee maker. The mattress was a foam type which is not my personal preference but was new and fresh. Thank you for your clear directions and communication.

Peaceful Cabin in a Great Location

Not only is the host a great communicator but the property was just the same as the description. It was very clean, comfortable, and in a comfortable location. This is a great place to stay if you’re looking to be close the Higgins lake or close for fishing on the au sable river. Definitely would stay again! 10/10!

Great location! Short drive to the beach. Relaxing, large yard with mature trees - great for kids to families to enjoy. Loved the decks on the front and the back of the home for enjoying the outdoors. Shower pressure was great - always a plus! Nice having washer and dryer on premise. Host was easy to communicate with and responded promptly.
