Great stay but needs improvement
This house is located in a beautiful location at Big Glen Lake. Water is warm and great for swimming, though you do need to watch out for Swimmers itch. We had a lot of fun kayaking. There are no kayaks at the house but they can be rented easily and are delivered to the house. Proximity to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Haven, Glen Arbor, and Traverse City makes this house a perfect staging ground for many outdoor activities, dining, and shopping. House is big enough for a large party with lots of room to stretch. But the property needs improvement to make this a much more pleasant stay. Carpets are very stained, especially in the bedroom facing the lake on the first floor. They really need deep cleaning or likely need to be replaced. When we arrived, there was food on the floor in the hallway pantry. Patio was very messy and we had to clean it ourselves as soon as we got there. Toys and water gear were thrown on the garage floor blocking one of the side doors. There were mouse droppings in the house. One of the showers had only hot water so it was not usable. More comfortable seating is needed for the first floor patio facing the lake. Bathroom fans don't really work and are very loud. There was only one smoke detector in the entire house which is a safety hazard. Air conditioners work well when needed. There are rusty carpet tacks sticking out of the carpet in the kitchen which we had to cover to prevent injury. Wifi is spotty and does not fully cover the entire house. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and had a great time, but were disappointed in the condition of the house. I expect better for the amount of money we paid for the week.
