Family Vacation

A total of 8 family members, all 40+ yo, stayed for 8 nights and everything was great! The house was nice, clean and welcoming. John responded quickly to any of our questions and made us feel "at home." The large open yard gave us and our dogs plenty of room to do a variety of activities on-site. Excellent experience overall...Thanks!!

Had a wonderful time!

My family and dogs loved Papa’s ,s Place! The house was perfect as described, and very clean. The dogs loved the open outside area. The location was great to go on bicycle trips, canoeing and centrally located for the activities we had planned. John responded quickly to any questions throughout the process.

Fantastic home away from home

We had a great 5 night stay at Papa’s Place. The house is truly a home. Has a great floor plan, lots of space. The kitchen had everything we needed & then some. The extra touches provided by the Kennedy’s were greatly appreciated. They truly want you to feel at home. The entire house was spotless. Nice towels, lines, pots & pans, dishes. Our favorite space was the patio. It is truly relaxing. We sat outside at night for hours John quickly responded to any questions. We also loved the location. You will not be disappointed with this rental. Much thanks to John & Connie

Felt right at home

Seemless from start to finish. Great communication. A huge property made for peace and quiet. Super clean, new, decorated in a cute modern industrial country was right up my alley. Felt so homey, plenty of puzzles, books, treats! (My kids thank you!) and they even included the dogs. First vacation that I actually said “bye, house, I’m gonna miss you”.

Pause and Regroup at Papa’s Place

This property was even better than advertised. The property owner allowed us to check in early since I have a medical condition which requires access to an outlet. The property has clearly gone through a recent renovation and the attention to detail is obvious in every room. There are three bedrooms and two full baths, a very nice kitchen, dining room and a side den. There are 5 televisions. Outdoors is a fire pit, a very large yard, picnic benches, a very nice deck, and an outdoor grill. The property is extremely clean and obviously well-maintained. It is just minutes from Interlochen Center for the Arts and close to a grocery store and restaurants. We love Bud’s and the Hofbrau!! Papa’s Place is well-stocked with everything you would need to cook, and the owner provides a Wide variety of snacks for free for his guests. We had a lovely time at Papa’s Place and hope to come back next summer !!!

Amazing

We throughly enjoyed staying at Papa’s place. Everything was so nice and neat when we arrived. It was a perfect set up with snacks and everything we needed. The kids all enjoyed running around outside and playing on the play set. We had a wonderful weekend. If we come back up this way again, we will be booking Papa’s Place again .
