Clean, great location! House is VERY clean and well laid out. Mud room,& laundry right inside garage. Nice light kitchen w/ dishwasher. Roomy bedrooms, and baths. Very comfortable. Very good communication with owners when we had a question. We enjoyed That it was very close to town (Munising) for our Captain Ron, Falling Rick, an Pat's runs. Also just a few minutes to Sand Point and Miner's Beach & Falls. The 5 of us would be pleased to stay here again!!

We are so glad you enjoyed your trip and your stay at Deer Run Retreat. When we bought the house we weren't sure how it would do for short term rental and wow were we wrong. Guests love it and so happy that your families did too. We hope to host your next trip to the UP!!!!

This property was very clean and just as the listing showed. It did need some basic maintenance work ( broken windows, poor lighting in garage) but over all ok. Not sure way mandatory insurance is required. Seems like just an extra fee for no reason. A bit over priced for the area (Other than Pictured rock, there not a lot to see in Munising). Would be great in the winter.

The window was broken by a guest who stayed their prior to your arrival, it is a small crack and I have a new window on order, because the home is booked solid it will have to be replaced accordingly. The garage has 8 LED lights that are 4 feet long, I wish would have asked me and I showed you the very easy to find light switch on the inside of the door in the mud room. Insurance has nothing to do with the hosts so please contact VRBO in regards to that. Maybe you should have researched the area you were traveling too before booking a home. Take care.

We loved our stay! The house was wonderful. The only thing needing improvement that I will mention is that the ice maker did not work. Other than that loved our stay.

This place was picture perfect! Very clean, spacious and inviting. The hosts simply thought of everything to make this a sweet experience. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking your own meals. The location was perfect for seeing the picture rocks, and not too far from some amazing waterfalls. The setting is pretty private as well. Host responded promptly when communicated with. I would definitely stay here again!

We had a fantastic stay at Deer Run! The house was super clean and incredibly comfortable from the moment we walked in. It truly felt like a home away from home. The thoughtful touches really stood out: there was pizza and bottled water waiting for us in the refrigerator, which was such a welcoming surprise after traveling. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook and dine in comfortably, which made meals easy. There was plenty of room for all 7 of us to spread out without ever feeling crowded. The layout was perfect for both relaxing and spending time together. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Deer Run to anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and thoughtfully prepared VRBO!

We stayed for a week at the property for a cross country ski vacation. The location was perfect with easy access to the areas fantastic XC ski trails and also close to town. There were 8 of us; we were very comfortable in the space and found it to be well equipped. All appliances functioned perfectly, climate control was excellent, and we never ran out of hot water!! The house layout is perfect for a friends/family vacation. Dennis was an amazing host who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed! On the day of our arrival, a huge snowstorm hit. Dennis sent a plow shortly after daybreak to dig us out. The next day, he dug through the snow to get the grill for us so my crazy friend could grill burgers in sub-zero weather. I highly recommend this property!!!
