Michigan Ski Trip

Visited Boyne Mountain and Nub’s Nob. Enjoyed the fresh snow and these two great resorts. The property was exactly as described and is situated in a quiet & rural area. 20 minutes from Boyne Mountain and about 40 to Nub’s. We will be back for our next ski visit.

Summer vacation

Fritz and Pam were great hosts! Everything was clean and there were plenty of games to keep the kids occupied. Great location, very quiet. Pam helped with planning some of our day trips and suggested a few things we hadn't heard of. Great experience and we will be back!

The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and cozy. Apartment has everything you could need and even had snacks left out for us! Outside property is great, corn hole and firepit available for guest use. Location is perfect to go to nearby attractions (we went to Mackinaw Island, which was a 45 min drive). Most importantly, I felt very safe at the property, which was important as I am a single parent with 3 kids. Hosts were great, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond. Would highly recommend this apartment and would most definitely stay again if in the area.

Couldn't have chose a better place to stay! We had a fire with wood that was provided, saw lots of shooting stars and enjoyed coffee on the balcony. The feeling was warm and welcoming. We will definitely stay again. Thank you for providing a great atmosphere!

Mini Vacay in the Woods

10 miles North of Gaylord, perfect location. Fully furnished apartment above the pole barn. Full use of the yard, picnic area and fire pit. Apartment had anything that you'd need, just pack your tooth brush. Apartment was clean, cozy, and comfortable. I highly recommend staying here. Golf Course and a Rail Trail for walking or bike riding, less than a mile down the road. Will stay again when in the area! Pam & Fritz have such a beautiful home, and are wonderful hosts.

Well appointed and spacious

This was by far the best stocked and thought out VRBO we have stayed at. Extremely clean, everything we needed and then some. Even had snacks on our arrival. There is a queen bed and three twins in the bedroom which provided ample room and comfortable sleeping arrangements for our family. A dishwasher, washer and dryer, toaster, can opener.... all of the things others seem to be lacking... were all present! Very peaceful and beautiful property that was an easy jumping off point for Sleeping Bear Dunes, Petoskey, Charlevoix, Macinac, and Lake Michigan. We really enjoyed looking for stones at the beach. Pam ensured we were comfortable and even had games for the kiddos. Fritz set up a corn hole toss that our family thoroughly enjoyed. We didn't get to use the fire pit as we had hoped, but it was ready to go with kindling, firewood and matches nearby. Sheltered picnic area and tabletop grill were also provided. We would highly recommend their VRBO. Also, if you are using Google to navigate, it stops just short of their road. Go to the next dirt road on your left and it's the first house on the left. Signs point you to a nice shaded parking area just to the left of the cottage.

Amazing getaway!

The cottage was so charming and the property absolutely beautiful! The most gorgeous setting we have rented so far. Pam and Fritz were so charming and accommodating…they even set up the fire pit every night for us. The accommodations were clean, so comfortable, nicely decorated and charming. We will definitely repeat our visit if they will have us! Thank you so much Pam and Fritz for being such warm and accommodating hosts!!!
