Amazing Stay- Highly Recommend!
I recently stayed at this property through Vrbo, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was just as advertised, if not better! The property was situated in a perfect spot, close to everything. It was easy to access stores and restaurants. It had everything we needed for a convenient and enjoyable stay. The home itself was beautiful and well-maintained. We really appreciated the attention to detail – the place felt like a true home away from home. Everything was clean and comfortable, from the beds to the kitchen.Our hosts,Tia and Mike, were wonderful. They were quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our stay. They made sure we had everything we needed and even provided us with local tips and recommendations.Overall, I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a vacation. We would definitely return.Thank you to the host for such an amazing experience!

Great house
We had to move out of our house due to a waterline break. This house was close to ours, clean, cute and well appointed. The owners were very accommodating as we had to extend our stay and they made everything easy and seamless for us.

Emergency Stay
Had to move out of our house for an expected 9 day stay. Needed to be near our home and had to be pet friendly. This was the perfect property for us. Layout was cozy and close to everything we needed. Our hosts were very accommodating, as we needed to extend our stay twice. The neighborhood is beautiful and the view was very serene. We would highly recommend this home!

Great family getaway
Tia and Mike were easy to reach when we had questions. There are 4 bedrooms (1. queen, 2. queen with a futon, 3. single over double bunk, 4. queen bed with 2 couches in the basement) and 2 extra cots, and 4 full bathrooms, which was so nice for our extended family of 11. There were extra linens - sheets, blankets and towels. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed: dishes, glasses, pots, pans, utensils, even full ice cube trays. We really enjoyed the kayaks and the paddleboat. There's plenty of seating inside and out. It was a fun time for our whole family!

Family Trip
We were very happy with our stay. The house was clean and had plenty of space for our family. The kitchen was stocked with everything you may need and the deck outside overlooking the lake was the best part of the stay. We were out there with our morning coffee, evening dinners and visiting with family at night. It was very peaceful and quiet in the neighborhood. Although we didnt have time to use any of them, there were kayaks, pedal boat, and a fire pit available for us to use. We will have to visit again and spend more time on the lake! Thank you for the great family memories.

Beautifully tree lined road for morning walks and deck with plenty of seating for sunsets. Great layout, plenty of games and movies and a huge tv for watching Sunday football! We will revisit if in the area.

Relaxing stay!
It served our purpose well! We needed a place to stay close by the night before and the morning after my daughter’s wedding. It was a perfect retreat from the stress. Very relaxing. My only suggestion for renters is be aware and find out your TOTAL cost before you lock in because there is no refund once you pay the full cost at booking.

Great House
This house was perfect for my sister's and our daughters. There were just a few problems, but did not damper our time spent at the house. The worst problem was not having a lighter in the house for the firepit or grill. We just had one of our daughters bring one. The house was large enough and had sleeping space for all of us. Text messages to the property owner were answered in a timely manner when we were on property. Good option for larger gatherings.

Very Disappointing Property
The online listing looked great, but this was a very disappointing property. The beds and pillows were uncomfortable. The laundry machine had a warning about poor water quality and potential damage to clothes, so we couldn’t even use the laundry. The coffee pot was terrible and made a sludge. The patio was filthy and we had to clean all chairs before sitting on them. The kayaks had water in them, were dirty, and essentially useless for our trip. There was a sign on the neighbor’s property that they were watching the house. The house had almost none of the basics that we come to expect with VRBO properties, such as basic cooking materials, tin foil, paper towels, travel shampoos, etc. The owner needs to do some serious investment in this property in the little things.

Had to stock house with soap dish soap kitchen essentials paper towels toilet paper soap… the house is very expensive already. Wish it had been properly stocked.. also air conditioning was very uneven. HOT upstairs… quite uncomfortable for sleeping

We appreciated having lots of seating and also the small details that made it an easy stay—especially fans in the bedrooms. Owners were great! Communication was excellent. Would stay here again!!

Great Thanksgiving Getaway
The house was great for our group of 9 (4 adults and 5 kids under 12). There was plenty of room to spread out but still be together for the holidays. The property was clean and the hosts were very attentive. Also, it is tucked away in a nice quiet neighborhood but very close to everything! We were able to got to the mall, iFly in Novi, and the Henry Ford Museum.

Perfect Home For a Group Gathering
This is our second stay at this lovely home. Several family members and friends were gathering and having 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms was just fabulous!!! The kitchen , dining, living areas are all open with sliders to the large deck. It is a bright and comfortable space. The fire pit area is large and accommodates several people. The hosts are very responsive and helpful. We will definitely return on our next trip to the area if available. Thumbs up!!

Great family getaway!
We had a wonderful time staying at Mike and Tia’s property. The accommodations were exactly as described and we would highly recommend renting the pontoon boat as it makes the lake experience even better! We ended up having a storm and power outage and they were immediately available to provide various solutions so it did not impact our trip too much. We look forward to staying at one of Mike and Tia’s properties in the future!

Lovely Home!!
I needed a home for a very sad occasion, however, this was such a comforting place to stay and my family (even the furry ones) felt welcome and extremely comfortable. The open layout was great for a group of folks with lots of stools and large dining table. The kitchen had many amenities, the beds comfortable and the living area was open and inviting. We were able to enjoy the fire pit around raindrops. It was great to have 4 bedrooms and an unheard of 4 bathrooms!! Thank you Mike and Tia for having us and for being so easy to work with. Would definitely stay here again.
