The place was perfect; exactly how it is described. There were many little extras: a crate for the furbabies, a secure fenced area for the dog, clean up bags for the dogs, coffee, filters, shampoo, toothpate, q tips, etc. It also had plenty of toilet paper towels and rags, and more. We had so much fun and plenty of room for everyone. The rental had so many games and activities that are on the property grounds for guests to use and enjoy. We would glady stay here again.
We headed north for some fall golf and a trip up to Lelanau Peninsula. Great location for both. Home had everything we needed. Loved the king bed in the master bedroom. Slept great. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.
We enjoyed our weekend here. The property had all of the amentities and space that we needed. It was close and convenient to Crystal Mtn. We were pleasantly surprised to find the attention to detail (an extra toothbrush, toothpaste, coffee creamers, candy bowl, etc) that made us feel at home. We also enjoyed discovering all of the antiques and collectables that made this property charming.
The layout was perfect for my high schoolers and it was very affordable. The nice big kitchen and living room made it easy to spread out and we never felt cramped. The site was quiet even with 2 other rentals on it.
Our group included three families with children. This house was great for our large group. The kitchen was easy to cook in and had plenty of room. The living room was a great gathering area for our large group as well. I can’t speak to the other beds, but my husband and I slept in bedroom closest to the patio area and it was very comfortable. The check in and check out were simple. The owner is also friendly and quick to respond to questions. I would recommend this cabin.
We had 10 people in our group, 2 families. There was ample room for all of us plus more! The place was quiet and comfortable and there were no issues at all. I would definitely stay again when We’re the area. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had a lot of amenities if you wanted to cook in a lot. We were out and about a lot and only there to wind down and sleep. But I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the stay or the house:)
