Sunny suite w/ private entrance; view of Betsie Bay one block from Lake Michigan

Thank you Stephan, we're glad you enjoyed your stay!

Bonnie, Thanks for your review, we're glad we met your needs for the Ironman race and welcome your return. Sarah

Thanks Terry, we agree and we hope to see you next year!

Thanks Kristin we agree that our location cannot be beat. We have a brand new sofa bed with a very comfortable inflatable mattress in the living room as well as a queen size bed in the bedroom. We’ll also make sure that we put the blankets and heavy comforters on in the fall in case it gets chilly. We always have space heaters and a wall heater available so next time you come please let us know if you have trouble locating those items or turning on the heater.

Thank you, Stephan. We agree with you about the bed. All of our mattresses are top of the line, made in Grand Rapids. We would welcome your return and will look into a hand-held sprayer for the stall shower. Best, Sarah

Thanks Megan! We're glad you enjoyed your and have since fixed the lock box which was malfunctioning prior to your arrival. We agree that the front porch is the best spot in town to people watch!

Doug, it was very nice to meet you and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. We switched back to higher quality tissue after trying a septic safe variety that left much to be desired! Maybe you stay you could try the Manitou Suite, which has a full-kitchen and large soaking bathtub.

We agree our location can't be beat. Many of guests are families with young children and the pull-out sofa and private bedroom suits a family of four perfectly. The Lakeview offers a kitchenette which is a wee bit smaller than a full kitchen but has everything you need to prepare a meal if you choose. We're glad you enjoyed your stay!

Dear Katharine, We agree that our location is the best. We're sorry you didn't know we don't provide bath soap, shampoo or conditioner - that information was listed on the welcome letter I emailed you prior to your stay. We do provide our guests with liquid soft soap and dish soap but not bar soap for the bath. The Lakeview Suite has a beautiful view of the Betsie Bay as noted on the listing. It also has a full kitchenette with sink, disposal, toaster, coffee, sugar, napkins, paper towels, coffee maker, microwave, over, cooktop and mini-fridge. We also provide linens and towels for our guests. Thanks for booking with us and we hope to see you again.

Thanks Bill, we welcome your return!

We couldn't agree more regarding our location... just steps from the beach and downtown. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. We welcome your return!

Thanks Steve, we’re glad you enjoyed your stay!

Thanks Josh, we're glad you and your family enjoyed your stay.

Thank you Kathy, we welcome your return!

Thanks John! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay & welcome your return!

We're glad you enjoyed your anniversary weekend Stephen and appreciate the suggestion about the guest book, we will look into making one available for our guests. Thank you and we look forward to your return!

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay in our cozy studio suite, the Nannybird. Come back and visit us again, we welcome your return.

Thank you for your comments, we’re glad you enjoyed yourself. We provide dish soap, sponges and soft soap in each suite. Typically guests prefer to bring their own shower amenities so we do not provide bath soap, shampoo or conditioner. We have updated the listing on VRBO to reflect this. Thank you again and we welcome your return to Serendipity House!

Dear Michelle, thank you for your review. As we discussed, the door was intact prior to your arrival. We were able to replace the screws with longer ones and secure the door to the hinge after you left. So glad that you enjoyed your stay and had fun at the wedding! We welcome your return.

Dear Sheri, Thank you for your nice comments, we enjoyed having you and you’re welcome anytime! Sarah Bannister

Thanks for the kind words and your awareness of the little touches we've incorporated to make your stay more pleasant. -Tim Bannister, Host

Thanks Gwenn. Come back and visit us again!

We should hire them to produce our next brochure! The review captures everything that makes us a great choice for a Northwest Michigan vacation getaway. And we're open year-'round.
