Unfortunately, this was one of the worst vacation rental experiences we've had.The cabin appears to have serious maintenance issues that should be addressed before it's rented to more guests. There was a persistent damp, musty odor throughout the cabin, what appeared to be mold concerns in the crawlspace, a raw sewage smell coming from the bathroom, and a plumbing leak from the upstairs bathroom that dripped onto a bed while children were sleeping. I documented these issues with photos.The outside wasn't much better. The property was overwhelmed with biting flies, an incredible number of mosquitoes, and ticks, making it nearly impossible to enjoy being outdoors.To make matters worse, after our stay we were hit with additional cleaning charges that were never made clear beforehand. We left the cabin in reasonable condition and felt like the host was looking for reasons to charge extra. Between the excessive post-rental paperwork and surprise fees, it felt more like we were being treated as suspects than paying guests.The cabin itself is also extremely dated. The furnishings, television, and overall condition make it feel neglected rather than rustic or charming.If you're looking for a relaxing getaway, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. There are plenty of cabins in northern Michigan that are better maintained, more transparent with their fees, and provide a much more enjoyable experience. Based on our experience, I would not stay here again.
